Pker suggestions

I have a charge pker, but it isnt fun anymore, its simply too easy, i want to know if there is a decent pk build that would follow these guidelines
-doesnt require any wrath type jewels(+damage)
-doesnt require exsecive(sp?) life charms

-level 9-18
-gear with pgems/runes or simple unique/sets
-can kill something besides a sorceress
I already tried a lvl 12 dual throw barb and a lvl 15 Merc/summon amp damage necro and a 15 raven/dog druid with little success, only killing level 12-20 sorceresses :( Im begginning to think to kill other than sorceresses i might have to do massive cow/flayer runs to look for wrath jewels.
I was thinking possibly a Paladin, level 15, lvl 12 defiance, level 5 holy bolt, 80 strength(20 str from charms, 4 socket ethereal sacred armor, packed with f-rubyies. 3 socket ethereal crown thingy, with 3 f rubies, max block(dexterity achieved from dex charms) BSoD with 2 famythyst(extra defense). He couldnt do damage himself, but he has a act 2 mercenary with a ethereal malice pike, or vicious? pike of carnage?. Mercenary wears mask/crown with 3 f amythysts (to achieve strength for sacred armor, and a ethereal sacred armor with 4 p ruby. Strategy is paladin and merc have over 900-1300 defence each, pally has max block. Pally uses holy bolt ot keep merc alive. Neither one is hit easilly, and merc does all the damage. Possible?
Just a thought, any other ideas from you guys

PS yes i have ready the pk forum, everything cept charger seems to need wrath jewels, or is over level 18

Oh oh oh, i know, its perfect..no one would suspect...a level......16 fire pally.....6 socket military pick F-rubies, 3 socket armor 3 Fdiamond, 3 socket mask 3 Fdiamond...2 sock G?BSoD, 10 norm resists, 2 Fdiaomonds, random boots with 10-20 fr/w, heavy belt with life/resists, 2 ring 70-100 AR, amulet plus mana, gloves random somethign.

Level 10 holy fire, level 4 zeal, 2-3 extra? dont need sacrifice...not phys damage... would that get somethign besides sorcies?
2-3 skills go to fire resist

That could prove quite interesting....Or you could do the same set up but with 6 socket military pick with 6 perfect emeralds? Hmmmm. :scratch: But this is if you want to duel with the character mostly.

How much time you pk, Red?
Only problem you have in pking is cacthing someone before they exit
no need to hide your build, because every mh user will guess you are pvp by your better items
No need to defend as nobody will attack you. Sometimes you meet a pkk, but guess it by his lvl, class, visible items and behavior (staying in town or near sewers exit). Might use BSoD on switch and test dmg of suspected pkkers
And finally, dont count on weird builds. I tested some and they generally suck

since i can only play at my mothers house, and i am at my fathers, i have a week to plan
Level 16 Pyrot (Pyro+Zealot hehe)

RULES
-No cheats/hacks/exploiting of any sort, that includes maphack, drophack, tppk, etc
-No Jewels
-Reason for level 16 is its not usual...most expect 15 or 18 charger, no one has a level 16 "branded" into their skull....yet

SKILLS
-10 Fire Aura
-4 Fire Resist Aura
-4 Zeal
Simple, just needs 2 skill points from den and sewers, and voila.

STATUS POINT PLACEMENT
-45 Strength
-?? Dexterity, unknown needed for max block at level 16 with a BSoD
-Rest Vitality
-Base Energy

EQUIPMENT
-6 Socket Military Pick with 6 flawless rubies
-3 Socket Breast Plate with 3 flawless diamonds
-3 Socket Mask with 2 flawless diamond, 1 flawless amythyst
-Boots with fr/w, possibly Sigons, if charms are used to raise Strength
-Gloves with faster attack, possibly Sigons, if charms are used to raise Strength
-Bone Shield of Deflecting with 2 flawless diamonds
-Possiblly a Aerin Shield of Deflecting with Fine or Rainbow innate bonus, with up to 4 sockets, with flawless diamonds for max resists
-Belt with plus life/mana, possibly Sigons for set bonus and other stuff
-Rings with 61-80 AR bonus, maybe plus mana
-Amulet with 61-80 AR bonus, maybe plus mana
-Any charm that fits, use it, must have some type of cold damage charm look for AR charms, they are all over. Poison, elemental, max damage, it all helps, even the crappiest charm can save your life
-Good Charms to Look For
-Lizard's small/large charm mana lets you zeal longer
-Bronze small/large/grand AR always helps
-small of Life if you find one of these consider yourself lucky
-small of Frost/Flame/Shock/Blight elemental damage, always helpful
-small/large with bonus to STR or DEX
-large with FHR

MERCENARY
-Completly Optional
-I would go for act 2 blessed aim, or act 3 Ice/Fire
-give him flawless rubies all over. if Act 3, give him BSoD with eld/eld for max block? can mercenary block?

SUGGESTIONS
-Suggestions, constructive criticism, destructive criticism, its all welcome
-Dont suggest jewels or high end charms, i dont use them.

someone sees a level 16 with fire resist and fire aura, they dont think pk, and when they look at pdiamonds and sigons, they think, instant noob. That is the idea behidn this, my estimate is between 30-50 pvp damage, with zeal, and 700-900+ AR, max resist and block, while seemingly noob. Is there a calculator for fire damage of fire aura?

yes, d2 is all about planning builds, making them, testing, losing interest and making new ones... I guess its like drugs, always trying to get initial pleausre and never succeding in that.
So if you plan to make the pally and test him, its fun. If you plan to actually pk someone with him, I have to dissapoint you
Logic is simple - you can kill a pvmer with EVERY build, giving ENOUGH time. In pk you wont have this time. Fastest killing build wins, thats why they make chargers. If you have enough time to run to someone and hit him, no need to use to use any other than charger or another strong build.
Eventually you see its better to surprise people with level than unusual build, They wont appreciate your effort , most likely they wont even see your build
I dont wont you to change your mind, just clarifying the fact there are fun builds and effective builds. Former are better in softcore duels than in HC pking

Mert1 i do understand your point, and your style of pking, but i dont like the 1 hit ko pk, or the hostile run in sewers charge pk.
I like the kind where they mock you, actually want to fight back, or dont even feel threatened, and yet you still win, and you get to mock them for being imbisules(sp?).

looks fine, but if they are pvm they wont duel any supposedly pvp build however weak it would seem and exit immediately. If they are pvp, they kill you

Best suprise build I seen is a merc necro, didnt you like him? And he kills pks, which is much more fun

I wasnt trying to say your build suxx and charger owns you, etc. Pity you understood it that way.
I made several unusual builds (elemental dmg ama, inferno sorc, etc) and shared my experience
Post here about your success with zealot
