Unholy Melee Paladin [105-125 content in TU's]

this thread and guide is dead. For those who want relevant information on UHM find any rally up any post I made in this thread and some outside of this thread about UHM if you want to play with some decent information.

https://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=40052&start=180 This link has still somewhat relevant information about COLD UHM. 2 Patches ago, crossed out a bit of irrelevant information.

This link https://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=44824&p=353696&hilit=Fire+fire#p353696 is last patch relevant information about BOTH which has literally not changed at all but less specific information compared to above. I suggest you follow this one above all else anyway.

PS: Requires you to read. A small price to pay.

Any tips for gearing out mid game? Is Mal set still the way to go? Im loosely looking at this for my hardcore pally since its outdated. Been told way to go for gearing after TUs would Be erawan chest and Bear stance oskill crafted shield. What other gear would Be good to aim for?

I am working on a 1.4 update for this guide. Currently done almost all 1-120 content in tiered uniques with 0 sigs eaten. stay tuned

Edit: all 105-120 ubers done so far. Fautz/teganze easy if cautious. Bremmtown done easily. Goal is to kill xazax.

Hello! I recently play this wonderful mod (3 days), and decided to start with this guide. But here is the problem, I can’t open the Tainted Blood skill. Help me please!

Putting points into grim presence currently blocks out tainted blood.

The original post is grossly outdated. Guide rework is in progress.

Thanks! I thought I was wrong. :-]

Updated the original post.

TU/0 signet progression tips in second post.

edit: kingdom of shadow done in t4 gear. 100% 105-120 content done in t4/0 sig. yshari sanctum done

I decided to go for Blood Thorns and this character is really fun to play for your first hardcore experience.
Now on lvl 92 my goal is to reach lvl 115 and to farm the easiest/most beneficial charms before the new ladder starts tomorrow.

Never thought I will end up a night crafting this weapon and deciding which further MOs to pick.
More %AR for bosses or Life on Attack first? Probably more %AR but does it really pay off? You think twice if you only have one life

After all, this is my second paladin after trying Unholy Caster and my first serious melee char in my D2 history since may 2000!!
I'm glad this updated guide exists. Thank you bapcja against all negative votes.

edit: died at lvl 103 at Baal NM, must have been a lag spike (9200hp,full ele res,19% phys res, one shotted)

Viable for 1.5? what do you think?

I can't see anything that has changed in 1.5 so yes I think
