Hey there! Yes I know, not the best PvP choice as far as paladins go, but I like making under-rated builds. I'm thinking of creating an Avenger that also uses Fist of the Heavens. I've looked through the 1.11 Avenger guide, among others.

Couple questions.

- Is Grief a good weapon for an Avenger? I've never dabbled in Vengeance, so I'm not really sure how it works. If not, what are the best choices? Maybe a Crescent Moon to work in conjuncture with FoH and perhaps...

- Auras? Is it worth it to compliment Vengeance with elemental-aura runewords such as Dream or Dragon? Or should I concentrate on more defensive gear because the added damage isn't worth it?

- Does maxed Vengeance get a decent attack boost? Or will AR be a problem? Should I wear Angelics or will like... Metalgrid and a Raven Frost be enough?

- Let's talk shields... is Stormshield my only option for the max DR? Exile is tempting for the Defense boost... would that be worthwhile? Perhaps a Ber'd HoZ for all around goodness? Kinda at a loss here.

In short, my main concerns are "what weapon/shield?", "attack rating?", and "elemental auras?"

Thank you for your time and help.

eOath is a decent weapon but eBotD is still the best avenger weapon.

my friend was playing with idea of using doom with dual dream combo.

dreams will give you good boost in damage, and have same sinergies. doom gives holy freeze, decent ias/damage and extra - cold resists.

this one is made on private realm:
