Budget Tesladin

I'm planning on playing a Tesladin and have nearly all the gear together.
Since I'm missing some high runes to build Fortitude or Enigma for armor and Grief as weapon
I would like to know some budget solutions. For a weapon I have a Crescent Moon and I read for armor
Duress could help. Are there other runewords with affordable mid runes or unique items I could use?
And will I be able to play in hell without the recommended expensive runewords?
Last question is about charms. Are attack rating charms helpful for Tesladin builds?
Thanks a lot!

I can't speak to the details of the Tesladin (just started a Pally yesterday) but regarding, "Can I play in Hell without the high rune Runewords?", the answer is YES!

You might not set any records for clearing, but with decent gear, you should be able to start soloing. If you are getting smashed, check your levels. You should be in the low 70s. Check your gear and analyze what is happening. Are you not killing fast enough and getting overwhelmed? Consider weapons. Are you watching your red globe drop by 25% instantly? Check resistances, shields, and armor.

Also, remember, as long as you can make it to The Pit (Tamoe Highlands) that is a prime hunting Ground for getting upgraded stuff. It is great to be able to run all over Hell with impunity, but that is the closest to End Game this game has, and therefore for the high rune Runewords and God Tier gear.

I run a Tesladin with Crescent Moon and 3 piece tals. I have nearly 490% MF and the aura itself basically zaps everything with ease on players 1.

If you are on P1 the charms don't really matter. Crescent Moon and dual Dream kill most monsters pretty quickly and you just Zeal the rest down.
For budget armor you can use Duress or Guardian Angel depending on your resists and preference. I used Duress until I picked up a Fortitude.

By budget tesladin- do you mean budget with dual dreams?

Yes, sounds crazy and of course I forgot to mention it.
It's the dual Dream Tesladin and the budget part is for the body armor and the weapon since I wasn't
lucky enough to get Lo and Ber runes to build Fortitude, Enigma, Chains of Honor, Grief...
But I got three Jah so far.

Yes, I play on P1. I think I have a Guardian Angel somewhere in my stash. But would also prefer the Duress I think.

Did you already blow the 3rd Jah? Seeing how you don't need that for your Dreams, if you wanna trade that down, you can get your Grief + Fortitude for it and still have runes to spare. Solves the "budget" problem.

But yeah, Duress is a great interim choice. With weapons you generally have plenty of options but for a Tesladin, I'd be inclined to just stick with Crescent until you get a Grief.

Since it Is TESLADIN build it feel right to ask here rather than making new post. I wanna know which GCs is best for tesladin to maximize dmg since all the skills split in different columns. It will be easy to give combat skillers from my hammerdin but if dmg increase even a little i am willing to change.
Also any dmg calculator with skiller, its will be nice.
