Auradin/Avenger Paladin

[ArcaneSupremacy]

Thats not the point dude. I'm look for an alternative character. Everybody has a zealer. I want something that people will be like "Wow sweet ass character man. It owns". Nobody says that when the get owned by a zealer. Its only by the alternative characters, like werebear sorceress, or singer barbarian. I wanted something more fun to make as well. Also in your calculations you forgot to consider the fact that vengance will also add about 600% lightning damage( fully synergized), 300% cold damage, and 450% fire damage. Thats in addition to your normal attack then your active aura damage is added on top of that and then the bonuses from conviction take place...

I haven't seen anyone who uses both zeal and stacked elemental auras with conviction. Have you?

Those damage multipliers don't hurt as much as you think they do. You'd be lucky to get 8.8k average damage per hit, or 17.6k with conviction.

By the way, are you on West NL? I do have a few items that you mentioned.

sounds interesting... but what exactly is "vengence" ?

It's a level 18 paladin combat skill that adds elemental damage to your attack.

Sorry ArcaneSupremacy I'm USEast non-ladder. I'm going to make this build and if it hits 12k damage I'm going to make a guide for anyone inerested. And about your post, alot of people use charge if they are stacking auras cause charge deals some serious damage. But my friend has a zealer/ Fist of Heavens build.

He wears Dream, HOTO for casting and EBOTDZ for melee and his mercenary uses Cresent Moon. Quick question. If he wore a Cresent Moon as well, would the -35% enemy lightning resist stack?

His inventory is filled with poison charms. He maxed skills for a normal Fist of Heavens paladin, but add some more points to Zeal. For casters he just uses Fist of Heavens and for melee he zaps them until they are close enough for him to use zeal. It's really a good build but you need the right gear I'm pretty sure. His Fist of Heavens does around 5k damage and his Zeal does around 200-4000 damage.

I guess I could help you out with that build if you wanted to make it but I'm mostly concerning myself with my aura/avenger paladin right now.

Thanks for all your help guys.

I was refering to average damage, which is (min+max)/2. 12k max damage is more than likely, especially with eBotDz, but whether or not your min damage can get that high is questionable. Please do share your build if it does though.

And about your post, alot of people use charge if they are stacking auras cause charge deals some serious damage.

That's none other than the typical Auradin that I see once every couple of days. It's nothing that a bit of stacked resistances and good blocking can't handle. In fact, I think their lower defense makes them more vulnerable to Charge themselves. They can totally wipe out most casters though.

But my friend has a zealer/ Fist of Heavens build.

Hmm...did he happen to write a guide on it and name it the "HeavensZealot"?

If he wore a Cresent Moon as well, would the -35% enemy lightning resist stack?

I don't think anything on your merc stacks with what's on the player, except MF.

That is all. Best of luck to you on your build!

Thanks for answering some of my questions. No my friend didn't write a guide. But if you wanted one I would be able to relay his information to a guide.

And as for my paladin build the avergae damage will easily hit 12k. Not counting conviction aura into that either. Your forget that I maxed Veangaence, Resist Lightning, a few into Resist Cold, and more into Resist Fire. Plus added damage from active item auras. Plus I have around a level 20+ Might aura to add more damage. Damage isn't the concern with this build. My main concern is if I can even hit them.

And as for a Charge aura paladin I'd say the best counter would be a Concentrate Barbarian. If you built one just to counter Chargers, you could maxe Iron Skin, Concentrate, Shout, Battle Orders, then the rest into Natural Resistance. You'd be able to with stand an attack because of mad defense and high resistances. Plus using concentrate raises defense even more with a good damage bonus.
