I am playing a Paladin through singleplayer, completely untwinked. The only software I use is GoMule but I only use it as stash extension, I don't want to spawn any new items.
Nightmare was a breeze for me. I played a Tesladin there, but on Hell, there are so many LI monsters, I decided to switch to a Fanaticism Zealot instead. It works just as well on Nightmare, if not better. The only thing that can kill me on NM is a stygian doll group out of nowhere.
Unfortunately, on Hell, I can't kill anything. I struggle against anything stronger than a Fallen, and a group of zombies is almost unkillable for me. If I get surrounded, I'm dead. Also, playing on /players 1.
My stats (with +stats included):
Level 66
STR 102
DEX 130
VIT 187
ENR 21
1219 defense (2803 with Holy Shield), 4012 attack rating, 626-1054 damage on Zeal
Items:
head: tal rasha's
chest: Duriel's Shell, 650def
weapon: aldur's mace, fleshrender - not sure which one is better to be honest
shield: 223def rare Protector's Shield, 75% block, +30% all resist, +30% lightning resist
belt: 60def rare Battle Belt, 10% fcr
rings: cathan's seal 6% lifeleech, rare +102 attack rating ring
gloves: Sander's Taboo
boots: Infernostrides
amulet: rare +19 all resist, replenish life +9, 3% life leech
Skills: 20 sacrifice, 20 zeal, 20 fanaticism, 8 holy shield + prereqs
I got an eth lidless wall, but I don't feel like using it, it feels more caster oriented, and I don't want to play a hammerdin.
My question to you. Which part of my equipment is worst, should I use aldur's mace or fleshrender? I am open to farming Nightmare for better equipment, but I don't really know what I should look for, it seems like all the really good equipment drops on Hell starting from Meph. Also, which merc should I use? My gut tells me Act 2 with Might aura, but he dies so quickly and it's not like I can equip him with Infinity and stuff.
