Please give my paladin the go ahead

[thedreamshaper]

Well my Pala is coming up in the world, now he needs some reassurance that he is going the right way.

Equip:
Coa(2 sock 12%)
fortitude(perf)
Exile(13 - 252 - 42)
Grief(what weapon! ? )
Raven
Bull kathos
Dracul/rare glowes
crafted amulet
WT
verdungo

Am i on the right track :) ? i got most of the stuff, all the expensie any way. But i am not sure as to if i should make my grief in a phase blade or a Berzerker Axe.

ps. I am playing hc ladder


How will my ias be ? i will use anhilus and torch

Thx for all youre help :)

[F1R3STR1D3R]

Use gores, angelic ring/ammy or highlords/raven, make grief in phase blade but if you can hit 4 fpa with berserker axe then go for that, cham ber coa if you have no raven or ber ber coa if you do decide to wear raven (but try to get 15% before you use the hrs), use dracs, and what defense on the exile?

Other than that it looks good.

[thedreamshaper]

Well i am not sure where i can find reliable IAS sources. And why the angelic ? .. i neglected to inform you that i am a smiter. And as souch deadly wont work either i am afraid. Should i still go with Gores for the crushing ?

Good call on the cham un COA btw :) immense help, i was going to ber but Cham is alot better i think :thumbsup:

i assume you are aware of the differences between sc and hc, and duelling tactics?

[thedreamshaper]

I am aware of how to duel in HC .. not in SC :)

at any rate i just made my grief, 38/340 -_-

i am having problems doing good enough damage..

grief
fortitude
Coa
Wt
ias/dx glowes
maras
raven/bull
vortex exile

anhillus/torch

i havent had a chance to duel yet, but the testing isnt as good as i had hoped, i am how ever fairly optimistic :)

but back to point.

What is the difference, i mean i do watch SC pvp every now and then, and i have borrowed friends chars. But i never relaly gotten into it

[Baranor]

hehehe SC is fighting by attrition, while in HC it is to hit the hardest as full juvies are perfectly acceptable. u plan to use chicken?

[Speederländer]

You're risking all that stuff for HC dueling? :eek:

I could see it for PKing the unsuspecting but dueling....that's a real risk. You have bigger cojones than I have. :D

Hey Baranor, I thought you might find this entertaining. I posted a SC PVP guide on the Amazon Basin. It was gigantic, like 30+ single spaced pages in Word. Well, one single line in the CREDITS(!!) thanked some dude for fun HC PKing a long time ago, and one of their mods proceeded to PM me about how shameful I was. That went on for several PMs. I tried to get a voice of reason with the admin but he/she reflexively supported the mod that was PMing me. The fact that I had ever PKed at all and that I wasn't willing to apologize right there to them, via PM, meant my guide had to go. I even have the PMs saved somewhere. It would have been funny had it not been so ridiculous. :rolleyes: It was the credits! And just one bloody line!!

Well, i hope he will last through a few duels :)

But i dont really like my damage, so i think ill have to make a phoenix vortex shield ?

[mastermind]

Life: 1800 without bo
Defense: 35000k without shout
"shown" dmg: 2250 (with fana and shield)

When i change to Combat skillers ill loose about 150 life i figure.

Would phoenix be a good thing damage wise ?

And i asure you all helping with this build that ill make it count Good :D

[rolling stoned]

the shown dmg is deceptive. it doesn't show the dmg mod from grief up there. your probly doing a hell of alot more dmg then that. also make sure you have a looter in the game with you to snag all that uber gear. :thumbsup:

edit:
forgot to say keep the exile and don't bother wasting runes on the other runeword.

Oh i know, but i just aint satisfied with the damage barbs take, including the 50% dmg reduce. I really need dmg :(
