This a viable pally pvp build...?

I saw a guy using this and he owned everyone 3vs1. No one could hit him and when they did it didn't do too much. But every time I say something about it to a friend they say that a V/t is much better. Anyways;

20 smite
20 fanat
20 holy shield
20 defiance

helm; 2 ber coa
armor; enigma
weapon; doom
shield; exile
belt; verdungo
boots; goreriders
gloves; draculs grasp
ammy; maras
rings; raven/bk or bk/bk

so he had maxed fanat aura going, lvl 16 defiance, holy freeze, then maxed holy shield+maxed defiance as synergy=lots of defence.

maxed resist and dr

anyways, he owned everything in site.... but didnt see a good V/t come in so i dunno...

is it a viable build? (this is ladder by the way)

Yeah I am pretty sure the V/t would own this guy. He is just a smiter.

the v/t has pretty much become the strongest pally build, that build is for noobs which is all i have to say, as maxing def doesnt do shit IMO, ive hit 53k def with only 13kAR using a barb, and most melee chars are either ww'ing u or smiting u

Not only is he focused on defense only, which isnt that useful concidering Smite and all elemental clasees and magical classes ignore defense, but its lacking Smite damage and resistances. The problem with exile is it has no increased blocking nor any useful stats other then life tap. This build is incredibly BM and I have dueled many pally like this and destroyed them. The only pally thats stands a chance vs a v/t are Mages or Asteron smiters.

when you say mage what kind of skills are you talking about like hammer dins or what? and the asteron smiters are only good because ther + damage is counted for smite and isnt penalized right?

mage = foh + hammers
