A Paladins Life

A COUPLE OF MY FAVORITE SKILL DESCRIPTIONS
	
	One of the most powerful Combat Skills  for a Paladin to have is Zeal!  But 
beware! Only put 5 points into this skill at the most because after that it only 
levels up your AR and just a little bit!  Zeal is very effective because it will 
attack numerous amount of times to numerous enemies all at once.  This move is very 
similar to the Barbarians Double Swing Skill and the Amazons Fend Skill.  
	In my opinion, since patch 1.09 has came out, the only really good aura 
anymore is Vigor.  This is an extremely good aura because it increases your run 
speed all the way up to somewhere around 45% and your stamina/stamina recovery rate 
will be so high you will never run out!  You see… your defense is brought down all 
the way to 0 whenever you run so… if you just use common sense they will have a 
hard time of catching you (!*¿warning¿*! if they are amazons you must get boots 
with any % rating on run/walk speed)!  Thorns used to be the best aura out there!  
But………… unfortunately………… it has been totally annihilated by patch 1.09, just like 
the  Barbarians Whirl Wind.
	Another one you should look at is maxing out Holy Shield this boosts the 
defense A TON!
	
A FEW SUGGESTIONS ON YOUR ATTRIBUTE LEVELING
	
	I would suggest putting all your points into strength until it is anywhere 
between 150 and 200 points.  
	Put enough points into Dexterity to keep a max (75%) block rating.
	Definitely put 200-250 points into vitality, this is of course the 
Paladin’s best friend! LoL
	Your energy is the shittiest attribute out there, I mean it just absolutely 
sucks for the Paladin, you need only, maybey, about, somewhere around 35points in 
this one! Just keep these words in mind O Great One… ENERGY IS NOT SOMETHING TO 
LOAD POINTS INTO UNLESS YOU ARE A SORCERESS!!! LOL!
	
THE FOLLOWING BELOW WILL BE A SHORT NON-RUSHING LEVELING UP GUIDE

	You should always clear the Blood Moor and Den Of Evil with a full house, 
you see many people do not understand this but the more people that are in the game 
the more EXP (LEVELING) there is for you!  Ok… here is an example:  Say that a Cow 
in Normal Difficulty gives you 200expirence points ( yes yes I no that this isn’t 
the EXACT total… I aint a rocket scientist you know *Kids Aint Aint a word! lol) if 
you have a full house a single Normal Difficulty Cow will give you about 500-750 
MORE EXP! 
	Ok… Now… BACK TO THE POINT!  After you do that you should work your way to 
Blood Raven (If you are level 6 you should yet still have a full house and all of 
you should go at once, BUT first kill all of her minions ONLY IF YOU HAVE MORE 
PEOPLE then kill her and have person taking out the rest of the minions that she is 
summoning).  Once you do that you should level up in the Stony Fields until you are 
level 9.  Work your way to the Underground Passage if you run out of monsters and 
make sure that you also clear out that area.  Clear out the Dark Wood and get the 
SCROLL OF INFUS and find the Dark Wood W.P.  Then, take it to Akara and go save 
Cain… But beware ****** Never rescue Cain until you have the WHOLE DAMN TARNATIONED 
PLACE CLEARED OUT!  For if Cain is sill there you get a ton more EXP!
	After you collect your treasures and kill everything… then rescue Cain and 
go on ahead back to town and talk to Akara and Cain.  You will learn of what they 
give you as rewards.  Then go to the Black Marsh and from there on kill everything 
onto THE SMITH and if you wish the EVIL COUNTESS, but you can do her on your own it 
is a simple “side quest,”  she is very, very easy.  Kill the Smith and clear out 
each level of the Jail and proceed to the Catacombs *(P.S. Charsi will let you 
imbue an   normal item of choice so you should keep that offer until act 4 and 
imbue really good armor like ANCIENTS ARMOR if you are a Non-Melee Character or a 
Good Weapon if you are a Melee Character)*.  Now go to Andariel and clear out the 
first two rooms and then open up the big doors and kill as many momsters as 
possible before she starts coming at you (on normal difficulty the poison is what 
kills you so you should stay close BUT on Nightmare and Hell difficulties her melee 
kills you so you should stay afar).  Proceed onto act 2 and level in the sewers 
until you are level 18 and kill Radament as you are there.  Get your Cube, Staff, 
and Amulet and restore the staff.  Go into the Palace and look for the Arcane 
Sanctuary and stay here until you are level 25 (with the exception of a full 
house).  Move onto the Canyon Of The Magi and go to the correct tomb.  Place the 
staff in the shining light and watch the door form from lightning!  Now, kill 
Duriel and if he freezes you run until it wears off and wack him or shoot him every 
two seconds to prevent him from healing as he chases you.  
	Now to act III… you should do this with more people because it is a BORING 
ACT!  But pays off in the end because the Boss: MEPHISTO, has the best items in the 
game, you just need some good MF (Magic Find).
	In act IV… kill Izual and destroy MEPHISTO’S SOULSTONE.  Be level 30 and 
kill Diablo he is tough especially his minions!  WATCH OUT FOR THE IRON MAIDEN! IT 
HURTS VERY BADLY! 
	In act V… Be sure to get the Barbarian Mercenaries and the socket quest.  
Do some Baal runs until level 35 and then finally do COWS! Until level 39.
	Now, when you feel ready go to Nightmare and Hell and kick some serious 
BAAL!

A Few Words From A Fellow MOOOOER! lol

	I would definitely stay with the group! Try to stick with a 
Barbarian/Amazon/Sorceress more then anything else.  Always have a mercenary as 
your Meat Shield but do be aware! He will die every single time so get all the gold 
you can on each run.  By the way never exit a cow stage for anything!  Cause by the 
time you get back it will be cleared and you don’t get ANY EXP at all if you aren’t 
in that same area.  Never go and run in there like a “Bat Outa Hell!”  Try to lure 
anywhere from 1-8 at a time unless of course you can handle them well.  It is 
recommended to ask your fellow warriors that are with you what they use as there 
skill, as an example:  Do not team up with a Barbarian with a sword and shield if 
you are a paladin YOU SHOULD HAVE THAT!  Do not team up with a Amazon that doesn’t 
have at least 10 into multiple shot and a fairly good bow… and if not a good bow at 
least some cold damage.  And of course and Sorceress is a good Sorceress as long as 
She/He is not a Newbie… hopefully they know how to level skills is what I am 
getting at there.  And of course if all fails tell them you are the leader and they 
should follow you if they wish to survive.
SOME BASIC NEEDS OF WEAPONS/ARMOR/JEWERLY 

WEAPON: Baranars Star 
SHIELD: Herald Of Zakarum
HELMET: Vampiregaze
BOOTS: Infernostride
GLOVES: Lavagout
RING: Raven Frost
RING: Any Ring With 6+ Life leech 
AMULET: Highlord’s Wrath
Armor: Shaftstop
Belt: Thundergod’s Vigor

YOUR MERCENARY OF CHOICE

	Well lets see here… O OF COURSE!!! An Act II Nightmare Defensive Mercenary, 
HE HAS HOLY FREEZE! He is very superior and I would level him up AS SOON AS 
POSSIBLE!  It is common sense… look at it this way: 50% slow enemies = 50% less 
damage! And also:  50% slowed enemies means that you get hit 50% less; thus 50% 
less block lock; thus a lot more attacking and a lot more life leech!  To tell you 
the truth this guy helps/survives the longest in cows!
			So Thank You Very Much On bearing with me on this guide! I 
belive that this is all my brain will push out right now so ADIEU!
