It's ladder season 23 (Dec 7th, 2018 Start).

I decided to make my first ever low level dueler... a level 18 Paladin.

I started from scratch this ladder, and after rolling a level 92 'PvM' Paladin and then selling off the gear and deleting it, this is where all of my fg and time has gone.

I figured now would be good time to document what this level 18 looks like.



Inventory so far, still trying to get more small charms to get life up to where I want it to be.



Here are all of the javelins and throwing spears I have at this time:



I'm still working on a few things, but I'm satisfied with the overall outcome so far.

Above there are 9x coin, 5x fball, and 2x paw 12ar/15life small charms, if it isn't easy to decipher from the image.

Still ISO a 2os Circlet with %edmg and 31-40 life. If I find a rare with those mods I'll dunk these 4-15 jewels into it. If I am finally able to gamble a Deadly Circlet of the Mammoth with my level 25 LLD gambler, I'll pray for 2 sockets from Larzuk and use them in that. Either way, the Scarlet Jewels of Carnage are on hold until I can find a proper circlet for them.

I use the Viper Nails along with the Fine Grand Charm of Dexterity above if I feel like dex bugging my throwing spears. Cow King boots give too much dex with Twitch to throw invisible spears... so it's a fun option to keep in my stash.



And, here is what he looks like:

Best Level Eighteen Pally I have ever been ownt by. GG Pally Great build. Might just put my 20 in my armor and try and be like Dad

Going to have to remake my collage now that you snagged that 20max Clegs from me. Thanks buddy enjoy that deadly strike!

Pretty much down to the last couple of ISOs on this toon.

I need at least 3 more 12ar/15life SCs to get the inventory where I want it to be.

I cannot wait to upgrade my helm. Will either do a 12-45 damage Superior Crown, or a 2 socket circlet with %ed + life... whichever I find first.

Updated collage of current gear setup:

Welp, it's felt rather impossible to find a suitable circlet to dunk jewels into so I've opted to make this instead:



I'm down to looking for my last 3x small charms and then this toon should be complete.

The most viable options seem to be A and K.

A. Zeal: 244-1639, 2879ar
K. Zeal: 259-1622, 2418ar & Charge: 207-1272, 1922ar

While A does have better AR and higher maximum damage... K offers increased mobility, more minimum damage, and more mana.

Outside of upgrading to a better circlet, jewelry or throwing weapons... I'd say this character is pretty much complete.
