Best dps spell would be Ring of Light imo. It destroys terror fauzt (except neon fiends), whole brc is no brainer with it. I actually did judgement day upgrade right after brc (on hc). Luring uldyssian into jail and spamming RoL/Edryem is the way to go, you can kill avatars in about 2 seconds each. The only problem is beacon. If it will be caster near ring, you'll propably won't see it, so you need to play with music -on.
For farming, i was using devouring cloud oskill, cause it has good aoe and kills non-poison immune monsters really quickly. Farming Frozen Tundra is a little bit safer than HoP, droprates are nice too. Just avoid witches and corpse explosion.

Yeah Just tried it today as well. I forgot to mention that I usually play on /players 8 :lol:

Anyway 2 levels per run pre-90 is very likely to get with /p settings

cool stuff man, i have only played UHC as a late game build to be honest. You are right its a sick character but mindflay only starts to shine with + max character skills, charms and sick jewelery with lots of - lit res. I played evilpotatoes lazydin last 2 times i have done ladders with paladin and only started with UHC my first paladin ladder and i way preferred the progression of the lazydin. Ring of light just melts shit early on however since its pseudo melee it might be somewhat hard to use as a hardcore ability early on. Paladin is one of those characters that i dont think is innately strong without levels and charms/gear the really crazy thing about pally is that your passives just scale so much better than other classes as your damage increases naturally with gear and charms. as far as things to improve your character tfauzt for shrines is always the way to go if your still using tu gear for pally. Because of your OP brc skill and all the dr you get paladin more so than any other class in my opinion can take huge advantage of shrine crafts. too bad you ripped been watching some of your videos of your untwinked barb for some ideas lately and im really enjoying the comment. Try to get all this stuff on youtube when you get a chance. also FCUK man you need a mic that doesnt pick up all your background noise. good content though really enjoying it! :-D

edit: keep in mind i havent tested any of this in HC so take that with a grain of salt. im not masochistic enough to play MXL in hc but its cool to see you trying it out. (-:

edit edit: one last thing i saw you were using TU angel star for your weapon. I usually use TU grand sceptre

@masochista Where do you get ROL nowadays?
@shnurr Thank you for kind words and useful tips! Good microphone is expensive tho! :(

But guys, this topic isnt HC related though, I just mentioned HC, because particularly this pal was leveled on hardcore. We should focus on SC still...

You can get it from rare/crafted pal shields. If you want it very early, you can roll one from rare shield dropped in hatred dunc
