i dont like the build
you have very few flexibility, low fcr and low fhr in your main setup
imo it wouldn't work in 1v1 and i highly doubt it works on a high lvl pvp as well

at least when i played back in the days i always found having high mobility and flexibility important

i'd rather have ~4.4k life, max block with spirit/exile setup and good desynch(vigor) than having high stats

anyway this is my last post towards your guide because i dont want to get warned, pm me if you want more details (dunno if it's allowed to post negative comments on your guide, sorry in that case)

your guide writing skills: 9/10, good layout
your build itself: i rate it 3/10, sorry

why wouldn't it work in 1v1? he has alternative gear switches which makes 1v1ing better.. imo if anything, it might not be viable in TvT, since there is less flexibility, in your words.. and negative criticism is not a bid deal.. flaming is what everyone would like to avoid.. and by the way, East GM dueling prohibits using exile on smiters, because of the ctc lifetap.. and being a V/T, desynch charge would most likely be a getaway/catching-up-to-fast chars skill rather than one that is used frequently..

P.S: you have a very decent way of making your criticism, pointing out the facts rather than senseless flaming.. imo, this kind of criticism makes more impact than retarded flame posts..

1) yea i agree with ash that your criticism is fine. however, perhaps the way you duel is different from the way i duel.
2) as stated in my guide i can pretty much kill everything thats not a godly assassin (no smiter build can) and perhaps a super good necro (which no smiter build can). everything else is fair game.
3) i have multiple setups for all match up and occasions so i do quite well.
4) did you actually look at the guide or only the gear i had on my standard setup before making your judgements because it looks like u just glanced over and judged it.
5) ps. exile is bm other than team dueling and i use spirit vs a lot of things lol:

sorcs/necs/druid/sins/hdins = spirit
barbs/pallies (not hdins)/zon = zak
pubbing/teams = exile

anything else you want to point out? because i honestly dont have a problem with much in 1v1 and the level of pvp i compete at is quite high. no meaning to brag or anything but i used to hold:
#1 world ladder = d2jsp, d2gm
#1 sin v sin = d2jsp, d2gm, ezpk, postabout, d2duel
#1 druid v druid = d2jsp
#1 nec v nec = d2gm, d2pk
#1 vt vs vt = d2gm

My Actual Vindicator/Templar's Gear and Stats can be found in this Trophy Room Thead:

**NOTE**
1) Some of the gear I use and the gear in the guide may differ slightly in stats.
2) That is because when i made this guide, i used all 100% perfect items to show that the "best possibilities" were.
3) My own paladin does not have all 100% perfect stuff but the mods that do count are perfect (ex: like my spirit would be 35fcr and 45 res all, but the mana would not be perf)
