"Although it seems inconsistent with history, it is believed that the Paladin took its origin some time prior to the advent of the Knight during the 8th century when Charlemagne, the militant ruler formed a group of twelve powerful soldiers that were to protect him from harm and command his troops. They were known as the twelve Paladins of Charlemagne. Among them was one called Roland, who was the most famous and whose death while protecting Charlemagne has been perpetuated in epic poetry."

"The basic principles defining a Paladin are to defend and protect the innocent and uphold the law. These are the known basic doctrines that Paladins abided by as they pursued a virtuous and often all too slim path all through their adventurous lives. They would defend truth and justice against the unending evil approaches."

Hey guys, starting another WT here
Since Crixus is at end game and just running Chaos Sanc. I wanted something else to go back and fourth on and break up the repetition.

Rules will be similiar as before:
Hc of course, i didnt even mention this in my other WT but I havent played Softcore for many years
Classic Walkthrough
Players 8 at all times, until hell diablo is defeated, and then as I see fit
Goal is lvl 85
7k Hammer damage
100% the game (complete every quest)

Something different than my barbs WT:
I am doing a no s/e during combat (only exception is in nightmare mainly act 3 where LR FR gets bugged to do insane amounts of damage, a sure death without BO)
Since this is probably the easiest WT on classic I am adding a little challenge.
Not allowed to use Unique items - until after Hell diablo is killed

I dont think I am going to s/s every quest being completed in normal this go around, seemed alittle excessive since not a lot happens in the first 30 lvls or so of the game, i will just be posting notable things.
Plan for early game, waste 1 point into holy fire, and single attack my way to hammers, so by low-mid 20's i will have a nice conc/hammer lvl and good damage output asap

Meet Roland :

interesting rule to exclude uniques, i wonder when the first one drops that will make you regret the decision.

thanks man! I am hoping so too

Clegaws shield, good for andy at least with 75% RPD




gambled these really nice boots, and a 76 defense scale mail right after

andy was a bitch, even with antidotes, my dmg was super low




not long after.... maggot lair wasnt bad.. found all the stairs pretty quickly

I love finding hsarus early on. Always makes me happy

same!

duriel wasnt bad, just had to keep towning for health pots he did good dmg to me


shield of duriel, nice upgrade


2nd unique going for the brain, wouldve given me nearly max block and nice LR
shopped a 33 fr wand for the inferno assholes they dont hurt as bad now

sucks to miss out on dmg and res, but its only 15 res all


meph was pretty easy, the first act boss that didnt take forever to hammer


this gives me 75,73,75,33 res just entering chaos sanc. so figured i should throw a temp shield together so i can jump right into nightmare

diablo was ez pz firestorm probably hurt the worst..


also wearing a 9 FR 12 mf ammy so 36 mf total for progressing gear, porbably gonna try n gamble some new boots with some mf soon as well


Nice res going into nightmare, should be able to progress into hell pretty easily, my damage is increasing a good bit per lvl, main thing at this point is tanking to do damage
my armor is 24 fhr 14 lr magic, shopped. may need to shop a 24 fhr belt as well to make sure i can always get away from mob packs, i hate using diamond shields because you lose 15/10/30/20 for blocking and also the possibility of FHR
but its still the best option for now
