planning on making for pking, so just a norm rush because a) it's easier to do and b) it's easier to find games without having to switch characters...
Level 21
Skills:
4 conc (max for level)
1 blessed aim
1 might
4 zeal
14 sac

Gear:
Maxed pally shield/hat
15 max twitch
15 max clegs
angelics
ck books
deaths gloves/belt
probably ~25 sustenance charms and the rest filled with dmg charms, with the obligatory 1-2 cold damage somewhere
Switch:
15 maxed clegs
~30 max ~80% res shield

estimated specs:
~40-900 (~700 with switch) 1h w/ 50% DS
~800 life
5 zeal hits@5 fpa
75% block with base dex
I have some fhr in charms, so 32 or 48 (9 or 8 frame)

And my various questions:
1) If I go ~60 res/45 max on my switch shield I'll still have max fire/lightning res but I won't have stacked cold resist (or not much). Should I go that route? Or maybe saphirre/diamond/2 maxes? Or should I just not worry about the resists too much?
2) If I were to hostile an enchanted party is it better to do hotspur or nokozon or both or just use above mentioned shield switch and not sacrifice any block/life?
3) What kind of PvP damage do snap/insight/honor chargers dish out? (In other words would I be better off sticking to 18, filling my inventory completely with sustenance, and sacrificing some damage?)
4) And any other general comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm not new to pvp, but I've never really done any lld or pk before.

I was thinking I'd be able to hunt people in the high 20s/low 30s, as any higher than low 30s as even though a sorc's life doesn't change her damage sure starts going up quick. I reckon that'll be in weaker baal runs and the occaisional A4/A5 questing games where not everyone is level 20 and running around scared waiting for a high level. I was also thinking enchanted tomb runs, as even though it'd be hunting from slightly below level to fairly close to level, enchanted parties can still be quite cocky from time to time.

Or, if you decide to duel at all, join LLD games, and destroy those pesky level 18 chargers.

heya...i figure i can offer advice on ur build considering i have a 21 zealot of my own on useast (BtK-Blackadin). His gear is identical to the gear you are presenting except that i would recommend switching cowking to sander's boots. His charms are also more or less the same, and as such he has 1.1kpvm///900 life. I've found it to be a safe practice not to pick on duelers lvl 27 and over, especially paladins (honor chargers can potentially 1 hit you). Anything lvl 26 and below, however, has been bested with ease. i would recommend, however, getting 1 pt into charge, especially considering you are a pk, and it will help you catch your prey. if you need any advice online, just msg me *giwit

I've taken the charge and sanders advice, he's built now, 871 dmg 808 life, 648 dmg with resist shield, I'd forgotten that CK boots add 35 fire dmg so that's why my damage estimates were a little low.
Soon as I get some wps (specifically river + wsk2) I plan on starting hunting, can't wait to see how he does.
