My Paladin build (original? doubt it)

[Sicotik]

K. So, I'm only at level 9, but after checking out the stats, I've decided on this.

20 in each of these skills - Fist of Heavens, Holy Shield, and Thorns.
10 in each of these skills - Resist Fire, Resist Cold, Resist Lightning
4 in this skill - Zeal (no use after that, its always 5 hits)
Pre-requisites (1 point each) - Sacrifice, Holy Bolt, Blessed Hammer.

I intend on getting to level 99, so I should have 2 extra points,
not counting quests, so figure in about 5 extra points by 99.
Anyways, at the minimum I will finish this build by level 97.

Stat points

Haven't really thought this through, but I'm thinking about 600 mana
because of Holy Shield and Fist of Heavens. As for health, I intend
on massacring my enemies with loads of STR and have some DEX
so i hit at least about 50% of the time on
most monsters (the rest I can use FoH on) but I will have about
800 health just in case. I'm not sure though, the highest I ever
got was a level 48 tank druid, but I lost my LoD disc so now I'm
playing plain old D2. Tell me what you think, although I'm sure
lots of people have made this type of build before.

STR = Useless for anything but getting gear. After getting enough of it to wear good gear, you will always end up either putting enough points in dex for max block or just dumping all of your points in vit. Any build that sinks more points into STR than it needs for gear is absolutely useless.

Do you plan on using zeal as your main attack? If so, I don't understand your aura choice at all. Thorns only inflicts minor damage to people who are attacking you, whereas some other aura (like fanaticism) would increase attack speed and damage. Wouldn't you rather be able to kill things unbelievably fast rather than only hurting them when they damage you?

The point of leveing zeal up past level 4 is not to get more hits, it's for better damage and AR. If you think you'll be able to fly only hitting things 50% of the time, and having ****ty block, AND getting a very minimal AR bonus from zeal, you are absolutely incorrect.

No one has made this build before because... Well, it doesn't really make much sense. I can tell you that you will definitely be unable to make it to level 99 without being run extensively. And even after being run extensively, this build will be useless for soloing anything decent.

I strongly suggest looking up some other pally builds on this forum, and remaking this character. I think some of the ideas you have about character building are fundamentally incorrect, and if you look up some of the better guides, for a couple different classes, you will get a feel for how it should be done in such a way that can actually lead you into hell and beyond. I wish you luck in future builds :D
