So you are a paladin and you have trouble with resist?
You know there are special paladin shields in D2X and they come with up to 4 sockets and build in magical mods, without being actually magical (blue)! Pala shields with +4-9 to resist all and 3-4 sockets to put some chipped gems in can be found all the way from act1!
If you use a 2h weapon, its always a good idea to have such a shield and 1h weapon on your weapon swich. Just in case you come across such places as the chaos sanctuary ;)
and gems drop a LOT nowadays (they are worth something becouse their demand is even higher!)
What you need in chaos sanc and RoF is fire resist and cold resist, becouse knigts don't use lightning and poisen can be countered with potions and other replinish life sources. Going for only those 2 resist shouldn't be to hard!? The least you could do is kill andy a couple of times to get some normal gems. (she always drops one)
Gems are the Elite twinking gear for the legit player.
And what do you mean with horrid eq? Compared to the end game uber eq some of your old chars used to have? or some of the uber twinked chars that wander the realms?
That's not a good comparison!
I often play my chars through normal untwinked, never have to much trouble. If your gear is horrid even by my standards you are not playing right, or just plain unlucky all of the time.
Pick up items, ID them, and if you don't need them, sell them. Then use the gold to gamble.
MF and even Gold Find can do wonders.
I can imagine you forget to do this if you are used to playing twinked chars.
You don't need any resist exept for fire against diablo. Becouse you can manually dodge all his attacks exept for his fire nova, but that doesn't do much dmg in the first place. So use all the MF gear you can get your hands on, and some fire resist, let your holy shock hit hem while you run around him or zigzag.
(don't fight him on the pentagon, but lure him off.)
hope this was helpfull!
good luck! B)
