cateye..
1st of all..
Why do you consider my post an insult?
because I say that theundyinggod did not do a great job and can do many things to improve his/her work?
if one cannot take criticism, one should not try to publish something.
by the way...
I have published work of me in this forum and I have given a lot of input to several guides here.
If you want to see, what I consider a real guide, check the stickies-->Paladin guides-->PvM Fanazealotguide by Ancalagon
or just click this link

I am really looking forward to your feedback.
Just do me one favor, I know that this sounds arrogant but....
do your homework beforre you try to confront me.
I know that even my guide is far from being complete.. I copuld include low level gear, weapons like honor,baezils,cranbeak and so on and so forth but if I take a look at pretty much all other JSP guides, there is none that is as detailed as my one.
I could even republish my Hammerdinguide, which was avialable at the AB for a while but hey.. 7500 words seems a bot too complex for the average JSP kiddy.
@ theundyinggod
1. efficiency does not need very expensive items, I can show you setups for tristram smiters, that cost less while doing more damage and also having full ress, lt,ow,maxspeed and so on and so forth.
2. As I have already stated, there are always different ways to do the job.
f.e. if one plays HC, one will not really want to invest much into a char that is not used very often but one will rather go for a setup which will be successful at a price that does not hurt the player in the case of death.
@ mana
how many purples or blue pots do you wanna spent on mana
how long do you wanna smite without fana?
let`s see
grief and astreons deal more damage than lw,
considering the fact, that one will probably rather use LoH if one does not use draculs, because of the 350 additional off weapon ed (another mistake in your guide) or the fact, that other weapons will need more ias, or the fact that one will probably use salvation versus mephisto and thus not be at maxspeed with a pb (65 ias without fana)
highlords is worth mentioning.
also I could mention, that I stated that one should use a highlord`s, if one still needs ias.
@ amulet choice
a. nothing is as easy as reaching fullress with a paladin
b. 1-10% higher blockchance,2 palaskills, up to :
20 prisma 40% single resistances, 20 dex,60 life,30 str,damred,liferep and so on and so forth.... and you really want to tell me that it takes a lot to outshine a maras?
by the way.....
what kind of answers do you expect from a community like JSP where 90% of the users seem to know as much about the game as a sawfish knows about plaining
then how do you presume to be able to critisise this guide, if you just admit that yours is not perfect.
instead of putting so much energy in proving this is not a good guide why dont you spend your energy to perfect yours.
if you could do that( which i dought) i think we will all be happy to have a good guide at our disposal.
