Why do you need better equipment? You've got way better stuff than most of
my paladins... besides, what do you mean by better? More damage? More
resists? More life? What is wrong with your current setup?

Seraph's is really not thar great for a melee paladin. I assume using
Astreon's, you're either a zealot or smiter? Highlords Wrath is a much
better zealot ammy, and Mara's will usually be more useful than Seraphs as
well, unless you're playing a Cleric.

Lavas are kinda poor. Bar none, the BEST gloves for a melee pally are
Dracul's Grasp. If you don't have those available, Bloodfists are nice(you
can up them to exceptional for much better def, if you play ladder, you can
even go to elite), Venom Grips are very common and cheap, Laying of Hands is
good for boss killing.

Now this is a VERY VERY BAD idea. You have no Cannot Be Frozen, which is WAY
more useful than the extra life and leech on a BK ring. Replace one with a
Raven Frost ASAP.

Verdungos or String of Ears might be better.

Depends. GA gives you better max resists, Duress boosts your kill speed.
Personally, I'd use a Duress over GA any day of the week.

Because he can? He's probably like me, and wants the best possible gear for
his char.

Doesn't mean he can't still improve it...

I'm guessing he wants to get the best combo of damage, life, and defense.

hmmm well yes and no. I agree the dual bks are a very bad idea (relatively
speaking) but if it's a zealot and he's hitting max (which he definitely
should be) then you can get away without CBF (unless it's pvp), but I'd take
a raven ahead of the bk anyday.

Better equipment isn't needed, but more balanced equipment will provide a
lot stroinger zealot or smiter
