FoH pally best PvP build?

I will just post what I THINK is the best PvP pally and what skills stats and things i would go with and i want your guys imput if it is even possible or it might be the next GA zon in cheapness. :lol:

my build
20 Fist of the Heavens
20 Holy Shock
20 Conviction
17-20 Holy Freeze
17-20 Holy Shield
1 Salvation
12 pre-reqs

There is 110 skill points in the game so you cant max holy shield and holy freeze so pick one i suggest maxing holy shield since adding 3 more levels to holyfreeze slows only by 1 more percent and i suggest 1 point to salvation for leveling purposes or incase u need extra resists.

now this is what i think for equiptment

Weapon- 6 socket crystal sword with 6 5/-5 Lightining Facet Die(thats 30% more damage for FoH and -30% in addition to your conviction

Weapon 2- Wizardspike or Hoto

Shield 1 & 2- HoZ with um in it or 5/-5 lightining die facet for extra damage

Helm- shako with jah or ber or Unique diadem (cant think of name) adds more dmg to your FoH and lowers their resists even more put a fact in it for crazy dmg or a jah or ber

Armor- you guessed it Enigma highest def u can find/make but for dueling a sorc i would suggest GA with Jah or Um and maybe shaft for melee classes upgraded of course

belt- arachnids mesh or verdungos cord for damage reduced

Gloves- any fast cast gloves with resists or frosties

Boots-Hands down mermans sprocket this has 65% run/walk(for thoes who cant teleport :lol: ) and over 50% MAGIC ABSORB goodbye hammerdin and bone necro(this doesnt nerf them completely but helps) that or silkweaves or any with run and resists or life

Rings-Soj and raven so u cant be frozen and to free up dex to put elsewhere like to vit also BK if u want more life and dont need the mana up by 25% but raven for sure atleast 1

amulet- Maras if u need resists and seraphs hymm if you dont

this build seems good in my eyes so you think it is??????

and just for gameplay sake does flashing auras still work(swapping aruas ever 3 seconds so u can HF them and conviction them at the same time)

If you like this build say so ill make a guide to it if i get enough people to say they want it.

Flame away.

yes

yes i believe that a foh pally with the right gear is a VERY viable char in pvp dueling, although the correct gear can be expensive the char is well wurth it. a +3 wep with 5 sockets is the best foh wep, fcr really doesnt matter bc of the 1 second cast delay foh has. enigma would be the best armor choice, +3 helm with 2x 5/5 lightning facet (my personal favorite), +30 vit , dex,str,energy depending on your personal preferance, mana and regen isnt really needed bc with 7.8k damage u dont really need any extra fohs on your oponet. well thats my take on foh pally (my personal favorite char) if any other fohrs out there wanna duel me, wisper me at *pallyking32

well, the build is good, no doubt about that for pubby hell dueling; however, its nothing new in my eyes. The holyfreeze is quite questionable, id personally rather invest those points into some charge skills, eitehr fanat or charge. b/c charge can come in handy vs bowazons, and low dr casters, just slap on a highlords and ebotd on switch instead of wiz spike.

Uh yea, ive never seen these mermann's sprockets, so i think dii.net tricked u :p

PC_Rabbit: LoL, yea restrict membership on ppl who make useless posts and spam.

for this build, mobility would definately be a concern, so fcr for teleport would help, its not completely useless.

First of all:

http://forums.rpgforums.net/showthread.php?t=149687

Second:

-Dont get a too high requirement enigma... your a caster... find a well-rounded one
-You dont need arachnids unless you are dying for the fcr for enigma [1 skill isnt worth an entire item]
-50% absorb on boots? do you mean 50 absorb? cause theres a difference
-soj... no. if you want the cbf, do bk + raven

-swapping aruas does Not work like it did in .09... they fixed that.

Personally... I dont like your ideas at all. One sided and just make me go :cheesy:

A six socket facet weapon is completely overkill and is only even Thinkable if you're usual -% isnt enough... even then I say crescent moon > that.

Hmm.... you said you were going to post stats. :yawn:

Edit: btw... were you planning on going without charms? :grrr:

And no. that build is not the best Templar build. I can get even the people who disagree with my templar ideas the most - to agree with me on that one.

Take a look at my current Templar guide... And know that a PvM guide is coming out soon and from what i know an allpurpose one from our very own garbad is coming... So we dont need another guide.

And oh yeah... from that post I get that you havent made one yet. Usually people make the character they make a guide about more than a few times and have completely mastered all aspects of it before they make a guide.

FCR does matter, it will shorten the time you're inmobile while firing FOH.
I'd get a crafted caster amulet, 2+, dex/str and 20% fcr + some resist if it's possible :D
With aracnid, magefist and a 10% fcr ring you'll reach the 75 bp :p

You will be king in pubby duels and will be eaten by every dog and his puppy in good private duels....
Stacking resistance/absorb aren't big deal. From personal exp to dominate in most pubby duels you need have ~6-7k FOH damage and around ~-175% enemy lighting resist or 4-5K FOH with ~-255-270% lighting resist
Most common deffense (in pubby game) normally includes
a) 4 Ptopaz sheild (120 resist lighting)
b) t-gods (20 lighting absorb +10 to max lit resist)
Very few ppl goes above that (aka +2 wisp protectors +Loed Kira's guardian or 3Ort Helm stacking 11lit resist small charms)

PC_Rabbit: LoL, yea restrict membership on ppl who make useless posts and spam.

Well IMO this whole thread is spam. I just think that memebers should have to contribute something, such as a useful guide, to the site before they are alowed to post in certain forums. Why should we allow people to clutter up a forum, with crap such as this "guide", where other people actually put alot of time and work into guides. This thread is a mockery to anyone who has spent the time to develop a new subclass or even write a USEFULL guide on a pre-existing subclass. I guess Ill need to contribute something to this thread besides my opinion. Since it seems your mainly going to be dueling in pubby duels and using BM teleport on Enigma I suggest you reach at the 125% FCR, 9 frame break point, that way you can teleport to your hearts little content all you would like at a decent speed.

It rocks until you find somebody who puts on enough lightning resist + absorb to totally negate your FoH. Oh and if you do make a *pure* FoH'er (strongly suggest a second attack, even if it's only charge with some kinda weapon on switch) make sure you don't go past lvl 25 conviction, the bonusses after that aren't useful (no -resist anymore, just -defense)

First of all, how the heck can you write a guide if you don't have extensive experience using that same char? I thought veterans write guide. Not someone who just read the items description and dream things up.

Secondly, FOHer is old news.

And lastly, you don't have the char cuz Mermans don't exist. So what the hell are you talking about "good bye necro and hammerdins"? Do you even play the game?

How would Famine be good at all?

Famine
+30% Increased Attack Speed
+320-370% Enhanced Damage (varies)
Ignore Target's Defense
Adds 180-200 Magic Damage
Adds 50-200 Fire Damage
Adds 51-250 Lightning Damage
Adds 50-200 Cold Damage
12% Life Stolen Per Hit
Prevent Monster Heal
+10 To Strength

----------------------------------

For Pure FoH that helps nothing.

I agree with you here...

HotO and HoBL are pretty sweet FoH weapons though. :thumbsup:

FCR isn't really a big deal with my experience with a templar variant... and HoBL grants better skills to FoH, so if you have enough resistances, I'd honestly go with HoBL...

I don't really even understand why I'm explaining this on this thread though... it's kind of a lost cause. :lol:

And I'm sure you read the first few lines. "I will just post what I THINK is the best PvP pally and what skills stats and things i would go with and i want your guys imput if it is even possible or it might be the next GA zon in cheapness." I'm sure you also read the fact that this ISN'T a guide, for he specified further down that he would make a better guide if people like this skeleton.
