Paladin optimal team-hunt gear for a lvl 300 paladin?

Question

I haven't played RP in a few years, and just got back to the game. I'm a level 300RP and will almost only team-hunt with a knight and a druid. I am wondering what the optimal equipment is for me? So far we have gone prison, nightmare isles and the ice court-area.

Answer 1

A good set (Not rare or expensive) can be:

•  Zaoan Helmet (Imbuements: Powerful Void),  Demon Helmet (Imbuements: Powerful Void and Powerful Precision) or  Elite Draken Helmet (Imbuements: Powerful Void).
•  Primsatic Armor (Imbuements: Powerful Vampirism), All Tabards ( Firesoul Tabard,  Frostsoul Tabard,  Thundersoul Tabard and  Earthsoul Tabard) or  Depth Lorica (Imbuements: Powerful Vampirism).
•  Prismatic Legs
•  Guardian Boots or  Prismatic Boots
•  Butterfly Ring or  Ring of Blue Plasma
•  Foxtail Amulet or  Collar of Blue Plasma
•   Bow of Destruction (Imbuements: Powerful Strike, Powerful Vampirism and Powerful Void)
•   Crossbow of Destruction (Imbuements: Powerful Strike, Powerful Vampirism and Powerful Void)

Answer 2

If you are helping to tank more than 4 monsters I would use physical protection:

• Zaoan helmet with mana leech
• Prismatic armor with life leech
• Prismatic legs
• Prismatic boots/guardian boots
• Foxtail amulet
• Butterfly ring

If you can afford falcon coif, creeves, gnome armor, and pendulet amulet are better.

If you are just going  to be a shooter:

• Demon helmet with distance skills + mana leech
• Depth lorica with life leech / any tabard
• Prismatic legs
• Prismatic boots
• Same amulets or blue plasma amulet and ring

Right now my favorite bow is the living bow imbued with mana leech, life leech, and critical hit, but the bow of destruction is also good.

A lot has changed since last time I updated this answer, with the addition of several equipment the overall price has been reduced considerably turning most of the options affordable, with that said the new list should go something like this: 

Piece/tier	Basic/Cheap	Best Offensive	Best Defensive	Boss	Speed	Best In Slot
Helmet	Lion Spangenhelm	Stoic Iks Casque	Stoic/lion	Stoic Casque	crest of deep seas/werewolf helmet	Falcon Coif
Amulet	Enchanted Werewolf Amulet	Collar of Blue plasma	Pendulet	N/A	Beetle Necklace	Sleep shawl
Armor	Ghost Chestplate Embrace of nature	Unerring Dragon armor	Mutated Skin Armor	Unerring DSM	Prismatic Armor	Gnome Armor
Crossbow	Xbow of destruction	Umbral Master Crossbow (it lacks sustain)	N/A	Cobra Crossbow	N/A	Naga Crossbow
Bow	Living Vine Bow/Jungle Bow/Bow of cataclysm (situational)	Eldritch Bow	Lion Longbow	N/A	N/A	Falcon Bow
Quiver	Regular Quiver	Jungle Quiver (longer hunts)	N/A	Eldritch Quiver	N/A	Naga Quiver
Legs	Fabulous Legs	Fabulous Legs	Mutated Skin Legs	N/A	Alloy Legs	Falcon Greaves
Ring	Butterfly Ring	Ring of Blue plasma	Prismatic Ring	Blue plasma/Ring of Souls	Time Ring	N/A
Boots	Guardian Boots/ Prismatic Boots	Feverbloom Boots/Winged Boots	N/A	Stoic Iks Boots	Boots of Haste	N/A

Legend:
Basic/Cheap: This is the budget option, it's the minimum you should have through lvl 300, the options here are considered worth in most of cases with few exceptions (embrace of nature/bows) where they are still cheaper than all the rest of options and excels in different categories but aren't comparable to their tiered counterparts,
BIS: Best in Slot means that most of the cases or at least in the cases where both equipment are compared against neutral enemies (dealing/receiving mostly physical damage) these weapons will have an overall better performance, with that said, BIS are only shown in 1 category since they will only be defeated when dealing with specific disadvantage (example pendulet is better than sleep shawl ionly in hunts where there's way higher energy damage than earth damage/physical damage) in any other regualr case the BIS items will outperform any other item by far.
Best Offensive: the EQ of this category is FOCUSED into dealing damage, it has the higher offensive stats at cost of defensive stats, mostly this means that it doesn't have physical resistance which turn it an item useful in hunts/places where you don't receive too much physical damage or where you don't require the extra resistance since the extra damage compensate.
Best Defensive: Simply the regular solo-hunting item, it perform better than any other when boxing and provides enough sustain/damage to be still a balanced item.
Boss: The items here are the most efficient when hunting bosses since they either have an specific bonus for target enemies or they are pretty useful in case of tanking monster/bosses for short time span providing surveillance and still a high offensive stat, most of those items are focused into Targeting rather than AoE and that's why bow are out of the list.

N/A: There's not an item in this specific category that outstand the rest, several different items can be used and perform pretty much the same.
