Just passed my 6th MQ and got to paladin.

Only problem now is that I have to change from daggers -> new weapon setup and read up on how to stat one of these bad boys

Can you guys help me?

well, heres a list of weapons a pally can use.
its really only up to your personal preference.
sword, club, axe, longsword, warhammer, battleaxe, polearm

as far as your armor and charms are concerned, you should be fine using the same ones you used on your sammie climbs.

Pallys however have a bit more str and a bit less dex then sammies.

Maybe a list of your old sammies gear and I can give you some tips on stat'in your newly unlocked pally =)

Go with axes, cause with daggers and axes u can go trhought all melee characters in LS without needing more weapons, so u got alredy ur dagger setup now get the axe setup , and it wont be so expensive cause axes doesnt worth that much as daggers.

agreed and take some charms also.
And if you have enough make hybrid -> switch to healer in cata with HM+nice heal.
