Thank you guys for the congratulations. I really really enjoyed this tourney and I hope there will be another one.
Here the final stats and equipment for Sepp the Zealot.
Sorry for the long post.
Stats after equipment:
Level 83
Strength 148
Dexterity 131
Vitality 274
Energy 25
Life 1094
Mana 170
Defense 2187 (9622 with Holy Shield)
Damage 1146-2798
Resists (after 3 Anya quests):
Fire 74
Cold 73
Lightning 75
Poison 75
This gave me a blocking of 73%. That was enough. I didn't turn into a Bone Fetish very often (the Delirium 'bonus'). As you can see I made a lot of rune words for this character. I ran Nightmare and Hell Countess very much (I think I did close to 300 runs). And I was lucky with my Hellforge drops. At least in Nightmare. The items I got mostly from Hias. He did some (read: I didn't count them, but it was many) Pit runs to gather all these items. The Thresher for the Merc was found in the Jungle of Kurast, it already had 5 sockets. And the runes were pretty cheap at that point, so he got a very nice weapon from that point on.
When entering Hell Sepp had the Delirium helmet, the Crescent Moon Berzerker Axe, the Shield and the Smoke Wyrmhide. The Great Hauberk for the Stone armour was found doing a Countess run with Sepp. Changing the Armour from Smoke to Stone gave me serious resists problems until I found the protector shield, that I made into a Rhyme shield. Another good bonus from Rhyme was the Cannot be frozen modifier.
The ctc Static Field and the curses on the Delirium helm made Sepp a viable character for Hell especially with such low life (for a melee character).
Charms:
I had a full inventory (except 8 slots to pick up items) of charms. Mostly elemental, +life and +damage, +AR. The usual. I calculate a poison damage of 316 over 24 seconds. That was enough to stop regeneration of monsters in Hell.
Skills (after items):
Sacrifice 20 (22)
Zeal 20 (22)
Vengeance 6 (8)
Holy Shield 20 (22)
Fanaticism 20 (22)
all prereq 1 (3)
A few points in some useless skills, as I didn't know that Vengeance would prove that usefull in the end.
