I didn’t find the damage output impressive (for the investment), and, he really liked health/mana/rejuv’s… It was a lot of farming/trading and a few gifts invested into something that was, to me… meh. Now, I like to smash monsters, so that is how I was playing… maybe avoiding monsters and running around in circles would have been better, but, why have zeal if that’s what you’re going to do? No points in holy fire, as, I had Dragon armor/shield and Hand of Justice. Maxed fire resist, salvation… conviction, holy shield and zeal, sacrifice were heavily invested into… and I always run some cleansing and redemption. Although he is only able to have one activated at a time (assuming he does not use an aura-on-equip rune word to overlap auras), they can be a tide turner in many battles where vital attributes such as resistance or mana (for spellcasters) are lacking.I made one when my character was lvl85-ish… maybe 82-ish… don’t recall exactly. The most notable ability of a Paladin is his ability to use offensive or defensive auras to either augment his allies or weaken his enemies. Also, they can be a real help when you use them for your own advantage in duels. The only downside is that they need expensive gear, but they help a lot when they are on your team. Zealot: fast attack and capable of striking multiple enemies at once (or one enemy multiple times).Īuradins, Chargers and FoHers are mostly duelers rather than PvM (Player versus Monster).

Smiter: less adept at crowd control, but uses Crushing Blow to melt act bosses, uniques, and even the Ubers.Hammerdin: Teleports into the thick of the enemy and wipes out packs using the radial damage of Blessed Hammer (very good for magic finding).FoHer ( Fist of the Heavens): using Conviction aura and 'FoH' to kill his enemies.Charger: attacks well and can beat casters in one hit (most of the time).Avenger: uses Vengeance as his main attack to add elemental damage.The Paladin is a powerful character against monsters and bosses, and against other characters if you are using a Hammerdin.
