2 setups:
Standard PvM zealot/PvP smite/charger hybrid:
20 Fana
20 Smite
20 Holy Shield
20 Sacrifice
at least 1 zeal(HoZ will put you at 5, which is sufficient)
at least 1 in Vigor and all pre-reqs
rest in Zeal(for more effective PvM) and/or Charge(for more effective
PvP)
Primary PvP version:
20 Fana
20 Smite
20 Holy Shield
20 Charge
at least 1 Zeal
at least 1 in Vigor and all pre-reqs rest in Sacrifice(for those times
when you do go for a little PvM) or Vigor(to boost Charge)
For both versions, 1 in Salvation is optional, but can be very useful
against FoHers, Cold Sorcs, and any elemental character with a Lower
Resist wand on switch.
Stats are the same in both version, enough strength for gear, dex to
maintain 75% block, base energy, rest in vita. You'll also want to
make sure you have at least 48% FHR(if you can, get 86, it's the last
breakpoint, but it's a bit tougher to reach) and max resists, and
you'll probably want 25% DR or more as well. For melee duels, keep Run
turned off.
The "ideal" setup for this type of pally is:
CoA(usually socketed with Ber/Ber or Ber/Cham so you don't need the
Ravenfrost, or Ber/Shael)
Grief phase blade or zerker
upped Um/p diamond HoZ or Exile in an elite pally shield with resist
all
Fortitude or CoH
Dracul's
Gore Riders
Highlords Wrath
Verdungos
BK ring+Ravenfrost or if using Cham'ed CoA, BK Ring x2 or BK ring+rare
ring with resists/stats/whatever
You have the weapon and gloves, but here's some alternate options for
other gear:
Helm-Harly Crest, Andy's Visage
Armor-Duress, Guardian Angel
Shield-non upped HoZ, godly rare +2 skills elite pally shield
Belt-SoE, TGods
Boots-Godly rares with 30% fast run, FHR, resists, stats
