chaos
Gear:
Helm: shako um'd (Ber'd is the better choice should you be able get max resis with the other gear.)
Amulet: Maras OR a Pally amulet with fcr (faster cast rate) all resistances (Strenght and/or dex would be a nice bonus too.) Obviously the second ammy is better but along comes a higher price tag and a loss of 2 skills to your BO (battle Orders).
Armor: Should be self-explanatory but i'll define anyway lol (laughing out loud, LOL if you didnt know this ) +2skills, teleport, Magic find based on character level, Raise max life 5%,8% Dr (damage reduction 8%), damage taken goes to mana (seems useless but hey mana is always welcome here since you don't use a merc that has insight which in turn grants you and your party mediation .)
Belt: Arachs (arachnids mesh) mods speak for themselves +1skill, 20% fcr, and slows enemys down.
Weapon: Hoto (heart of the oak) or a wizard spike if you can't afford a hoto, but honestly i highly recomend buying a cheap 30resis hoto if possible over the wizzy.
Shield: Palladin Pheonix Shield with resis all base. This is one of the MOST important pieces of this build, thus why it's underlined. Let's see why it's so great for this build shall we; 1. Redemption aura so you dont have to bother with switching auras back and fourth and no more merc dieing to Im (iron maiden) YAY! 350-400 defense vs missles may not seem important but when you figure that it makes your max block all that much better cause now you can focus on melle guys first if you wish cause missle shooters will have hell time hitting you w/ max block then factor in the extra def= gg missle shooters lol. Raises max light resis 5% (great for all situations souls, chaos, etc.) 10max fire resis (gg for chaos runs and for anyhting else DUH!) Absorbs fire damage 15-21 (again gg for chaos runs, eat fire like candy!) All around great shield imo (in my opinion).
Gloves: Honesly this is a very versatile peice of gear on this build, you have plenty options here. Mages for fcr (faster cast rate), Bloodfists for life and fhr(faster hit recovery), Chance Guards for mf and gf (magic find and gold find), or a pair of rare gloves with some sort of this combination resis/str/dex/life/mf.
Ring#1: BK (Bul-Kathos wedding Band) gives +1skill and life = the hot sex for this build.
Ring#2: BK again cause its sexy.
Ring Secondary Options: Ravens (Dex, mana, and cold sorb if you want to get the last elemtn sorbed ) Dwarf Stars (If you really wanna be a as and eat fire like you are a fat kid at Mcdonald's plus it gives life always sexxii) or a fcr ring with dex/resis/str/life ( the basics you know)
Boots: Ok now my prefrence here is Tri resis boots with fhr/dex/frw (faster run walk) and mf%, but if you cant afford somthing like this or just don't like this as your boots then use waterwalks (dex, life, max fire resis) all around sexy boots for hdin ( hammerdin in case you did'nt know this term ).
Switch: Any bo flail/cs (crystal sword) will do if your budget deprived, but as always the higher you can afford the better and ANY palladin spirit will do just fine.
Inventory: Any paladin torch and anni (annihulus) will do if your budget will not allow BUT try to upgrade when your funds allow. Get a decent Gheeds charm.
Now the rest of your inventory is personal preference, if you want pcombs (palladin combat skill grand charms) then get them, i don't use them cause they take up room and are useless for this build imo, and mf scs (magic find small charms) are always a decent bonus to have but not required. Lifer scs or resis scs are also welcome in the build if you prefer, BUT keep some room to pick up goodies that drop.
