    Greetings fellow Paladin's,

    I am back from the summer vacation and back to working on my Paladin. I have reached the 88th level and learning how to use my damage related abilities. Specifically, I am looking at the disciplines and AAs as I think I have the spells figured out at the moment.

    At 88 I have the following:

    Holyforge Discipline increases critical hit rate, crippling blow, and slay undead proc rate slightly.

    Inquisitors Judgement adds a DD proc.

    Valorous rage increases critical hit damage with a few counter measures to offset it.

    Righteous Indignation increases 2handed slash accuracy.

    When I want to do damage using a 2 hander, I click Holyforge, Valorous rage, Inquisitor's, and Righteous Indignation. When I want to do damage using a 1 hander, I click Holyforge, Valorous rage, and Inquisitor's. Well last night in breaking off my rust, I clicked righteous indignation and noticed my counter was going down over time with no 2 hander equiped. Is this a case where accuracy mod is not specific to a weapon type? Am I using my skills to their potential or, is there a better way such as actuation order...etc?

    RI is not reliant on wielding a 2 handed weapon, it adds a melee proc that adds a 2 hand slash damage very similar to Inquisitor's Judgment.

    I had a read what I think I see issue here as I checked it up at raidloot prior to posting. Thank you for pointing out that it uses the skill not requires the weapon for damage.

    Somewhat dated but I found Abazz's post about DPS helpful.
