The Numbers your Posting King Turtle are right in the Zone. I used coh myself for the skills and res as I couldnt risk the Ormus here on hc mode to the occasional deeds that would probably happen from running a marginal res setup. I will say that fast and frequent use of skill changes with your hotkeys play a large part of the effectiveness of this pally.

Charms to a large extent are a personal taste. What I would say is is this:

Character goals. Hit the 48fhr breakpoint. Have Max res. Whatever is left for charms space I'd prob suggest using some combo of life and random elemental damage charms.
I'd avoid using sharp/fine charms as you wont need the Ar , and I'd aim to keep your physical damage low so that you can still zeal while im'd without taking excessive damage.

Thanks for the post.

Yes... Charms are personal taste and reaching the breakpoints are essential...
Let us look at the charms that help you reach your breakpoints:
... 5% Faster Hit Recovery... (Suffix)... now let us take a look at some "Prefixes" that could be used:

Survival:
Stalwart: +20-30 Defense
Shimmering: +3-5% All Res
Sapphire: +10-11 Cold Res
Ruby: +10-11 Fire Res
Amber: +10-11 Light Res
Emerald: +10-11 Poison Res

Physical Damage/AR:
Steel: +25-35 Attack Rating
Fine: +1-3 max dmg / +10-20 Attack Rating

Elemental Damage:
Boreal +5-7 Minimum and +9-14 Maximum Cold Damage - 1 Second Duration
Hibernal +8-10 Minimum and +15-20 Maximum Cold Damage - 1 Second Duration
Smoking +4-9 Minimum and +11-19 Maximum Fire Damage
Flaming +10-19 Minimum and +20-29 Maximum Fire Damage
Arcing +1 Minimum and +25-43 Maximum Lightning Damage
Shocking +1 Minimum and +44-71 Maximum Lightning Damage
Toxic +100 Poison Damage Over 5 Seconds
Pestilent +175 Poison Damage Over 6 Seconds

Now the above is only looking at the charms that YOU have to collect and place in your inventory.

I notice that you walk around and zeal quite a bit... and you have your conviction aura on all the time.
So... elemental damaging charms in your inventory can be extremelly helpful... well besides the poison damage ones

When one looks at adding Life small charms (which is a Suffix)... you can look to the above to also enhance your character build.

I love Zeal/Conviction Builds (which is different from your build... that I know)
I have noticed that your inventory significantly helps these type of builds killing faster.
My best build out of 5... is my Zeal/Conviction/Bow build... especially with an Enchanter in the group.

That's the spirit. It's a fun walk thru and just fragile enough to keep your gaming interesting without crossing the "overpowered line"

It's always excited to see threads you liked a while back, then put on the back burner, only to reappear again ^^
Question though-- does the weapon type matter? i.e. a warscepter verse a caddy?
