What in your opinion is the BEST melee pvp pally? :)

[RetroStar]

I just got a full Gris set so I planned on making a Pally out of those stuff.. but wanna know whats the best PVP Melee dueler.. I tried my hands on a Avenger but they hit too slow to do any good.. :/ So I thought a charger might be pretty cool... What do you think? I have the following stuff for the a build..

Weapon:
Schaefer
Redeemer
1.09 Gris Cacdeous
Gimmershred
BStar
Nords

Shield:
HOZ
Gris Vortex

Armour:
GAngel

Whats the strongest build for PVP Melee in your opinion in pubby games.. any opinion would be real nice Thnx! :)

Depend how you define "Smite" skill ....If Smite is melee attack for you then Vindicator is ultimate PvP melee paladin

[ThePunisher]

I'd say smite. Failing that the paladin lacks any particularly devastating melee attacks... the next best might be charge. But smite is superior to charge for actual melee fights.

[Stoutwood]

I would have to say that smite owns all melee, be it barb, pally, zon or assassin. The uninterruptible is just too good to overlook. It also fits the Griswold set better than any other build.

[IMCL85]

charger with doom zerk is godly. He would own any melee alone with smite and dont forget to dump some point to vigor lol you will become so f-u-c-king fast that might cause server to ditch(in another word demonic machain gun).

[liqu1d_g0at]

doom... lol.....
anyway i think smiter pally is very good in melee, but not as versatile as say a zealot, although a smiter will almost always (sadly) kill a zealot, although smiters are less versatile in the sense they are weak in pvm, they dont do so well against zons and casters, zealots not either but they have more chance...... but if youre looking for melee then i would say smiter or a zealot, or if you want to be different then charger.

[ThePunisher]

Why not use charge + smite? I wouldn't go with zeal for duelling, because it doesn't attack as fast as smite and people usually move aside before you can land your next blows. Stunlock stands a small chance but smite would be better for that. A good charge/smite should own all melee chars, and using charge will give you a shot against casters/ranged too.

[KruxDeValor]

you may also consider a elemental zealot, but with a twist. instead of using a bstar you would use a botd phase or beast phase. instead of fanat as your main aura, conviction. and instead of max damage charms, a mix of light, cold and fire charms.

[RetroStar]

A Charger + Smiter seems interesting.. now I just need a guide.

[ThePunisher]

Not sure where to find a guide, but the basic skills are: max holy shield, smite, fanatacism, charge, vigor/might (vigor is more useful but might has no useless prereqs). Be warned: this is not a great pvm build particularly so expect to have some troubles. It is, however, a good pvp char. Also I really like smiters as boss killers.
One way to gain a bit more viability for pvm (if you have to level yourself the whole way) is to "waste" 4 points in sacrifice, zeal, vengeance, conversion. They will not be used for pvp, but zeal is a very good skill when combined with life leech against most monsters (esp. in conjunction with fanatacism), vengeance will deal with PI's, conversion deals with crowds, and sacrifice is a prereq. You can, I believe, lose these 4 points and still max out the 5 skills mentioned above

for me best pvp pala is charger.i got 14k dmg with botd ba and i beat most of characters including smithers.urs problem will be barbs and foh's but if u know how to fight against them (some tricks in tactic) u'll be unbeaten.
