Apocalypse Unholy Paladin

So I tried Mindflay unholy paladin, but really it's balls. I could do some runs like dcow and Trans Athu, but that was it. I tried Apocalypse paladin and can do dcow fairly quickly, some Unformed Lands, but really that's it.

I'm pretty lost with what items i should be looking to get and what I should prioritize as an unholy paladin. It's difficult to do any actual ubers, and the immunity monsters are a tough barrier.

I have a few pieces right now..

Thoughts?

Would could i do or change as an unholy paladin to actually do some ubers, like duncraig for example?

for unholy pally you want to stack -light resist and light damage. the imperius set is really good and fairly cheap. thats a good place to start. The best items are ornate crafts but they take a while to craft really good ones. Can probably craft a few adequate ones easily though.

Craft a boots with Fascinating shrine to get + ~20 to Apoc. Also use Fascinating to craft your pal helm (or circlet - try to get +3 all skills). MO your gears with fire damage, apoc is not very good for boss fight so I guess -100% fire res is okay. Besides I would say get more charms and your paladin will be awesome. You already have good weapon - a double MOed magister staff with decent stats is very very hard to find so I suggest don't try to get one.

I did stack light -res and damage. I rolled the apoc boots. I do 48k apoc. I have a double mo'd magister staff that has nearly perfect rolls.

Problem is, I can't kill any real ubers, triune, duncraig, even kurast 3000. I don't know why paladins are in the game with such terrible skills.

since unholy paladin is like the best build ingame overall, it seems that you should practice on your own skills

So your staff is double MOed - damn I think you have the best apoc din weapon ever, really. Maybe your problem is just that you dont have enough charms
But why do you stack light damage and -light res, when Apoc is fire damage? Stack fire damage instead. Also unlike cow, Triune, Duncraig and even Kurast k3k are not straight forward ubers, you have to practice some to survive there.

I stacked light on different gear when I was unholy mf. I changed to apoc and can stomp dcows, but really I want to do some real ubers, you know?

Problem with most of the ubers is mixed immunities. My apoc does 48k right now (i haven't started orbing the staff.. you know why)

apocalyspe can clean every uber place
smax slayer to help for immune go for eagle stance helm runeword
slayer/1 point on vessel should clean immunes without any problem
48k should be more than enought i had 45k with near all charms on my last din and didnt had any problem to clean place like fauzt dunc etc u probably have something wrong.
48k look much do u maxed energy ? if yes u probably have to low life that why u cant clean some harder place vita is the way to go

You want max +all skills and apoc level (use both weapon and crafted boots). Rest of the gear eerie crafts for maximizing damage. Double mo unique weapon helps too.
You can reach damage cap on apocalypse with good enough crafts and jewels.
Vessel of retribution for immunes, with spell damage gear it is strong enough to kill immunes fast on its own (for example neons in fauztinville).

I'm banging my head on the wall from fauz.
