At slvl 25, conviction only effects -defense. Once you get to slvl 25 [-150 resist] it stops. Because of this templars have to plan around their gear.

Example:

You have a total of +11 to offensive auras after end gear.

25-11=14

You only need to put 14 points into conviction in this case. NOT 20. NOT.

Yeah check out my guide. It'll answer all your questions and if not PM me

absolutely do not max out holy bolt.... max out conviction because when foh vs foh meets the higher conviction cancels the other out...

max:
foh
conviction
holy shock
holy shield

my foh pally did 8k foh before he got banned

I've heard the conviction bug theory a billion times and I've never seen the conviction aura theory tested or proven, so I fail to believe it. I dueled with my templar for months and months with a slvl 25 conviction and never once lost to another templar, even if they had 30+ slvl conviction. Because of this, I find maxing conviction obsolete. Even if the bug did work, your skill points can be much better used elsewhere... considering 99% of the people you face aren't templars with conviction. Weak smite > the supposed conviction bug Any day.

If you went to the guide that post #'s 4 and 5 asked you to go to, there is/was a maximum blocking formula located inside. Here it is for you:

Max Block formula:
%to block=(%block on shield+bonus from skill)*(dex-15)/(clvl*2)

Insert the proper numbers for your situation, and bam you have your number.

First of all, I do acknowledge that it can exist. I stated I needed evidence via testing. You know. Evidence. "Innocent until proven guilty." That shit.

Second of all, You blatantly missed my point. So I am going to make it easy for you.

I killed characters with a slvl 30+ conviction with my slvl 25 conviction, every. single. time. Not once did I ever lose to a templar. Ever.

I also pointed out that 99% of the people you duel will not use conviction, which makes maxing such a skill completely obsolete [if you didn't find the above information enough to do so] when you can kill them with a slvl 25 conviction anyways. Investing into a weak smite with a pure templar only makes perfect sense. It is very to easy to negate a templar completely - and it makes a duel pointless unless you have a secondary attack.

I truthfully don't care whether or not your un-proven "trust" guilt is right or wrong. The arguement is obsolete because it does not matter.
