Uber Paladin Build

The build is meant to be a safe build when dealing with the three uber bosses or with Diablo clone himself
With this build you can achieve:
90 LR / 85 FR / 85 CR / 75 PR
6 fpa smite attack speed
A decent amount of life
A certain amount of absorb against every element but poison
Benefit of the crushing blow effect on every hit
Goal:
Torch run under a minute (hunting down the 3 bosses)
Skill distribution
Note: The build will be completely finished at level 91-92 but will be effective way before that. Those extra levels are just meant to perfect it.

Stats distribution
Strenght: Just enough to wear your shield (As my exil was a vortex shield, I had 138 total)
Dexterity: Enough to reach max blocking chances, as usual
Vitality: The rest here
Energy: none
Item Setup -- Safety, stacked resistances and 100% chances of Crushing blow
Helm: UM'd Kiras Guardian Tiara (for resistance purposes)
Amulet: Maras (2 to all skills granted, 20-30 all resists, period.)
Weapon: Last Wish Phase blade (lifetap, 60-70% chances of Crushing blow -- having 65%+ from it will give you an even 100%)
Weapon switch: Call to arms (useless)
Armor: Chains of honor (dusk, wyrm, scarab or even ap can work -- I used a wyrm one)
Shield: Exile (vortex, zakarum shield or sacred targe would be the best options -- Look for a shield that has base resistances; 40-45)
Shield switch: Paly spirit (pretty self-explanatory)
Gloves: 20 IAS, Crushing blow, mods crafted gloves (The 20 ias is a MUST, otherwise, your smite speed will be lowered to 7 fpa. The CB will lead you around 100% -- Life, dex or resistance can be nice adds when looking for a pair)
Ring 1: Ravenfrost (20 dex, cold absorb -- nuff said)
Belt: Thundergod's Vigor (otherwise uber Mephisto can be a pain sometimes -- absorb is your friend)
Ring 2: Dwarf star (life and fire absorb are a plus)
Boots: Goblin toes (25% crushing blow -- way superior than goreriders. Upgrade them once if you wish)
Inventory:
Annilus doesn't matter wich stat
NO TORCH! u want to be able picking the torch up
This setup can reach up to 70% Crushing blow, deals more damage but has less chances to cast lifetap on hit and has less stacked resistances
