Well this is my build for those who are loving pala's, but hate the fact that if u wanna pvm nicely its got to be a hammerdin. But hammerdins are soooooooo boring.......
So i decided to make a teleporting dream zealer, it isnt cheap but a heck of a lot more fun to play than a hammer. This is pure and alone a pvm char. (in p1 it will kill baal in under 5 seconds!!)

Why?
Cause of the facts.
In the configuration i have build it this char will reach:

10 k zeal dmg
life tap almost all the time
85% crushing blow!
15% deadly strike
5/5/5/5/9 attack (4.31 attacks / sec)
12 frame fcr (enough for pvm purpose)
frame 5 (48%) fhr (its pvm so 48 bp is enough)
fade (resis + dr)
2.5 + k life with bo
resis without fade: 75/50+/75+/50+
with fade: 75/75/85/75
able to go anywhere in the game
kill second wave in throne with eaz (unlike hdins)
will take down each normal boss (in hell ofc, but havent tested ubers yet) in under 5 seconds
will take a long time to kill: light immune + physical immune + stone skin (if they remain light immune after conviction)

the stats:
str: enough to weap equip
dex: about 110-130 ( mine is currently at 125, this is not for mb, we are a zealer so we wont be blocking much^^, this to make sure ur dmg hits)
energy: nothink
vita: all the rest

the skills:
20 zeal
20 sacrifice
20 resist lightning
20 fanatiscm
rest in holy shield and or salvation (id recommend hs cause u will do enough dmg, anyway always take at least 1 point in holy shield)

now the equip
weapon: last wish ba (get one with high crushing blow)
helm: dream (ur choice which skin)
shield: 45@ base dream pala shield
important note: make sure u get 48 fhr total out of the dreams, if not than add 5fhr sc till u reach the 48 bp (with crap dreams this means u need max 2 x 5 fhr sc)
armor: eni
gloves: Laying of hands (50 fire res + 350 ed vs demons)(nn draculs cause we need the ias from loh and get lifetap via lw)
belt: nos coil (we need the life steal incase lifetap doesnt trigger and we need the 10 ias to reach ias bp)
ring 1: raven (dex + ar + cbf)
ring 2: this is the hard one. Best would be: 10 fcr - 1xx ar - lifesteal - mana steal (mine atm = 10 fcr, 114 ar, 6 ll, 5 ml + adds)
amu: metalgrid (yes we need it for the ar and resis, hl might give +1 skill and ds, but with 85 cb, ds isnt really that important anymore).
boots: gores ( we need the cb to get 85% and the ds is a nice add, also we could use goblin toes to get to 95% cb but i like the gores more in this case)
switch: cta + pala spirit -> if we tele we do that on switch since the switch will give us an ok fcr bp.
inventory: torch + anni...... thats it, u could add some 5@ sc or 5fhr sc if u feel u need to but its not necessary
which means that after u put a tome of portal + tome of identify + anni + torch u will have some nice room to pick up things (this is afterall pvm)

merc:
eth forti
eth infinity (this will help with chance to hit as well as let ur 7k+ light dmg pown really hard :D)
andy face OR gskull (cause we often have life tap the merc isnt required to use andy)

and most important of all: have fun :D

Looks very good, but boring layout to be honest :P

Few points though:
You forgot to state wich merc, but on the other hand that's pretty obvious.
I would go for max block all the way. Even it is pvm.. This means you need more points in dex, wich gives you more ar aswell
Inventory I would use ar/lifers for extra ar. (not much, maybe 2 rows orso)

Also you can run conviction by yourself, and use reapers toll on merc (with gface and fort/treachary), but then you will need grief pb as weapon, wich makes metalgrid useless, so we can use highlords here (deadly strike is very nice ^^)

You can vary a lot with this char.

I would have point out more possibilities perhaps, more item choices, other skill set etc etc.

e; I would max Salvation aswell, extra dmg B)
1 holy shield is enough in pvm imo

Also on europe Bugbelt is a lot better then nosfaratu's, unperm they're cheap, but again.. so much better

last wish kinda useless when ur merc adds might aura anyway.

with more dealdy strike u dotn need crushing blow, deadly strike allways > crushing blow

this, you dont really need ar as conviction gives -def (and grief has itd). dual leech ring with the laek from eni is enough, you can use arach instead

merc is ofc holy freeze merc.....
will add a lot of value to pvm.....
also cb > ds in pvm on this build:
double dmg is only counted towards the pyshical dmg. as we use dual dream synergized at 7k dmg, this means our physical dmg is quite low. (around 3 k)
even with 100 ds this would max become 6 k......
therefore having 85 cb wrecks bosses totally, this is what makes that u can kill baal in p1 under 5 seconds even with only ~3 k phiysical dmg
also lw gives a higher chance of life tap then draculs.... and leaves room to use loh (best pvm gloves) without sacrifising ias... fade is ofc a really nice pvm add...
and lw also has itd.... so the advantage of grief over lw would only be its ias bp...... but we catch that with fana aura

Might merc with grief wep >> freeze merc with lash wish.

Both will work ofcourse.

E; the phys dmg from grief is soo much higher, also more ias.

I'd swap out the LW for a Grief PB as ppl mentioned. I don't really think you need the lifetap from LW, unless you're going to do Ubers. Kewl and fun build

Ty people for ur response.
I know people like grief, but in this case i really found out that altough u reach a higher ias bp with grief, there are times when lifetap and fade are way better of having then some more dmg. Also it awesome to have life tap proc immediately on the moment u tele into a large pack of enemies with ur merc, and both come out of it just fine....
When fade active u can even tele right into amp fana doom knight and death lords without ever being concerned about dying^^
