Hi Theurgist, like to say thanks for assembling this build with the detailed outline of items. I'm just starting up PoE with both WM 1&2 purchased as well so I assume that means all these items will be available. I'm currently enjoying my Monk, but been tempted to fire up a paladin of this sort as I have to have a outlet for the arse in me and play 'dark'.
Though I don't expect a reply to this, aside from the thank you that I wanted to express, there is also a concern for how this seems like a end game char and not one that works their way through the campaign very effectively without being carried heavily. Admittedly, I'm entirely ignorant of how Paladins play in PoE but it seems like without those named items you listed as essential, this build is going to suffer performance issues. My question then would be, how painful is the leveling process without those items? Tedious? Doable with micro management? Just curious if anyone else has had any experiences with leveling this build or if its assumed that you level as buffbot/tank and then respec for the carnage?
