I am new and trying my first p8 hc wt for myself using a paladin.

I am at the end of act 2 but cant kill duriel yet. Need to find some better gear.

I've been doing andy runs and it is working out for me found a few set pieces, but am i missing any other good spots? I've never had to do mf runs in norm haha

Thanks in advance for any help!

steel or malice runeword. run countess for some ral runes, upgrade to ort and make and ancients pledge shield. max holy fire and use it with zeal. you can use an axe or sword with 3 ral runes to gain massive fire dmg
it should be no biggie to kill duriel

Yeah they boost res by 50 and max res by 10 for a time, good to use in a tight spot.

It's all goooood, been playing a number of years myself & there's plenty of stuff I still don't know! I only just recently learned about the bug with element-enchanted unique monsters on nightmare. Right after getting a hardcore character killed by it 😂
