Charge!

i was lucky a few weeks ago and found a 5 sox eth runemaster with 263 ed, and reading through these pages i see suggestions of 2x eth 2x Lo 1 x zod , which is surely a bad option when an edeath ettin surely works alot better and has alot more dmg, also dont forget that cb works a treat in pvp helping u get that 1 hit kill vs high life chars.

Yes. I made the runemaster cause I play NL. eDeaths not common there. I also have grief HoZ setup and the eBotdGPA. Runemaster good for sorcs, sins, grief+hoz amas other chargers (smite), ebotd hammers... Only near impossibles windys (always targeting the pets first) and ww barbs (gotta time the hit just right).

I know this is an old thread. But is this build good for single player?

if not, where can I find a good build for my paladin?

this is a PvP build, not PvM (which is what I assume you play since you're single player). Don't build this, its certainly viable with the right gear but it will be very difficult for a new player

SP doesnt mean you cant play with others. we pvp too!

I know, but from the way he worded this post (since the guide is clearly for PvP) I figure he means not playing with others... after all that's sort of what single player means, even though on the forums it just means not on Bnet

you can get through SP with this build, but it's far, far from ideal.

this is one of the reasons i actually like teh glacial spike proc on the Death runeword, it provides some well needed crowd control.

don't forget your one-point Vengeance for dealing with Phys Immunes.

so long as you can still pick up your entire body/gearset with one click, go wild on the str bugging.

if you need to click your corpse twice to pick everything up, you're going to get into trouble one day.

finally, how does phoenix (shield) work for a charger, is the dmg negliable or better using a highblock option like zaka with eld or 40 ed jewel.

imho: phoenix is a terribad shield option. you run into the "ocean of off-wep %ED" issue that Titan built chargers run into. that 300% extra off weapon %ED is lost in the skill based %ed from charge + synergies. much better to up your base weapon damage than give up yet another gearslot for yet more off-wep %ed.

if you're going the wep/shield route, i'd strongly suggest you build a PvP Grief/HoZ smiter and give him a strong minor in Charge (max Smite, Holy Shield, Fanat, Charge + one synergy, spares to another synergy. if you have the IAS sorted, maybe ditch Fanat altogether and use Might as your main aura. should be doable with a phase + highlords + bloodfists)

Do you guys think that keeping 1 poison charm and a 10% open wounds belt is benefitial for a charger? Or perhaps 1 +3max damage ar charm is simply better?

[mephiztophelez]

nope on both the OW belt and the PDSC.

gogo the extra AR and damage.

the simple reason being: there's almost no character out there that can survive more than two hits from a capped out charger, unless the charger lucks out with min damage rolls on both. so the meagre poison or OW damage really doesn't do a hell of a lot, especially if you have the opponent chargelocked.

that said, if you have an OW belt with nice FHR, life, stats and other mods, go wild!
