wonderful.. I've played this build before in TQIT.. paladin actually is one of the best ice sharders if built and geared correctly because ice shard is best used as a spam skill just standing there and blasting until everything dies, and defense is still the best defense to let you stand there and blast non-stop.. i feel there is one more key item.. it's the first one i checked and yep of course you got it: the torso armor.. a green with reduced requirement socketed with golden fleece.
