Insane Build, Suggestions Wanted

[Steel101]

I'm thinking of making a Paladin Monk (fists/staff [Ribcracker]). I know this'll probably be the worst character in the history of Diablo 2, but I'm kind of bored. I was thinking along the lines of:
20 to Fanaticism
20 to Might
20 to Zeal
10 to Charge
1 to Vigor
1 to Redemption
1 to Salvation

Fanaticism is probably the best bet I have for at least up to 1k damage (with fists). Ribcracker will add a lot with Fan, so no worries if I use a Staff.I'll need Zeal if I plan on hitting anything. Charge will help with Zeal. Vigors just there. Redemption if I need some quick health (if I manage to kill anything), and Salvation if I'm baaling and Bartucs there or something. And Might will be a back-up (plus I think it's a synergy for Fan).I'll be able to complete this around level 60-70 (with skill quests). Here's the gear I'll probably use


Vampgaze / Tal's Mask
High Def Chains of Honor / High Defense Enigma
Perf Ribcracker (if using a staff, though I'll prob use fists)
Herald of Zakarum (if I can get one)
Dracul's Grasp (for Life Tap)
Sandstorm / War Travelers
Bul Kathos' / Dwarf Star x 2
Mara's Ammy / Seraph's Hymn
Life + Skill Charms

Mainly some Life Stealing and high Resist/Defense gear.

If you have any suggestions or just wanna tell me how big of a noob I am, go right ahead. I'm doing this because it's a new challenge to Diablo.

You should try this with a barb. Try doing a bashbarb lol.
20 bash
20 iron skin
20 bo
20 bc
rest into weapon mastery
mostly useless, but with good weapon(s) it might last. The defence would be insane too.

I was thinking about doing this with a barb, but with Concentrate instead of Bash.

If I maxed Shout + Iron Skin + Concentrate, my defense would be off the charts.

I'll try a barb, with the same gear as Pally. Skills might go like this
20 to Concentrate
20 to Shout
20 to Iron Skin
20 to Battle Orders
10 to Natural Resistance
10 to Bash
Finish these at level 88, put rest into Battle Commands

Another thing, I was just looking at Soul Drainer and that could be extremely helpful (Life + Mana Steal, -50 Monster Defense Per Hit [omgz pwnzox!!1])
Phoenix would be helpful for auto - Redemption, and Medusa's Gaze would be really helpful if I keep dying (fear the level 44 Nova)

I would put some into mastery, but if I'm gonna use Fists / Staff that's not an option. If anyone wants to try this with me, start the char and once it's a high level post its stats and we'll compare or something.

Some pts in sacrifice could help zeal a bit more.
I'm not so sure about the helm though... maybe something more dmg/ias oriented?

Hmm... A pally wont need 20 zeal as after level 4, the amount of hits stop ascending (or they just happen less often). I had a level 67 pally with level 30 Fanaticism and he was insane. I also had a high level of holy shield. Anyways...I was using a Very fast attack speed weapon and was hitting about 10 times a sec doing 4000 -10000 a hit. Well thats my best char I've ever made...(most people would think that thats weak, but I think its good ) Thanks for reading this long boring thingy I wrote!

PS. My pally was legit (and don't say duh! :doped )
