Armor: Fortitude, chilling armor does wonders in both defence and it just plain looks cool with the other two auras and two warcries going:) ).

Dont be fooled by werewolf and their fury, zeal is the way to go.

This aura is helpful as it slows enemies down considerably, and allows you to use zeal without getting interupted.

The next skills you need to max out are resist cold, salvation, and sacrifice as these are synergies that will give passive bonuses to zeal and holy freeze.

You do not need alot of mana because the only combat skill you realy use is zeal, and zeal wastes hardly any mana at all.

Hoto (Wiz if you have to) CTA (any lvl bo will do) Hoz either umd, pdiamond, or zodd if Eth for rings, I use a BK and 15 str 10 fcr ring, it is really up to you (soj and bk is good combo) for a ammy you want maras ofcourse magefist for gloves.

Get treks or Travs for boots (you will need the to str to glitch your gear on) I have roughly 170 mf at level 90 and I am at 4.1k hp.

For a merc, If you are too lazy to level an a2 defensive (Holy Freeze is what I suggest) Use a a2 Hell (Defiance) for His gear get or make an eth fort, get a eth insight, and use an andy helm.

This will make your merc a tank and You will not neet to put into mana.

Also be sure to get a Anni (Stats dont matter anything will help).

Thorns returns 1010 of damage so the enemies accully kill them selves.

Where Vampgaze for damage reduce, same with storm shield for more block ratedamage reduce.

Where Templer coat for block rate, not shafts because damage reduce limits at 50.

Note: This IS possible because at lvl 99 with all the skill quests completed you get 110 skill points, add it up.

Also, get that one into salvation right at lvl 30 to take care of element-based monsters.

Dont get hung up on jamming ist and topazs into everything u wear, thats what ur mf sorc is for Set zeal as ur primary mouse click and use ur auras on the other side.

Get all the combat and offensive GCs u want and have fun:) zzHELLRAIDERzz Level 89 zealot.

I decided to build a paladin, with three main charasteristics: 1.

FUN, I wanted him to be different then others, and catch a lot of attention.

Effective. I wanted a character who could do the whole game in all difficulties.

I wanted him to look cool(unlike hammerdins which Im just sick and tired of seeing) I also wanted it to be mysterious and unique.

You look at a paladin these days and you immediatly think hoto, enigma, hoz, sojs, archnid.(you get the picture).

Reading stats of all the rune words over and over and planning it out with resistances damage etc.

I decided that the way to make him fun would be lots of different attacks going off at the same time.

As I progressed my planning that I could accomplish the flare by shoving lots of different to cast some attack from other char type.

With this I present you funRUSOfun:) NOTE: The gear is VERY expensive.

In fact the weapon is worth most if not all of an averege hammerdins gear.
