Defenses Distribution 03/25/2011 12:14 AM CDT

I'm wondering how most folks' defenses are spread apart. As a survival primary, my evasion is almost 20 ranks ahead of my parry, multi, and armor skills.

How do your defenses stack up, and how do you fare with them? I'm considering putting together a defense training guide of sorts, so if you could post your guild and circle, that would be helpful as well. You don't necessarily have to post your exact ranks, but just knowing the spread between the skills would be tremendously helpful.

Thanks in advance!

The gap between shield and everything else is pretty huge, but I don't notice it causing me any problems training. The worst that happens is I stop learning shield before everything else in a hunting area. But, I tend to stay in an area until I can move to the next one without needing buffs so it doesn't really matter.

I'm generally good in any stance. I use stance evasion for LB, stance parry for 2HE, and stance shield for TM. Since I keep all three at primary weapon req, it keeps defenses pretty balanced.

I usually will move hunting grounds when evasion slows way down, so that is what has made that gap so big. But I have had very little problems along the way.

For some time I was only training one worn armor in combat and then I was shamed into training more by some fellow paladins and one lore-mage. My low parry is due to the fact that I just dislike parry. I'm currently unsure what stance is best for training my armor. I was backtraining when the defense exp changes happened and when I went back to work on my main skills a little this morning I've noticed that learning is dragging on everything. I suspect that has something to do with overhunting though and little to do with the changes.

I train my defenses by training tons of weapons. I have about 8 weapons around 80 ranks behind evasion, and I only move on when I can kill them fast enough not to need buffs, or dance with four easily while buffed.

With full WM buffs (YS, SuF, SW, MaF) can dance with 3 juvie armadillos, but god forbid I try to take a swing. And can hit them with lightning bolt almost consistently and occasionally MoA sticks, both while using Pathway Accuracy. No other TM spell connects... yet :). And like another warmie, didn't train shield 'til later on.
