Melee HC build

[bigeyedbug]

Paladins and Sorcs are out--as far as I'm concerned--because they have no crowd-control skills.  Tankazons and Wolves are questionable.  But anything is possible if you're not soloing.

Have you ever played a paladin before? IMO, they have the best crowd control at low-level ever: ZEAL

You've got me there. That's what I get for trying to be Mr. Smartypants about Paladins: a subject of which I am mostly ignorant, and sadly bereft of personal experience.

My apologies, sir.

However...I think it's a bit of a stretch to call Zeal crowd control. Maybe it's such a kickass skill that Pallys don't even need crowd control...i.e. you push your button once and the crowds GONE! Wow! I'm gonna have to play one of these guys!

I did forget completely about Holy Freeze. Also Conversion. :unsure:

A serious question: How does a HC semi-untwinked Paladin go about soloing Hell in 1.1? I've got an untwinked Assassin in Act V, and there's no way she'd have made it without Mind Blast and CoS. I mean, to Zeal archers you've got to get to them right? In a lot of ways I think Assassins and Paladins are similar: Versatile, fast, but not super durable. The Paladin just seems to lack an equivalent to those two skills.
