With my obligatory MF Sorc up and running for my 4th or 5th restart in D2, now I get to make some fun characters:)The first thing that caught my interest was a tanking Zealadin. I think I have a general idea of what to do but extra input is always appreciated. I want to concentrate on damage absorption more than damage output.
Build:
20 Holy Shield
20 Defiance
20 Fanat
20 Zeal
Remaining points in Sacrifice or spread around the aura trees
Stats:
Really not sure here. I'd need an idea of what gear I'll have for how much Strength to get and then enough Dexterity to be able to hit stuff and the rest in Vitality. Definitely need some input on this one.
Gear:
I don't have too much since I just started up but with my Sorc chewing up Hell Meph, most uniques are available given enough time. I have a Shaftstop, a Vampiric Gaze and a Bloodmoon as of right now that really say "Paladin!" to me. Runes are iffy at best, not myself or anyone I'm playing with can Hell rush yet so Forge runs aren't an option.
I'm planning on this being the character I take to 99 with the friends I'm playing with. Therefore, he's going to be spending a lot of time in the Chaos Sanctuary (it is better than Hell Baal for experience, isn't it?). I thought about making a Smiter but that really seems like a 1 point wonder once I get some +skills on.
