D2 lod paladin builds
Skill GC's are optional but I'd recommend 3 PComb's with 12 FHR(to hit 96% FHR and beyond the 86% FHR breakpoint. Inventory: Torch&Anni(20 Stat being the more preferable attribute). Switch: CTA and Low Strength Paladin Spirit. Best in show Amulet for a reason: +2 All Skills, +5 all stats and +20-30 All Resistances. Recommend getting as high of a Dexterity Ravenfrost as you can get(ideally +20).Īmulet: Mara's Kaleidoscope. Dwarf Star gives 15% Fire Absorb and +40 to Life. Ravenfrost yields Can Not be Frozen, 15-20 Dexterity and 20% Cold Absorb. Recommend Ethereal for the extra Defense and +15 Strength.
#D2 LOD PALADIN BUILDS MOD#
Comes with an auto-repair mod allowing for an Ethereal variant. Requires 91 Strength(Ethereal only requires 81) but comes with 20% FHR, 20% FRW, +10-15 Strength&Vitality and 40-70 Poison Resist. Ideally try to get +15 Strength.īoots: Sandstorm Treks. 50 Strength requirement but gives 3 excellent mods: 25% Open Wounds, Lifetap and +10-15 Strength(Life steal doesn't do you any good on Smite). Requires 106 Strength but yields a healthy boost to Vitality, an additional 10-15% DR and 10% FHR. Socket the Armor with a Gul rune to raise the Poison cap to 95 as well.īelt: Verdungo Hearty Cord. Meaning with the hard points into the Resist Auras, you're at 95/95/95/90.
#D2 LOD PALADIN BUILDS UPGRADE#
This Unique Armor requires 118 strength(its Elite base requires 196 if you decide to upgrade it) but comes with +1 Paladin Skills, 20% Increased chance of Blocking, 30% Faster Block rate and the best mod of all +15 to all Resistance caps.
Socket CoA with 2 Ber runes(+16% DR)Ĭhest: Guardian Angel. You'll want 2 sockets and at least 13% DR. Although it requires 174 strength, it comes with +1 all skills, 2 sockets, 20-30 All Resists, 30% FHR and 10-15% DR. Socket with a Ber rune for additional 8% DR. Requires 89 Strength(142 Strength if you upgrade it) but comes with +2 Paladin Skills, +2 Combat Skills, 50 All Resists, 30% Increased chance of Blocking, 30% Faster Block rate and +20 Strength&Vitality. What you socket within it is entirely up to you but I'd recommend either a Shael(IAS), Ber(Crushing Blow), Cham(Freezes Target) or Sur(Hit Blinds target). Firstly a high base attack speed(since its a Phase Blade) but also 25% Lightning Absorb! Due to this build's defensive nature, this all but makes you a god against anything that unleashes a Lightning attack. Requires 136 Dexterity but has two exceptional qualities. Rest of the points I would put into Smite to make a "Defensive Smiter". This will grant you a huge boost to Blocking and Defense.Ģ0 Defiance <- merely a defensive synergy boost to Holy Shieldġ0 Resist Fire <- early game can be used to boost Resistance, else bumps max cap by 5ġ0 Resist Cold <- early game can be used to boost Resistance, else bumps max cap by 5ġ0 Resist Lightning <- early game can be used to boost Resistance, else bumps max cap by 5Ĥ Prerequisites(Smite, Charge, Holy Bolt, Blessed Hammer)ĩ4/110 points, meaning you're technically done by level 83 with all skill quests completed. It will not only boost your resistances but also that of your friends, making it an ideal aura for Hardcore or in Uber Tristram for Mephisto.Ģ0 Holy Shield <- This is the only combat skill you will max. If you want damage, go with a different Paladin build or with a different class altogether.Ģ0 Salvation <- This aura you will have on 24/7, hence the name behind the build. 2) It's a Defensive build, so its not meant to dish out tons of damage. Under no circumstances would I PvP with this and this build would violate GM Duel rules anyway(due to resist/absorb caps). For those of you that have a JSP account, you're welcome to post this on JSP if you feel its good enough to be among its many builds/guides.īefore I start, I must stress two things. A link to its original conception can be found here. Felt like giving this build its own topic and with a bit more in-depth explanation.
