Paladin charge skill and defense

I know that while you're running, your defense goes to 0 for all intents and purposes, what about when you're charging? Defense not present there too?

Just curious,

P.S.: What's a good sword for Act3 merc? I can't seem to find any very good 'caster' swords... was thinking of finding one with lotsa sockets and then putting useful caster runes in it...

i don't know about caster swords , but maybe an ali baba for the mf?

 

[TrenShadow]

Hexfire if a fire A3 merc. Culwen's Point is good for the rest.

Another good sword would be six socketed sword with rainbow facets attuned to the specific element owned by the iron wolf mercenary. The bad part about it, is that it is expensive.

Charging is not the same as running, even though you go even faster. It's an attack, so defense and block chance are not reduced.

Heh Tekka, I would love to do that, but I've never SEEN a rainbow facet, much less own 6. My highest current char is a lvl71 CL/FO sorcy, who is idling in act 5 nm at the moment, and I've pretty much relegated her to NM Mephy runs for the time being.

Thanks for the answer RTB!

Cheapest alternative would be a normal six-socket sword with useful jewels. Basically, +life and resists. That with a guardian angel or other armours would give him 80-90%resist all. Rainbow facets are the expensive versions for that.

Hexfire is a good sword for the fire merc. The more expensive version would be a Hand of Justice runeword sword for its -35% to fire resistance.
