Switch - Life tap wand paired with elite pally spirit shield or any decent cheap pally shield - buy the wand from akara or malah Weapon - Black Flail - 3 socket flail thul/io/nef Shield - 4 socket elite paladin shield with 30-45 resistance socketed with 4x Pdiamonds this will give you 106-121 resistance!!!! ( Sacred targe, Kurast, Vortex, sacred rondache, zakarum) / HOZ works too more expensive less Resistance Gloves - Laying of Hands / Draculs / Crafted blood gloves with CB% str/life/ias

Rings - Raven Frost / Dwarf star / Rare - Crafted (res/str/life/etc) Helmet - Guilliomes with UM rune / there really are no other options in my opinion the CB % is neededĬhest - Smoke / Treachery - some people prebuff with treachery with my build i have never had an issue running straight in there with either smoke or treachery on as long as fade is activeĪmulet - Highlords wrath / Cats Eye / Rare - Crafted (res/str/life/etc) This entire build only costs about 2-3 ist runes or so.


It has crushed ubers for me easily and made early ladder torches since the patch came out over 10 years ago. With upcoming ladder reset, as long as the changes do not affect paladin too much this Smiter budget build will work wonders for you with little runes spent on the gear.
