A Classix V/T would never, i repeat never work out. Four main reasons here:
1. No Pally only type shields that have insane mods so your smite will suck.
2. Harder to level so balancing out a V/T with low levels doesnt work.
3. No damage reduction to make V/T's stand thier gorund melee like they are capable of doing in 1.08+.
4. Its just not a possible build due to so many item limits, skill limits stat limits and everything.

For Classic make a Zon or a barbarian. I think barbarians are the strongest Classic characters.
