PvP Dreamadin help

[moop]

I haven't had much experience in PvP, and this build looked fun and not too hard to master. I read a few guides, and this is what I've gathered so far:

Stats: Obvious what the answer is here, right?

Skills:
20 Resist Lightning - Obvious reasons
20 Conviction - With a torch, anni and highlords mentioned below, I'll hit 25. How much are offensive GCs?(For trumping other conviction auras)
20 Holy Shield - Defence = good
20 Charge - Good for getting around, fast, deals good damage I think?
4 Zeal - For PvM, may have some usage in PvP?
Prereqs

With that, I have 93 points spent, meaning the build is complete at 81. Not sure what the rest of my points should go into. Defiance for more defence?

Planned gear:
Weapon: Grief PB - This isn't considered BM/Cheating is it? I also thought about Beast Zerker for the Fanaticism aura to help with charging
Helm: Dream Bone Visage
Shield: 40+ base resist Dream elite pally shield
Armour: Not sure on this one. Guide I read suggests Fort or CoH.
Amulet: Highlords - The skill helps conviction, IAS helps attacks and the deadly strike is slick
Ring 1: Raven - Obvious reasons
Ring 2: Wisp/BK? - Not sure on the approximate price of either of these. Other options? Maybe a 2nd Raven?
Gloves: I don't know really...Guide says Laying of hands is a good choice for the IAS? Maybe Bloodfists?
Belt: Dungos - I have one lying around, not sure on the stats. Nice life, fhr and DR
Boots: Gores - DS, OW and CB are beautiful things

Charms:
Will I need to stack up on 20 life scs? I plan keeping a few offensive GCs lying around incase I need to beat somebody else's conviction.

How much life should I be achieving with this build? Is my gear on the right track?

Your help is appreciated, :D

sure you dont want to put those points in defiance into salvation? when i play auradins i hardly ever use melee, mainly for killing casters and such... meh, deadly strike doesn't do as much for you as other builds, as your melee damage isnt as high, and ias doesn't help too much on charge i don't think, your charge rate is constant, but then again, i don't charge much. go with bk or soj for second ring...

[greyoldfellow]

Actually, if he has 20 in Charge + Grief + Ds it can do big damage...
Rings should be 2 ravens, or 1 raven + wisp/dstar. Amor use CoH, else ur resist will suck...

Okay, thanks for that

Will it be necessary for me to stockpile a bunch of life charms?

Will AR be a necessary thing for me, or will Conviction + Charge take care of AR issues?

[inanefedaykin]

Conviction isn't worth a damn for AR in PvP (except in a few circumstances), but charge gives huge ar. Since you'll mainly be going after casters your CTH won't be too bad.

You want nigma as armor for str boost, frw, skills. Plus, if you don’t ur gonna be getting bonewalled by every nec that enters the game. Make up for res w/ jewelry, torch, anni, sc’s. I’d say dracs for openwounds in the glove department.

When I was fairly new to pvp, I made a dream dream zeal/charger and I got jumped nonstop. So I guess what I’m saying is be ready to piss a lot of folks off. If you go into a game hosting lots of people, but ur only fighting one, then everyone else is getting pulsed by ur aura when they’re off dueling someone else. I personally bm most auradins cuz they host me and then hang around screwing up other good 1v1 duels I’m having.

How much life do I need to shoot for? Will CTA be necessary?

[inanefedaykin]

Cta is always necessary.
