Hey guys.  I currently have a Pally with Res Lit and Holy Shock maxed.  As
well as 8 points into Salvation.  I messed up and put like 8 in might and 6
in vengence.  I am 64th level now and do not know what to do with the 3
skill points I have saved up.  What would you guys do?  I am PvM softcore.
Looking to do damage or something good.  I am just lost as to what to do
next.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks.

I would say... that the Might is the only 'wasted' points. The vengeance
synergizes with Resist Lightning and Salvation. Put 'em into salvation. :)

I'd concur with artist here - I have a similar build, with HS, Salv
and resist lightning maxed, and am now working on vengeance. I
understand why you put some points in might, I chose a might merc to
achieve the same ends.  I'm interested in what equipment you're using,
as I've just started Hell and am having problems when soloing. Parties
are no problem, 'cos the maxed salvation goes down well, as does the
95% lightning resists if we come across a LE boss.

I just started hell with my Clvl 61 Pally and was finding it extremely tough
until I equipped a LightSaber and Tiamet's Rebuke. My setup is quite
average.

Guardian Angel
Crown of thieves for 12 life stolen and fire resists
String for life stolen and DR
Rare gloves : 3 life/mana stolen and lightning res.
Nats boots 40% faster R/W with fire and lightening res.
Manald/Ravenfrost/and Eye of Etlich.

Soon I'm going to need better all around resists but for now, Ghurrian
rocks.

Well, my lvl 43 (Hey, I'm working on it, but nobody joins my party games.
:/) has a four socketed Aerin shield with 4 pDiamonds in it for his
resists. Add that to the blood crescent that I upgraded to a scimitar and
a shimmering charm of might +15% resists and I'm good to go well into
hell. :D

It was in 1.09.

At 20 points you return 10x the damage that you receive.
*physical* damage only.
*hits* not attacks.
and the damage returned faces their physical resistance, and the actual
damage delivered back to the hitter might be 1/2 or 1/20th the blood you
paid out for physical damage.

There is no reflection of ranged damage of any type, nor elemental
damage delivered in melee attacks.

Further, the better your defense and blocking, the less this aura helps
you. The more the enemy use magical attacks, the less this aura helps
you.

However, join with a skellimancer, and all his minions get the same
thorns aura which will help the party greatly.  The minions bleed, the
attackers bleed in reply, you just help it happen.
