While I did play the old D2 and HC i’ll be honest here… I literally NEVER leveled a Paladin haha.
With that said I am at the point of easy farming NM solo as long as I run from the stupid OP dolls.
My res in hell are close-ish to being capped I am hunting a better shield base still for a spirit reroll but you all know how rare those are… rings and gloves are still terribad.
Anyway I am having a hard time pushing into Hell even at lv80, my blockrate is like 66 at the moment… something like 900HP… and I still feel squishy as hell even in A1.
I am following a basic 125% castrate guide for gearing and skills, does anyone have specific changes they made or a build that made the transition into hell a little easier? My hammers do great damage and somewhere around lv26 or 27 with both synergies capped. My dex is in the 170 range.
How can I get more “tanky” at this point?
Appreciate it, if you like feel free to add me we can hook up in game for a mentoring session if you are up for it (when the servers come back).
Current Gear:
Spirit Sword 29%? (id love to go Heart of the Oak but im poor)

Some low rings that aren’t worth mentioning.
