I-Need-Pally-Build

[intriGue]

So far i know i need that hammer move as well as its 2 synergies(1 off aura and 1 def aura) but i dont know what after i spend those 60 skill pts. Drop me a message or link me (sorry im double posting, but im lazy >.<)

[FarvaRules]

well what kind of pally are you making?

[Shihan]

Hammerdin I think. 20 Blessed Hammer, 20 Vigor, 20 Blessed Aim, 20 Concentration, then whatever you want with the rest.

[KeeSe]

ok this is my "hammerdin" (a pala who uses hammers) build. it worked out really ****ing good and was kinda cheap to build.

i am making this guide now.. just writing what i know

i maxed these skills:

concentration (offensive aura that boosts damage of hammers A LOT, it has to be activated!

blessed aim (synergi)

vigor (synergi + u can run really fast ^^ )



the stat points:

u would want to get only the strength required for the gear. check what this is BEFORE you make the pally..!

dexterity must be enough to have 75% (max) chance to block!

vitality: ALL SPARE POINTS!!! makes u survive dude

energy: i'd say maybe 10-20 maybe more. depending if u have enough mana



so.. the equipment (definitely the hardest and most needed part of the build)


im gonna make one "poor-peoples-build" and one for the "wealthy" ones


poor:

headgear: peasant crown (war hat?)
armor: silks of the victor / guardian (guardian is more expensive, but heck its worth it)
weapon 1: wizardspike (u can easily afford)
weapon 2: dont need
gloves: gamefist for faster cast, but i recomment frostburn for mana
shield: any rare pally shield with res and good block
boots: waterwalk or any boots will do
ring 1: any +mana +fastercastrate and that kind of stuff
ring 2: same goes here (or manald if you run low on mana
amulet: i would say any rare amulet with good stats


so for the rich people:

headgear: shako
armor: this one is up for discussion i'd say.. i STRONGLY recomment guardian angel (tell ya l8er why)!! but i'd say for MF and such matters, have an enigma in your stash.
weapon 1: wizardspike (for resistance) otherwise, the very popular HOTO runeword
weapon 2: Call to arms, gives you warcries, this is jst gr8
shield: no doublt here, herald fo zakarum
gloves: rare with fastercast mana that kinda stuff, or frostburn
boots: ok this might be a surprise, but i'd say tearhaunch!!
ring 1: well this is easy, SoJ of course!
ring 2: SoJ?? sure
amulet: maras if you need more res, but i use seraphs hymn



socketing:

socketing should be made after what u need. socket with ist runes if you want MF and with other things such as jewels with life/mana that kinda shit
socket with UM runes if u need res



explanations:
i say guardian because: you get 90 all res in hell !!!
i say tearhaunch because: +10 all res (great) and +2 to vigor, our synergy to hmmers



tactics: try and achieve 90 all res in hell, cuz this has made me survive A LOT. since elemental damage of enemies was boosted in 1.10 you need more res. try to get your hands some um runes to socket with if you dont meed 90 all res.
with 90 all res and a lot in vitality (maybe giving you an 1500-3000 life pool ) will make u a greater tank than most berbarians. and with BO from your (if you have it) CTA you get maybe 5000-8000 life something and more defence. about defence, you WILL have enough i tel you, both guardian and zakarum has good defence, and the paladin has good shield handeling and with your 75% chance to block u dont get hit m8.


it's getting kinda l8 (late, for u slow ppl and im not very keen on keep writing this. so i'll just tell you the usual. get an act 2 holy freeze merc with and (hopefully wthreal) tomb reaver and vampire gaze and maybe shaft for armor.. good luck. and may the blessing of the hammers watch over you, or whatever.

for damage i would say anything above 5000-6000 / hammer is really good. and most people following this build will end up alot above that. 8000 is great, 10k is fricking outrageous and yes, i've heard about people making over 20k damage but dunno if i believe that.

anyway for charms. get combat skillers and offensive aura. and of course, annihilus. and gheeds if u get financial troubles

cant figure out more to say, so, have a good time with the greatest build in d2 history.
good night ya'll


/ this so called "guide" was written by KeeSe (Europe) from sweden on.. um. what date is it?? somewhere near the end of april i'd guess my date on the computer is wrong ^^
so anyways, plz dont steal the guide blahblah whatever the rest goes here.
good night folks, c u l8er

[FarvaRules]

Nice work man...way to take the time to contribute.

[Shihan]

Friend has 14k hammers. But otherwise, nice build.

[Wintermute]

Good contribution

id say

Max concentrate and the synergies
Max blessed hammer and the synergies
Max holy shield and the synergies

Stats:
Enough str for items u gonna use
Base dex if you can (or you need to pump it up i forgot)
150 mana around
And pump vitality

I dont know if my stat build is correct it may be that you need to pump dex and vit

[Shihan]

...
There are no syngergies for concentration.

[dragonXX]

i personally dont like pallys but hammers and Foh pallys dont depend on their weapon as much so it doesnt decide what damage amout ull do thats why i like necros and sorcs

[KeeSe]

i'm gonna rewrite my build a little, cuz my pally is working so great. i can almost solo a baalrun with 8 ppl in
so im gonna get going now, im posting it on a new thread called "KeeSe's Immortal Hammerdin" check it out and give feedback plz!! c u d00ds

'

I thought plus to skills doesnt add to synergy?

[wilwil]

i think +skill doesn't add to synergy
synergy is count if you really invest point into the skills

[¥ØÐÅ]

ive never made a pally before i dunno y. maybe i should try one sometime.....maybe not. i dunno u guys think i should?

[._| 3 Vv |3]

ok... this is the thing..+trees don't add synergie dmg... + all skills and +char skills do.... and for a hammerdin u max:
Blessed Hammer: 20
Vigor:20
Blessed Aim:20
Concentration:20
Blessed Shield:20
Defiance:20(you'll max this at lvl 98, so make it the last u start building up)

use shako, hoto, upg'd hoz (if ur on ladder), silkweaves, enigma wyrmhide, maras, 1 soj, arachnid, fcr/pris/life rare ring, cta as 2ndary w/another hoz... and fill ur inventory w/combat gc's and an anni...... this should get u about 14-15k i think... gl
