A soul in search of answers.

I'm planning on making a Mage paladin. And I'm still unsure of how i should invest my points.

Should i follow Endurack's guide and use them like this.

SKILLS:
Blessed Hammer: 15
Blessed Aim: 5-10
Concentration: 20
Vigor: 10
Fist of the Heavens: 15-20
Holy Shock: 10-15
Conviction: 2+
Holy Shield: 1-5
Pre-requirements: 15
Salvation: 1 (If you clan to use your Mage for Team Duels)
Meditation: 1

Or should i place them like this.

Vigor: 20
Holy Shock: 16
Blessed Hammer: 15
FoH: 13
Conviction: 10
Blessed aim: 9
Concentrate: 1
Holy Shield: 1
all prereqs: 15

Endurack's Mage is more Hammer Variant and this one is more Foh. And could someone point me to a synergy calculator or whatever it's called or calculate the damage for me.

And this will most likely be my gear, maybe with some adjustment.

Helm: Shako and Griffon
Armor: Enigma
Weapon: HotO and Wizard Spike
Shield: HoZ
Belt: Arachnid
Boots: Grim Spurs
Gloves: Magefist and Bloodfist(if i'm using Griffon)
Rings: Sojs
Ammy: Maras

So that's gives:
+16 Combat skills
+14 Offensive Aura

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thx.

Here's a skill planner: http://www.d2items.com/skills.php

The downside of it is that it adds synergy bonuses for +skills, so you'll have to manually drop the synergies back down to 20 after you add the +skills, or it won't show the right numbers.

Theres a reason i posted my mage guide, for other mage players to follow it. So far in Mage vs Mage im undefeated and i can pretty much beat any character class, so it would be smart to follow my exact set up.

The build is good, but I don't have everything I need for it, and maintain my V/T as well...

That, and it's somewhat more difficult to use. I don't devote much time to this game anymore.

Not really. I'm just as happy.

omg but mage palladin so unfair? I entered game called "rofl i r so godly cuz i fist air!" and i hostiled him!! i was so nervous!! even though i was using gg legit 39x 3/19/19 small charms! i went to use bash on him but bash has knockback!! omg i would never stoop down to that level! so i clicked on skill bar and took a long time to have an honorable duel with the paladin!! but he fisted air once and he killed me using foh! And i think he was using AA too? because whereever i go the foh always hits me? omfg this so unbalanced?

Wow... how long have you been playing D2??

If you didn't know how Foh works, I think we could estimate how knowledgeable you are about D2.
