Some more crushing blow would probably help. I've soloed tristram 4-5 times with this build:

20 Fanaticism
20 Zeal
20 Holy Shield
20 Defiance
2 Sacrifice

At level 81. I only have the 1 point in smite, however, I chose to max defiance and start working on sacrifice before I found out the character screen is bugged and doesn't show the true damage... If i'd been able to see my real damage I probably would have maxed smite then started on defience.

Equipment:
"Grief" Phase Blade
"Duress" Wyrmhide
HoZ (Diamond)
Guillame's Face (Um)
Raven Frost
Dwarf Star
Gorerider
Dracul's
Credendum
Highlord's Wrath

With a lifetap wand/resist shield on switch and an inventory full of resist/life charms... Against Mephisto my resists are near max while using Salvation.

The "Death" runeword is another one to consider, if i'd been able to find a 5 socket ethereal bezerker axe, I would have made death instead of grief.

I also have no trouble soloing baal/minions in an 8 player game.

You might want to check the paladin forum for more info though :p

He said he put only one point in smite at first, and that this was a mistake, you should max smite (all the guides I've read say that too).

why HoZ (um) - Exile is better ?
More resists + life (points saved in dex/str go to vit). Lifetap wand + already huge defence, make Exile's defiance/lifetap pointless. It's a hell of a lot easier to get any HoZ rather than an exile in a 45 resist, high def, ethereal paladin shield too.

Why Grief when doom is better ?
Imo doom isn't so much better than grief that it justifies 2 extra high runes. The venom on grief is also nice, takes PI's down pretty quickly. If i'd been able to find an ethereal, 5 socket berserker axe I would have made Death instead of grief though.

Why duress when COH is better ?
Fast Hit Recovery, Crushing Blow, Open Wounds, 200% ED and it doesn't require Ber + Ist.


so how do you find acutal smite dmg if on the char screen it is bugged
Bust out the calculator, I guess :(
I don't really know anything about it, I just heard the character screen is bugged and based on what i've seen, I believe it is... My screen shows me doing 1000-1100 damage, but I kill hell monsters so fast that that can't be right. It's not a smite specific thing though.

I'm guessing that the +damage from grief isn't being multiplied by fanaticism/zeal. So, according to the character screen, i'm doing 33 damage (phase blade average) enhanced by zeal/fanaticism, to like 400 physical + 600 elemental/greif damage.

And it's supposed to be 424 damage (phase blade + grief damage) enhanced by zeal/fanaticism + 200 elemental damage. Which I guess would be somewhere around 4k - 5k.

That is just a guess though, I wouldn't be surprised if it's something completely different causing the bug :rolleyes:

That depends on your server and whether you play ladder or non-ladder...

I've seen Guillaume's face being sold for a Ko rune on uswest Ladder. Duress is a rune word "Shael + Um + Thul", in that order... Easy to make yourself.
