Can someone point me to a Defensive Paladin Build?

If one exists. Otherwise it would be nice with some answers.
Max Defiance
Max Holy Shield
Then what?
Which items, skills, mercenary etc would you choose if you HAD too use those two skills?

There should be a build called a defiant in the paladin forum. I will see if I can locate it for you.

Edit: I found 2 threads that may help

I'd definately go with max Zeal with high CB - maybe a Kingslayer phase blade and Guillame's and Goreriders. Socket your gear with some ED jewels possibly, and use a might mercenary (your defiance aura should keep him alive). You'll get your huge defense and safety, and it'll be sorta like a typical zealadin in damage type. Consider using max damage charms if you go with a might mercenary - it'll sorta be like your phase blade does higher damage.

Or you can go with the Defiant smiter, which I enjoyed more then any of my other pallys.. max holy shield, defiance, smite then the rest where ever you like (I went with resistance to get a high max resist..stupid gloams).

I think a smiter would probably do very well as a defensive paladin.

I would also use Guardian Angel if you can and put some points into the resists for 95% resistances. Add a bit of absorb and -Magic damage, and that would compliment your defensive build very nicely.

Also go for 50% PDR. That would be one heck of a tanking build.
