D2R Ladder 2 FOH Paladin Build Gameplay Tips

Fist of Heavens is our sole offensive ability. The targeted foes take some Lightning damage, then you unleash a barrage of Holy Bolts, each doing 5,000 magic damage and allowing you to rapidly clear a large area. You won't have much success against other monster kinds since Holy Bolt exclusively harms Undead and Demons. The other side is that farming Chaos Sanctuary on 8-player difficulty is a breeze.

Teleportation remains the most popular mode of transportation. In order to utilize teleport switches, you need to equip an Enigma, or if it is out of your price range, an amulet or an Ondal's Wisdom staff. The build may easily hit the 125% FCR maximum breakpoint, while 75% is recommended to meet the 10 frame teleport casting breakpoint.

The survival rate of FOH Paladins is consistently high. The protection they get from Holy Shield is sufficient against melee and ranged assaults, and they can easily get to 75% of all resistance. Since Holy Bolts continuously heal you, you don't need any equipment bonuses like % damage mitigation or elemental absorption. If that weren't enough, utilize the aura of Redemption and redeem almost every dead person you come across to restore 200 life and mana. The inclusion of any extra item that increases one's chance of survival is a pleasant bonus. Wearing a Stormshield, which reduces damage taken by %, is a good idea if you're playing on Hardcore and want to stay alive no matter what happens. In addition, the ability to use Call to Arms as a switching weapon is useful.

You can run Chaos Sanctuary on high difficulty with a group of eight players and not need a single healer. Probably no other build in the game can achieve it as well as the FOHdin. Everyone at the party will adore you because of how quickly they can level up. You may also employ Auras of Conviction, Salvation, or Fanaticism to help your cause.

Equipment with magic discovery will not hinder your ability to slay creatures. Compared to other magic finding builds (with the exception of sorts), this one has a potential magic find% of about 600%. However, it's possible you won't want to dial down your damage output during 8-player games.
