Isklør
Patriarch Isklor, Polar Bear Paladin
I'm calling him a Polar Bear as Holy Freeze is a key part of the build. A traditional Dream Paladin would provide conviction himself, but the Mercenary provided that with Infinity. This allowed me to add to the damage and slow everything down with Holy Freeze. Most of the damage came from the level 30 Holy Shock though. Isklør means Ice Claws in Norwegian, at least according to Google Translate.
He was played through Hell in The Shapeshifters MP Group.
Equipment
I'll start with the equipment as that is what defines the build.
Weapon: 'Carrion Scythe' 1.07 Lesser Blood Craft Phase Blade
Shield: 'Dream' Troll Nest
Switch Weapon: 'Beast' Berserker Axe
Switch Shield: 'Spirit' Monarch
Helm: 'Dream' Diadem
Armour: 'Chains of Honor' Dusk Shroud
Belt: Verdungo’s Hearty Cord
Boots: Gore Rider
Gloves: 'Eagle Finger' (10% Crushing Blow & Resists)
Amulet: Mara's Kaleidoscope
Ring 1: Ravenfrost
Ring 2: Beta Bul Kathos' Wedding Band
Inventory: 6x Captain's GCs, Resist Charms
I was originally looking at a 6FPA version with Crescent Moon but, after I crafted the Phase Blade, decided that others in the MP group could help with broken LIs, and I had some cold damage too.
Captain's GC add to the cold damage, but cold accounts for about 2K out of the total. It helps, but Lightning is much more significant. But once the resists are filled, there isn't really much else that helps the build.

I got about 3K life without BO in bear form, BO from Logan in MP took it to 5K.
I had about 63% Block when I started Hell at clvl77. As even the shifted 3K life was enough, and I had 85% Lightning and Cold resists, I decided to go for max block. I just about got there at level 85, you can see me adjusting the last points in the Baal run.

For solo play I was thinking about using Might, but I had less than 1k AR, which isn't enough even with Infinity. A switch to Blessed Aim worked really well.
Merc: Kasim, A2 Normal Defensive (Blessed Aim)
Weapon: 'Infinity' Thresher
Helm: Tal Rasha's HC
Armour: 'Treachery' Great Hauberk
Gameplay
No deaths. In fact none of the shapeshifters died in the MP game. I had to chug my first purple in the Flayer Dungeon when I ran into a room full of Fanatic Dolls away from the rest of the group. That was about the most dangerous moment. In fact I don't think I drank any potions other than that.
I obviously had Holy Shock running all the time. Holy Freeze was on most of the time, but I also used Vigor, Redemption and Sanctuary. The latter was useful, but by no means essential. Then again there wasn't much else to do with the points.
Acts 1 to 4 (sorry no sound)
Act 5
Isklor was a very strong build, even solo when I collected my Hellforge (Ko). I'm not sure what I would use him for, but I would like to use him in the future. If I get a spare Jah I may even invest in a Dream Sacred Targe for him.
Thanks again to everyone in the MP Group, it was great fun:
@D2DC - Kren-Douar, an Earth Shifter Wolf
@skiffcz - Logan, 3fpa Feral Wolf Barb
@ffs - Furry, a Fuzzy Dodger Amazon
@PhineasB - Praxidike, a Venomous Bearsin
@d2lover - Stunningham, a Stun/HoW/Ribcracker Bear
Including 1.07 that makes 100 Mas & Pats. In 1.10f+ he is number 78.
