Crushing Blow Paladin build advice

[combat-5]

Hello, i was thinking if i build crushing blow Paladin, there might be
better options, but what you think of this build?

Full Cleglaw set 35%CB (Could replace later with Stonecrusher if i
find one)
Rattlecage 25%CB (Upgrade later perhaps?)
Goblin toes 25%CB (Upgrade too later?)
Blood gloves 10%CB

That gives 95%CB (and if using Stonecrusher 100%CB) and 50% Deadly strike

Skills:Zeal/Fanatism/Holy shield

I havent thinked about other items yet. Anybody tested this build of this
kind(or similar)?

Ideas, comments are welcome :)

You are forgetting Guillaume's Face, the helm from the Orphan's Call
set. It gives 35%CB and 15%DS alone.

I vaguely remember a paladin build based on crushing blow. To my
knowledge, the guy used Zeal with a Shael'ed lightsabre for speed and
Defiance to make good for the measly life steal.

I recommend http://www.tearsofdoom.com/tzon/bonus.html for working out
this sort of thing.

You've overlooked the fact that Cleglaw's includes gloves, so no Blood
gloves with that. But try something more like this:

"Black" runeword weapon 40% CB
Guillaume's Face 35% CB
Rattlecage 25% CB
Gore Rider boots 15% CB

..and you're over 100% (I think I heard that the actual number is capped
at 95% or so, but I could be wrong), and you also get 30% deadly strike,
40% monster flee, 10% open wounds, and knockback! Black can be made in
any club, hammer or mace with 3 sockets - I'd recommend a scourge for
the attack speed - and the runes are hardly super-rare.

Cheers!

Rattlecage might be a bit of a pain because of the Flee
mod but you could use it to your advantage if you have
lots of poison.I use Rattle on a Rabies druid since its
perfect for spreading the poison about.

True. But luckily I screwed up my maths, and in fact a Black weapon,
Guillaume's, and Goblin Toes are enough to give you 100% crushing blow.
With whatever armour and gloves you may desire.
