Increment, the White Knight
[highlight]The Plan[/highlight]
Themed builds can be fun or not so much so(the latter in this character at the end) Usually a theme build utilizes something outside the normal for a character to make playing a basic concept the same, at least that is my take on it.
Enter the White Knight. Your basic Fantazealot that grows with experience. With that in mind, equipment needs to use the underutilized and rarely if ever used items that give +per/character level. I originally was going to include all my equipment and my mercenaries and go zero runewords. I ended up going rings/amulet freebie slots(though a BK ring is on, and pre-buff switch is exempt as well) With the mercenary slots being 1 runeword and two other items(One utilzing the theme)
The last part of the theme was to be all white. This is harder than it sounds, a lot of good mods override the crappy level of either the Visionary or Faithful mod. But the Diablo Gods shined down on me during my battle with Diablo in Hell difficulty dropping something to ensure I finished on track though. So I disregared the color requirement due to unless I was able to get 4 sockets in some 1.07 items it was not worth the effort for color.
[highlight]Playing[/highlight]
This was a fun character. My main equipment was on quite early(47 originally save amulet and ring) So I could literally see me grow in damage, armor, and attack rating.
By the time I got to hell though and got myself to 80 it was a boring snooze fest, the way of a zealot at least to me. He wasn't overpowered to slice and dice through everything faster than butter and he wasn't so slow I fell asleep kinda towards the sleep time though.
I used three armors in hell. First was a 1.07 crafted safety Breast plate with 3 sols for 31PDR and faithful mod. Second was an Upped Spirit Forge with a Shael and Tal. Third was the final one I'm wearing that was dropped off of Diablo himself in Hell.
