Nice char but why sigons shield? I mean I know big armor = big dick and all but lets be serious

Paladins with regular twich/death or sig setup hit 5fpa speed on 4 out of 5 zeal attacks (the first 4) which means you are at a great disadvantage if you consider the following

Barbarian
FBR Frames
0% 7(sigons) < doesn't have the potential to block every zeal hit
9% 6
20% 5(deflecting) < has the potential to block every zeal hit (30%faster block rate on deflection, which sigons does not have

same with kickers, youre gonna have a harder time agaist kickers if you dont have deflecting, they are even faster then zealots in general
An eth/rep 2os deflecting bone shield/gothic shield with some %ed would be insane, and if it had life/dr/mdr it would be simply godmode
otherwise I would still pick up a tanky rare deflecting bone
plus you are opening up an additional jewel slot and perhaps a 2dr/2mdr mod

Also I would cut out the sigon's belt and instead opt for sigon's boots as second piece to maintain the nice glove bonus and ias breakpoint, thus freeing up a beltslot for 5str 40life 5 rep +res/mana belt, which if you break down for a baba it gives 15 stats worth and 5rep + additional stats (%ed on a plated belt would be ultra neat), and no more fire dmg on boots to trigger MDR, plus str glitched FRW and you get +50AR from boots bonus

I don't get the fcr mod on the ring as well, suffixes are so important
still 10/10 for the gear, amazing stuff


edit: LMK if you ever sell that chest :)

Some good points I suppose. I'm waiting for a Ring with same mods but +3min damage instead of fcr. Just haven't found 1.
Going on, you forget the massive life you get from stats on CK boots. It's more than a rare belt and shield with extra slot. mdr bug isn't usually a big issue at lvl 18. Also no need to bug frw from boots on a melee char. also rare deflecting shield requires more dex for max block. You are assuming a zealor is landing consecutive hits when that usually is not the case. The only zealots I lose too use clegs sword with the 50% AR bonus to get around def and even then it's a 60/40 split in their favor at worst. Other zealots miss too much to take into account fbr. This setup is my most consistent after a few years of using this char.
Thank you for the critique. I do appreciate it as it helps to improve builds.

I don't think you know how block works, or Concentrate

as you can see, you will have to rely on your faster block rate for the potential second third and fourth hit, the first zeal attack does not require faster block rate to block and neither does the last because it is much slower

42ias total 5/5/5/5/10 <frames 4.16 atks per second < regular twitch death clegs pala


basically a well geared zealot goes past your defense 1 time out of 3 (32 close to 33.33333)

It will be useful to have faster block rate for 3/5 (60%) of the paladin's attacks in theory but he will only go past your armor 1/3 of the time

If i understand correctly it will still help you block the paladin's attacks with ~20% better efficiency, plus you get the additional jewel from the shield
and yeah alright but it is arguable that 15stats +5rep +high def worth on a rare plated belt + sig gloves+boots would be superior to sig glove/belt/shied+ ck..

basically you trade
1 all skill 20dex and 20life (25 stat worth)+ a bit of extra armor (depending on rare shield/rare belt on opposite)
VS
15stat worth +5rep(belt) +50Ar(sig boots bonus) + rare shield mods (2dr/2mdr/10life/ethrep) + 1 jewel (up to 4mods) worth of stats + 20% block efficiency xD
