Gear for a Taru Pld

[doridorimonkey]

I just started Pld for my Taru, my original Plan was to do Drk, but just changed my Mind. lvl 11 right now, and was wonderin' what kind of Gear I should be buying. (stats)

Thanks taking time to read this.

Well, your weakness as a Taru Pally will be your HP. May I suggest some MP -> HP converting items such as the Physical earings?

Anything that Adds HP is good! Apart from that, the highest defense rating items you can afford (and some +vit here and there).

at higher lvls you might even want to consider buying a darkstaff (switch between it and the sword during rest).

although your MP store is much larger, the rate at which you regenerate that MP is still the same as other paladins - with a darkstaff, you double that regeneration during resting (+10 mp per tick, LV51).

Thx for the info

At higher levels you won't hardly ever be resting... And switching between a staff and sword will nuke your tp. After 65 Paladin>DRK renkei is one of the more common combinations. I would think even though you'll have an obscene amount of MP at higher level, you won't be chugging it like water.

Physical earrings are good, I use those.

25 MP to HP.

Steppe Belt at level 50 - +40 HP
Guarding Gorget at level 39 15 MP to HP (switch out for Iron Muskteer gorget at level 55)
AF, of course will give you a good HP boost.
Happy Egg, if you did the Easter Event
Bomb Ring worked well for me from up to 50. (Still using it too actually, too lazy to change it out >>)

Don't worry about MP regen either, even with all the -MP you still have more than all the races at the same level. At level 55 when you're able to use all the non-af adding MP gear listed, you still have well over 300 MP, closer to 400 by the time you get to 60, so the staff isn't really of any use. And Gravitation renkei with Swift Blade is good, Spirits Within isn't bad either if you feel like doing some damage.

my suggestion is to keep up to date on your gear every 3-4 levels or so have the most to date stuff. yeah it can get expensive but being better equiped will help make up for racial disadvantages. that and i'm sick of seeing ppl running around w/ gear 5-10 lvls out of date (especially the type that doesn't have any stats so they can't use it as an excuse)
