Equip for hdin

Well currently, I'm pretty poor now due to the nigma. My current equipment is :

Spirit Sword
Shako
Spirit Pally Shield
+1 Pally skills, some res
Mp nigma
War travs
magefists
a ring with fcr and some resists
nagelring
tal's belt

What should I switch out and keep?

Edit: Currently I'm level 77, and if I were to do hell rushes, approximately how far do you think I can go to before I have trouble? Personally, I'm guessing around A4 due to chaos sanct...

What would be some alternatives for the maras and arachs?

 

[Pom Shadd]

For mara's, any amulet with + 2 to paladin skills (FCR/resists would be preferable), or even +3 combat skills (again, with fcr or resists). I'd recommend doing some gambling. It might be worth making/equipping edge, or getting a gheeds if you don't have one (or doing both).

For the belt, its not really critical.

If you dont have arachs, you could consider goldwrap (up'd) for mf;
maybe dungos for some more vit and dmg reduction
a nice rare with resists/life/fhr/dex (or some combination of these mods).


As to the second part of your question, I'd say you wont really have much difficulty anywhere. You might have to take some areas slower than others.

Definitely, before you save up for arach/maras/soj(s), you should save for a CtA. Even a 1 bo CtA will be a huge help.

Thanks Pom, should I also save up for a HotO as well? Or should the spirit suffice for now?

 

[Pom Shadd]

HoTo would obviously be ideal, and it would be worth acquiring one. If you ever decide to retire your pally, it would, of course, make a boss weapon for any sorc.

But I don't think you'll have much trouble killing with just a spirit. Even if the difference is as much as 800 damage per hammer (which seems like a high estimate), you'll still be doing 9-10k.

Actually, the only difference currently is 400-500 damage now that I have the HoTo.

Thanks.
