Hi!
I have barely made it to 60 yet so take what I write with a grain of salt!
I will however try to explain my choices above. Feedback appreciated!
Heroic feats give more HP, increased crit chance (though could be more if human!) and makes divine call and encounters recharge quicker. I actually like both the cha and wis feats, so human is likely a solid choice! I picked halfelf cause it felt right with Kasper following Selune (fluff wins?! ).
I went justice as I mainly solo still (kids!) and the damage from the last 2 feats makes a difference, but should be good with helping allies recharge faster too in groups! We also get more chances to recharge our encounters.
Final 15 will go into bulwark for defensive benefits!
I choose protection as it not only gives heaps of temp HP from templars wrath but also gives you a sweet power bonus from your HP when hit, and lets face it, we WILL get hit! ;)
On the power side lots of points will have to go into powers I will likely not use :(
Passives will almost always be Aura of courage and aura of wisdom! Could swap in a defensive one for wisdom, but I suspect quicker recharge for everyone usually wins!
At wills will be Radiant strike always. Much needed mobility. Im not certain about the second one, currently using shielding strike which seems to do slightly more damage then valorous/oath strike. Not sure I see much shield effect from it though. Is the debuff to friends damage from oathstrike working as listed? Seems like a big drawback.
Encounters while levelling atm is Templars wrath (always!) smite and bane, though I will get binding oath for tanking too! Vow of enmity seems like a great one for bosses too.
Some recommend burning light along with the aura of courage too, but I find it tricky to use well.
Dailies will mainly be divine judgement hard hitting AOE and divine protector for tanking.
Defensive enchantments will eventually be radiant for HP, but atm I have mostly silver for deflect. I have decent recovery in order to get faster AG regen and encounter recharge.
I run the scarecrow as active atm, as I havent been able to afford and stone yet.
Thats it for this server downtime, hope you enjoyed the reading!

| Hey Sven,
I am playing as an devotion paladin on Bahamut which is a bit different, but all in all you seem to be having a good solid build to work off.
The passives you listed are awesome in a group and you should definately keep those, keep in mind these passives don't stack when running with 2 pallies so it helps to check which of the 2 has the highest HP and the other one swaps aura of courage for something else (aura protection / aura of truth most often)
I don't know about a bug with oathstrike so can't say much about that.
Burning light works nice against bigger groups of adds because the damage of time it causes also procs aura of courage so that is nice, the charging option for it dos take some getting used to I agree.
enchantment wise you're on the right track as well, get more HP so aura of courage works even better.
the only advise feat wise I would give you is the Divine action feat (heroic feat, 1st column) especially when running dungeons on lvl 70 is it important to have your bubble (divine protector) up as often as you can, so more AP gain is faster daily which is more protection for all, not as important when soloing and lvling stil, but something to keep in mind.
and of course an ioun stone when you are able to afford it :)
I would also advise to read Leeroy's guide here: http://forum.arcgames.com/neverwi....p1
