I would think only 80-100 dex is needed since you're maxing holy shield.

Then again if there are dex requirements above that.. meh. :P

(I don't even bother trying to memorize all the stats on every item anymore)

[SilverZX]

Interesting idea :). Good job.

[:[.:/King\:.]:]

i think you would need mana so put the energy maybe 200

Huh?:
What do i need mana for?:

[medicine_man]

Why do you always have Defiance maxxed in your builds? Is there a hidden defense bonus somewhere in there?

EDIT: My mistake Keitaro, I see you've answered my question in another thread. Does it add defense bonus to Holy Shield?

Holy Shield Receives Bonuses From
Defiance: +15% Defense Per Level

[medicine_man]

Damn that's a heavy bonus. If this build isn't cranking a whole lotta damage it's not worth it...

[Foog]

ummm, what's the damage bonus with sacrifice at level 32 or whatever you have it in this build? it's still 8 % damage to self, right? besides that, i think your build is fine..i've never seen a sacradin before. let me know if it turns out well...

[medicine_man]

If you stack up a whole bunch of leech you might be able to take away the damage to self.

all of your points go into sacrifice,redemption,fanaticism,holy shield, and defiance.
i say BOTD in the item description but if you are rich you should use last wish
the skill points go into strength,health, and dexterity NONE in mana.
you can do up to 5-10k damage and with last wish you ignore whatever you are attacking's defense and will rape everything.
your merc should have the runeword infinity

This is a very good post, I'd be willing to sticky the guide itself if you cleaned up some unnecessary wordage and then make some things (like where you should first put your skills points, then dump the rest later)

Also, would be good if you add jewelry, other accessories and other merc items.

I know you were just adding suggestions, so in its own, you did a wonderful job, but if you'd like your own sticky...

[arctic-light]

thx 4 your insight on this
i was sorta in a rush so i just found the gear i had from the site and copypastea(rule 14 and 15)ed it

i dunno about ammys or rings but i guess a maras, highlords, or serafs(excuse my spelling) would be fine for ammys. and for rings natures peace and dwarf star? I dunno.
in my haste i forgot the belt. Verdungos or arachs would do fine

and only enough vitality to get you started at 1st b/c the life leech and life tap AND damage put to mana so put about 150-170 points in life and the rest in strength and dexterity.
with this build you can have around 2000% enhanced damage

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

and 1 more thing
wtf is a sticky??????

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

for this build do a bunch of research or it will bite you in the ****en ***
lol

o
a cheap replacement to the dream helm would be a delirium helm

[Blue]

A sticky is a thread that permanently stays at the top of a forum or sub-forum so everyone can see it.
I never made a sac-pally, so I am going to ask why so many points into strength and no 'resting it into vit
Thirdly, instead of adding post which will be automatically added into your previous, its a better idea to just click "edit post" and add it in. That way it doesn't fill up the GCBOS chat box

[arctic-light]

ok i see wat you mean
if you but a bunch into strength then you will inevitablly kill faster
and with this build you are stealing a minimum of 19% health with a 10% chance of life tap and it doesnt really matter anyways because your defence will be unbelieveably high if you put the forty in sacred armor.
1 min i will post the total dmg % bonus you get with all this

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

ok at lvl 20 sacrifice gives you a 465% increase to dmg with 15% extra dmg per lvl with redemption (15x20=300) and with fanaticsm an extra 5% dmg per lvl without the aura on (5x20=100) so with those two without fanaticsm on you have a sacrifice dealing an extra 865% dmg. So with fanaticsm on you are dishing out 1238% damage AND if you have last wish it gives lvl 17 might and you would have 1468% damage percent increase with a conviction aura which lowers defence and resistances *takes a breath*
so does it really matter if you are raping everything?
o and sacrifice gives an accuracy boost
