Well, I TRed Fireflash. I still need to craft some GS stuff, but I can do that when I can actually use it. Elf Paladin, 16 STr, 14 CON, 16 CHA, rest split between INT and WIS. Skills are Concentration, UMD, and Heal. Feats are Dragonmark, THFx3, IC
lash, PA, Extend. Debating sacrificing the capstone for two Fighter levels, which would allow for Emp Heal. But I'm not certain it would be necessary, experience tells me it's not.

Didn't see much in the way of need to respect after the update. None of mine anyway had the "you have 42 points to spend" message. I did tweak a few but was easy.
Necro stuff was not bad. End reward will be fixed soon I hope. Mobs in the explorer area are nasty and respawn way to fast. Use the teleport agent to go to quests unless you want to clear the area on the way. Running past mobs will start a red alert in a matter of min.

Could you replace the extend for empower healing when you hit the epic levels?
I see quite a few paladin builds with quicken instead of extend. I'm not sure you need it for the cure spells. Guess one can try without and if these spells are interrupted then quicken is needed. Maybe focus on the concentration skill is done to avoid having to take quicken.
Some people say that taking maximize could be better than empower healing since maximize works on all spells, not only healing spells. So if you get light spells at epic levels then these could do a lot more damage.

My new paladin (when I TR my level 25 half elf fighter) will be human and be something like: 17 STR, 16 CON, 16 CHA, 10 INT, 9 WIS and 8 DEX.
Skill focus on: heal, concentration, umd and later balance when the tomes set in.
Feats: PA, THF x3, IC slashing, maximize (or empower healing), quicken (or extend), cleave (for Legendary Dreadnought Momentum swing or Lay waste). Level 21 I take Overwhelming critical. If I don't twist in Momentum swing and Lay waste then I take something else than Cleave, like Toughness so I can take Epic toughness at level 24.
I will get the displacements from the GS clickies. Therefore I don't go for the Dragonmark.

I'm under no real pressure to TR Shadohe so I'll probably wait until the character planner is updated and maybe even until the update gets patched. I'm feeling pretty good about my dual dwarven axe kensai plan, but I'd still like to play with the character planner a bit just to see what's out there. Probably going to be a while before I have another toon in position to bring around.
If we end up with another TR wave, it would be nice for everyone to update their rosters in the other thread.

The character planner won't be completely updated soon (e. g. Harper tree). They are making a completely new planner with a different interface and it's some months away from being released.

Turbine have managed to mess up the LFM's. Now you can't immediately see the people who have already joined a pug LFM. All you see is the quest in the list.
If you go into the who tab and search people then the pug LFM's will show who have already joined. Not user friendly at all.
Some say the reason for this is to reduce the risk of loading to red. Earlier the game had to read all online players when logging. That was good for LFM's etc., but not for logging in. So Turbine have removed that functionality with the result of people not seeing the fill rate of LFM's unless they manually search all players.

I'm using Extend for Displacement (can't do that with clickies) and Divine Favor, so I probably won't swap it out. I'm not sure how far into the epics I'll get before Fireflash is either TRed or left sitting, so I don't plan much there, but most likely I'll be taking OC and Quicken at 21 and 24 respectively. I doubt I'll push beyond that outside of a group effort.
Which theoretically a high concentration will allow for spellcasting, experience shows that it can't go high enough to meet the damage thresholds in EH, much less EE. So Quicken will almost be required. This is why I am playing loose with the build and thinking of tossing in two Fighter levels, so I can add in Quicken earlier, and maybe Empower Healing.
While Empower Healing isn't as strong as Maximize, it also costs less to use. Also, Paladins don't get any offensive spells affected my metamagics outside of off-ED's, so I'm not certain it's really needed.

As far as the lfm goes, you don't even have to do a search, just change to that tab then change back. Lfm will then populate.

We have the guild vault with 4 chests. What goes in what chest is in the guild message. Don't think it is safe to swap the bash room in for the vault, afraid we might end up loosing items out of the chests, so use farshifter room, grab your buff, then put him back. If he is not down there, no access to him from navigator.
