Hello everyone

after the tragic loss of my dear druid Wendigo (https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=106262980&f=161), I am once again going for a /p8 hardcore holy grail. As you have decided in my poll, it will be a paladin this time
As stated in the poll, I will play him as an aura paladin – I am not entirely bound to this build, though, so when I feel like trying some other build (also depending on the items that I find), I will do so


My rules and goals are:
- Hardcore SSF
- beat hell mode
- always /players 8 (including reruns, countess and ubers)
- For storing items/stuff that I use, I am only allowed to use the 4 pages in my stash – I want to save the grail items, but once I give grail items to mules, those items can't be given back to the paladin
- find Herald of Zakarum

My endgame goals are:
- reach lvl 99
- beat ubers on p8
- build aura items like Dream or Dragon
- finish holy grail (at least I will track all items that I find along the way).

Wish me luck!

And here we go again




Holy fire! Already feeling pretty overpowered

The ususal ...



Done.



Raven dead.

Here we go, 1/512



Waypoint was right next to Rakanishu, so I ran him a few times.



Cain saved.

First countess kill. I ran her a few times.



First stealth.



Sweet! Using this.

A lot of early set items.



Wow, huge charm! I think I will keep this one for a while!



I made Charsi happy.

Set items keep coming. This one is especially useful against Andariel and her poison spray



There she is – pretty quick and easy fight due to her fire vulnerability.

+1 skill.



First unique of the run. Maybe useful for fighting bosses due to the cb?!



Cube.

I made use of the the Ral runes I farmed from countess earlier. I feel pretty overpowered at the moment.



I gambled these neat boots



Staff.

Amulet.



Another set items.



Duriel – I had to tp a few times and revive my merc and also use some rejuv pots.

Good luck. Ubers on p8 sounds pretty crazy but with a pally its gonna be possible. That crushflange will help a ton vs bosses!
