Not happy with current build

Hello everyone

I decided to go with a liberator build (charge & blessed hammer) for my solo char. Granted, I'm only in act 2 normal using /players 7 and I'm none too happy with the way things are turning out. Charge seems buggy and I don't have the umph for hammers yet (hard to aim). Like I said, I'm not the best player at all.

So, basically relying on my stubborness, I want to go holy bolt with a new char with a few points in sanctuary (to keep the undead a distance away from me). With 65-70 points for this build, I don't know what option I have for the non-undead.

Does anyone have any advice at all to help me out? I know I'll have to join some multi-player games to get through the difficutlies, but I want to end up with my undead killer.

Your mediocre player:

There are a couple options here, all though the cleric type builds are tough. You can load up on crushing blow or CB (crushflange is a rather low end and easy to obtain mace, plus goblin toe will get you 50+% crushing blow).

CB will help you alot on non physical immunes, then you may need one point into vengeance to help with those but will want a higher damage weapon for vengeance to help. Also high elemental damage weapons will help as well, such as baranar's star.

Another route (it will even work with the above suggestions) is to go with a offensive aura like holy shock, to add lightning damage. On this, you do not need a high damage weapon, just something that hits fast (and -% to target defense is great here, as you will hit alot more often).

If you max this one as well, it will be around 90 points, and can be done around level 80ish..

Sorry, the info is not great, as I have never tried a undead killer type of pally..still quite a few builds I want to try before I go this route =P

Thanks for the advice Brutox. I was only thinking in the lines of skills, but going the route of loading up on crushing blow sounds cool. Thanks again.

not a problem, happy to share advice, let us know how it works out, I am curious to see how you do, as I am a pally fanatic (no pun intended), I want to try all the builds possible..just wish I had more free time.

as a quick aside- charge doesn't seem buggy- it is buggy. For some reason, when switching from charge to another attack skill, sometimes your pally will freeze up, which is leathal if there is a large group around you, especially at later levels. The fast 'fix' is to weapon switch, but even that can sometimes be too much of a delay. It's still a usefull skill, but just be aware of the 'hang' bug. It cost me a return to town, because I locked and died with my corpse surrounded by 3 hell lvl boss packs (bad place to start with...)
