     3.About Paladin
    ================= 
    
       It is a GOOD choice if you pick Paladin.
       Paladin is such a good character in D2 at my opinion. The aura is 
       useful and it will also give benefit to your party members and 
       hirelings in certain distance. In battle net, I think there is
       no one dont want to make party with Paladin.

       For those people who not using Paladin, make a TRY on it.

     Comment       : This skill is not good. It damage self to do damage
                     and the stats is weaker than Charge. It is better 
                     using Charge. It is only useful when you fight
                     in Act 1 (Normal). I just put 1 point in it to 
                     learn the next skill.

     Comment       : USELESS!! The stun length is short and the damage 
                     is weak. Beside that, the stun attack isn't very 
                     effective in Boss Fight. It is better save some

     Comment       : This skill is WEAK + USELESS + LOW ACCURACCY.
                     The hammer will just moving like planet but
                     its orbit will be bigger after 1 round and it
                     is hard to hit the enemies.            
                     Dont put more than 1 point on this skill.
                     This skill is hopeless. Forget about it.
                     (It maybe useful at the beginning of the game
                      but when you enter Nightmare or Hell,
                      this skill is......)

     Point         : 1
     Comment       : I am not very interesting in this skill. Seems
                     it cant 100% convert a monster (at skill level 20)
                     and it duration alwalys remain at 16 seconds. 
                     I think it is better to kill the mosnter than
                     try to use Conversion.  
                     (I think this skill is only has 1 advatage that
                      it can slow down your enemies. But it is not 
                      worth to use this skill for this advantage.)

       Comment       : This skill is pretty good!! It add your
                       defence(Shield) and chances of blocking.
                       Another good thing is you can use it with
                       auras. It is more like Shiver Armor than
                       aura. Remember to cast Holy Shield anytime
                       when you are fighting. It helps you very much.

       Comment       : I dont like this skill very much. Seems it
                       has the cast delay and only did heavy damage
                       when the skill level is high. Beside that,
                       Charge can do more damage when you equip a
                       strong weapon(Nightmare or Hell).
                       *Although it is not my favourite, it is very
                        useful when you are fighting with many undead
                        enemies. If you want to use this skill,add 
                        as many as possible.

        7.Tips and Hints
       ==================
  
          A)Skill
            i)Hotkey Combination

              The Hotkey Combination is very important for Paladin
              for his Auras. If you do it well, you will be able to
              use combination of skill you like.

              Below are the combination of hotkey I suggested. 

              F1--VENGEANCE(LEFT)       F5 TO F7--ALL THE AUARS
              F2--CONVINCTION           
              F3--ZEAL (LEFT)  
              F4--CHARGE(LEFT)
              F8--Holy Shield (RIGHT)

            ii)Skill Combination

               a)For fighting minions
 
                 ZEAL + THRONS

                 The combination is best Vs minions. Since Zeal can
                 do multiple attack and Throns can damage the enemies
                 who hit you. I use this combination to fight in 
                 Moo Moo Farm and it is totally no promblems fighting
                 with the cows.Of course,this include using Holy Shield.

              b)For fighting Unique Monters and Bosses

                1)Vengeance + Conviction

                  Best using it when fighting with moster that Immune
                  To Physical Attacks. Vengeance does the elemental 
                  damage and Conviction lower the resistance and make
                  more damage. Hmm... a fantastic combination.

                2)Charge + ?? (Any type of auras)

                  Charge is a very unique skill for Paladin. Its fast
                  attack speed and knockback ability make you able to
                  do many attack in a short time. Beside that, Charge
                  can combination with any aura u like due to the
                  situation you faced. A good combine.

              c)For Dueling with Other Player

                 Charge + Holy Freeze

                 Charge is used for it fast attack speed and its 
                 knockback. Holy Freeze can slow down your opponents
                 although he/she has equiped item that contains
                 'Cannot Be Frozen'. You can beated your opponents
                 easily with this.
