I created a custom map and modified an item and placed it within the map. The item is an amulet, Aphrodite's Favor. I modified the dbr file to get rid of the mind control and then added some bleed resistance in its place. I set all values under "Offensive Influence - Convert" to 0 and then set "Defensive Special - Defensive Slow Bleeding" to 27; which is the same number for all other resistances on the item.

I can pick up and equip the item in my custom map, but when I take the character to a different custom map, the item is gone. I tried using TQVault to see if I could save the item, but TQVault simply shows a yellow square with a question mark where the item is equipped. What is going on here and how can I get the item to be permanent between my custom maps?

Hi folks. I'm finding that my lvl 59 paladin is really struggling through epic act 4. My dps and survivability are both suffering. Also, my build just seems pretty lackluster as it barely utilizes any of the storm skills. I did have lightning bolt and chain lightning fully maxed, but they just weren't doing much damage. I'd like to have a more thematic build suited to both masteries.
Here's my current build:
https://www.kirmiziperfect.com/titancalc-anniversary-edition/TitanCalc594e594e594e.html?mastery=Paladin&master1=8&master2=5&sa=0&m1=32-0-10-0-0-1-0-0-6-0-0-0-6-12-0-0-1-1-0-8-0-0-0&m2=32-1-6-2-4-4-1-6-6-3-6-10-1-4-6-2-1-6-1-1-6-0-0

I've put 88 points into str and 40 into dex, but I think I'd be able to redo these with TQDefiler, if needed. Maybe put some into intelligence to up my lightning/cold dmg?

I would also like some suggestions on gear and where to find the required gear.

Please help so I can get this character through the game!
