Hello,
I have a few questions that hopefully some more experienced Paladin players can answer.
1) Is the Minor Circle really worth it? With 101, 103, 107 easy to come by, are 115, 118 and 120 worth the training points? Instead the points could go towards lores.
2) What are the best CMANS to pick up for Shield/OHB?

I think so, especially later. I know I'm really glad I have 120!

I trained my pally up to 140. I like the Zealot style. At cap he has 1640 and 140.
As for shield/cmans here is what I have.
Surge, Feint, Wspec, and Sbash are probably what I would recommend to every paladin.

Thanks to you both for the replies.
I think I am going to skip the minor spiritual circle in favor of doing lores and see how it goes. The additional defensive gain from 120 just isn't that strong to me in an era where spells across all cricles are fairly easy to obtain via MIU / AS.
I will use both of your CMAN lists as a template.

Minor spirit is essential if you hunt the rift as you can only self spell.
Also minor spirit does help in boosting your paladin cs somewhat.
Spirit strike is very handy as well. Other than 25 religion there isn't s whole lot lores will do for ya compared to flat DS and TD boosts.

A bit late on this, but my paladin didn't learn 120 until right before this fixskill rolled over (he had his from last year). He's level 65 I think, and I never missed not having 120.
At some point you will want them, but I did (and still do) 1x lores. Get 1640, 1x lores, and eventually you can squeeze in 100s. I didn't even get 103 until after level 40.
115, 117, 120 are all pretty good, but you can wait until after level 60 if you're so inclined. I like 116 too as it couples very well with 1640.

Late on this as well, but to give you a contrary stance, at fresh level 56, I'm fully 1x'd in spells, 1640, and 118. I'm axe and shield, with one focused multistrike, in full plate and working on my religion lores (18 currently). I have my fixskills from a couple weeks back to hold me over through the year if I want to try something crazy eventually, or if I find that when I get into 120 isn't worth it. As-is though, my CS is very reliable and I can ward creatures I hunt pretty much all the time. The amount of benefit we get from self-spelling with the 120's is very helpful too. The biggest issue is that at our typical armor, using the 100's in the field is never going to happen.
From training into the 100's I get 10 phyiscal DS, 65 bolt DS, 12 more elemental TD, 25 more spiritual TD, 19 more sorcerer TD, extra chances on warding rolls, walking across water (viper-shroud muck much?), and bonuses against disease/poison warding. A non-trivial other bonus is being able to have feeder spells for things that remove buffs. Winged vipers in the red forest, and darkstone are both annoying places for that, but the chances of stuff I'm really dependent on getting stripped away is reduced.

One of the great things about paladins is that they are pretty difficult to train badly in my opinion.
In that sense, I believe the answer to the question of if 100s are "worth it" or not just depends on you. I preferred to get into full plate right away, which was a major investment of training points. My paladin also has 8x armor so the appeal of added DS from 120 was much lower for me even if he's THW user.
>The biggest issue is that at our typical armor, using the 100's in the field is never going to happen.
I think this depends if you have a habit of using 1603 or not. With armor fluidity and Faith's Clarity running, I get either zero or very low hindrance for the 100s. In that sense, I've been enjoying Spirit Strike in the field quite a lot the last weeks. But I already had a habit to keep 1603 running at least for the initial encounter with a new creature, since the hindrance for full plate for 1600s is some 7 or 8% which is enough to annoy me without 1603 active.
Overall the difficulty in answering if MnS is worth it for a paladin is two-fold
1) Minor Spirits are pretty useful in general
2) Paladins are fairly robust
I was slowly working my way up the 100s. 103 is only a couple ranks, and 107 isn't too far after that (and I liked 108 for the 'rescuer' theme my character has going). Then you hit the wall of 109, 110, and 111 which are among the least useful training points you're likely to spend in your GS career as a paladin (in protest I saved up enough TPs to jump straight from 108 to 112...as I also like Water Walking for some geographies). 113 and 114 aren't very appealing when you should already know 1635. The final result of getting to 120 is really nice, but there's a bit of grinding involved to get past some spells of much lower appeal.
Incidentally, I'm surprised paladins like Web (a few people are noting spell 118 in this thread, maybe by chance). My sorcerer loves the spell but I didn't expect to get much use of it on a paladin. The TD pushdown combined with 1612 could make it feasible? I guess I can consider this. It does seem like a fun spell to try for Sanctify, though the lore requirement is not small.

Chiming in again, I'm currently 93 and hunting OTF exclusively. I've found that as I got older I utilize a lot more setup spells than I used to. Here's my training:
Kaight (at level 93), your current skill bonuses and ranks (including all modifiers) are:
Skill Name | Current Current
| Bonus Ranks

I like to rotate between 4 rooms in OTF right now. I either circle around the Asylum or the Basilica. I use Faith's Clarity to open cast Web in the 4 rooms and then just roam around. If I encounter an Adept or Seer, I'll use Spirit Strike to power through their defense after using Feint. I find Web to be pretty darn useful since I have so much Spirit Lore. I'll generally find a few Ithzir already webbed as I wander around rooms during a hunt which makes their DS ridiculously low and stops them from performing any action. If I encounter constructs, you can open cast Aura of the Arkati as it bypasses their golden aura and lowers their DS by quite a bit. I don't find much use for unbalance as it's a warding spell and my Minor Spiritual CS isn't great at only 20 spell ranks in that circle.
With my current training, I can wear the below spells without bursting.
401: Elemental Defense I - 0:20:44 - 5 bDS, 5 pDS, 5 elemTD, 2 spirTD, 4 sorcTD
406: Elemental Defense II - 0:21:10 - 10 bDS, 10 pDS, 10 elemTD, 5 spirTD, 8 sorcTD
414: Elemental Defense III - 0:21:14 - 20 bDS, 20 pDS, 15 elemTD, 7 spirTD, 10 sorcTD
503: Thurfel's Ward - 0:18:21 - 20 bDS, 20 pDS
509: Strength - 0:19:26 - 15 pAS, 15 str
601: Natural Colors - 0:45:32 - 10 bDS, 10 pDS
602: Resist Elements - 0:45:36 - 15 bDS
911: Mass Blur - 0:36:21 - 20 dodge
I use a two handed weapon so bolt defense is critical against seers and adepts. Your TD is also lower due to not having a shield. I find Lesser Shroud to be very useful as it gives me that extra bump in TD. Right now, only Adepts and Seers can ward me with 50+ or so end rolls. Heralds can occasionally get a Lullabye off on me with a very high endroll. Unless I get RT locked I really don't have any difficulty hunting OTF at all.

My paladin with 20 minor spiritual and 30 paladin base has only 2 less CS with Web than my same-level empath with 30 minor spiritual, 30 major spiritual, and 83 empath base. I can't say I use it often when 1614, 1615, and 1630 are all right there, but it can definitely be worth casting even with low spell training like mine, never mind spell-heavy paladins.

I'm virtually positive that there is only one 'K' in 'nock', as it applies to archery. Any chance you could 'bug' that in-game?

I came to conclusion 2x in CMs is actually better than 2x in Dodge.. although (since I am capped) it isn't a bad cap goal. Reasoning being CM RT Lock seems to be more killer and it won't matter what your Defense is if you keep getting nicked.
