This thread will help new players for diablo II decide on what character build they would like to persue. I know everyone here needed help when they first start playing the diablo series on the skills they want for the most powerful outcome and not making mistakes in picking skills not needed. So if there are character builds you do not wish to hide, please post them here so our newest comrads can build our strength in the name of SICK. Here is my character build. Sacrifice Pally
Let me explain why i think this is one of the best for pally. With Sacrifice: Sacrifice will be your left skill set. Having Redemption and Fanaticism maxed you will have Sacrifice at max for bonuses. Here is the description for Sacrifice. 8% damage to self. to Atk rating +153%. Damage +865 percent
With Holy Shield: Having holy shield is always good and with defiance maxed, holy shield will get all bonuses to def which is 505 duration sec. defence bonus +610%
With Fanaticism: Having that maxed set in your right skill set and sacrifice on the left, hella damage and fanaticism will increase your atk speed and add more damage to your attack with a grand total of +1,238% to damage. Holy shit!
And finally, when you are running low on health or done killing monsters, switch to Redemption to gain life and mana.

For the sake of SICK and the glory of Lord Silver.
Those whom have taken in the wicked, shall be punished by thy Lord.
Those whom have trechered into the dark, shall be smited by thy Light.
Blade fury maxed
Venom maxed
Burst of speed maxed
Shadow Master maxed
and you can pick whatever other skills you want
Blade fury being maxed is 101-108 damage per a blade. If you combine that with Venom, which is 458-504 poison damage and have the right equipment for cast rate increase, awesome attack. Blade fury also takes 3/4 of your damage and adds it to the 101-108 damage.
shadow master is excellent when you are attacking with blade fury in the back. It keeps most of the monsters attacking the shadow master.
And whenever you have a monster get close to you. activate burst of speed and venom to you melee attack and it should defeat anyone.
