What did you mean by "puloral"? I don't know any words this could be a typo for (Google suggested nothing and returned a single highly dubious result), but English is not my native language, so I'm looking to expand my vocabulary. "Adhorning" is a similar one I couldn't quite put my finger on. The closest I found was "adorning", but it doesn't fit into the context of the sentence.
(I don't mean to be a git, but if you plan on using semi-exotic words, please look them up first.)
As for the guide:
1. You mentioned that 5 points in fade will give you 50% physical resistance. Not true. Each point in Fade at casting time (including +skills) will give you 1%, capped at 50% probably.
2. How tedious did you find always charging up all those skills?
3. What, in your opinion, is more effective: going claw/shield or dual claw?
4. Duriel, Diablo and Baal are without minions. Charging up on those two is a bit scary. And with Mephisto, I prefer to kill the minions before engaging him. Any special tricks in such situations?
5. I tried the following skill layout in the skill planner:
20 to Dragon Flight
20 to Tiger Strike
20 to Phoenix Strike
1 to Cobra Strike
20 to Shadow Master
5 to Fade
5 to Death Sentry
This summed up to 107 skill points, attainable at clvl 96. Without DS it dropped to 98 (clvl 87), which is much more realistic. How important did you find DS? If one decides on Shadow Master, there's a chance she will cast it instead of you, and she will do so at a similar level (if not higher).
All in all, looks like a decent build.
Guide-wise, you could have discussed the pros and cons of mercs (something I always have a difficult time deciding on), more about what to look for on equipment and why. Keep such things in mind with your next guides and you'll do fine. :)
