Thank you for this! Also of note: Normal: Stats: 1 point into dex for scimitar, rest into vitality. High priority items: shop Act 1 2 socket scimitar for TirEl (Steel), 2 socket armor for TalEth (Stealth), 2 socket helm for NefTir (Nadir) or RalRal / TirTir / etc. Shop Act 2 for 3 socket shield (or find Paly shield) for RalOrtTal (Ancient's ledge). Scepter with +hammers (lvl 18) or +FCR. Items with ar/dmg/life/res/ias/fhr, +fcr (for casting hammers). Act 3 shop for staff with teleport charges - easiest at under 20 I think. Nightmare (level 18+): Stats: str: to 50, dex: enough for max block with holy shield, energy: to 35 for hammers, Items: better belt (res, fhr), boots (res, frw), gloves (res/life), helm OrtSol (Lore), armor: TalEth (Stealth), NefLum (Smoke), Vipermagi, sword: 4 socket sword TalThulOrtAmn (Spirit) - farm normal cows for sword that can have at least 4 sockets (Crystal/Long/etc - check str requirements) and go to Larz (unless you find one that already has 4 sockets). Shield: 4 socket paly shield - also Spirit - farm Nightmare for shield. Rings: +fcr (with res if possible),

Great guide but I would def not respec to hammerdin at 18, since you will probably be on the second half of Act 2 by then and your hammers dont deal very well with walls on the tombs. Also, Holy Fire will still be absolutely demolishing everything by then and your mana regen isn't very good. It can literally brick your character and make you unable to progress. Maybe advance into the Holy fire build until it stops being good and then respec when you have some gear.

@Poisonfoot1151
3 жыл бұрын
I generally like your guides @MrLlamaSC, but this paladin has some flaws. Blessed aim is the absolute worst synergy to level first, you will never equip it as your aura. You should be maxing blessed hammer and any extra points on vigor, because vigor you can actually use to run around. The order for leveling hammerdin skills should be hammers, vigor, blessed aim, concentration in solo, and hammers, concentration, vigor, blessed aim if playing with friends who will greatly benefit from your aura. Consider putting 1 point into redemption to heal quickly after fights, and 1 point into salvation if you and/or your party has resist issues by hell diablo. If you're going to respec at 18, you can easily just swing what you find / vendor scepter with your lvl 1 might to that and skip the zeal, or find a scepter at vendors with zeal on it at 12, so you don't need to respec and just build towards hammerdin, using lvl 1 might to 18 and just get the pre-requisites for b hammer, concentration, vigor, holy shield. While I can see the value of holy fire zeal early on for a speedrunner, the amount of time saved 1-18 for someone who intends to play hammerdin isn't worth the respec. Another thing you should have covered with hammerdin is that you should be getting holy shield at 24 and having charge when it becomes available in preparation for it. Charge+vigor is the best way to move around without enigma/tele charges both while going through the game and in end-game, and once you have dual spirit, you can afford the mana cost of charge easily. Holy shield short duration at level 1 is annoying, but once you have spirit x2 it's well worth keeping up, and around the level holy shield becomes available, you should be farming your spirits anyway. Arguably at low level when everyone casts slow, in open areas, charge is comparable to teleport and is amazing for finding the next A2 or A3 area. The power of hammerdin is that you can level as hammerdin from the start, as scepters do very high base damage so just having lvl 1 might on your way to concentration and swinging your scepter will get you to 18. I highly recommend TirTir helmet or 3Tir shield + 2x sapphire helmet early on (you're farming norm countess for Tal/Eth for Stealth anyway, might get some Tirs), it will do wonders for you at 18 when you start casting hammers, and this goes for any mana-hungry character. Keep TalThulOrtAmn (Spirit) and RalTirTalSol (Insight merc) if they happen to drop while farming your stealth, otherwise farm them in nightmare countess anyway. And Lore helm you covered. For insight, same as spirit sword, 4 sockets poleaxe drops in norm cows or has the level to give exactly 4 sockets at Larzuk. Another note on zeal, in regards to staying on 2 hits, consider that having more hits on zeal does not cost more mana, and also "casts" the mana cost slower since it takes longer to hit 5 times. 5-hit zeal both has significantly more damage output and better mana efficiency, well worth the 5 hit animation lock. If you're going to go to the route of zeal respec into hammers, you may as well keep zeal until you make your spirit sword and spirit shield in nightmare using whatever weapons you find. With double spirit, hammerdin you will have skipped the mana issues that hammerdins have to deal with at low level. Zeal is the most powerful (and I dare say most fun) melee skill in the game levels 1-29 and can get you through norm efficiently. Again, scepters in the game have very high base damage compared to other 1hand weapons and are found at vendors.

He's showing it in chronological order, when he first puts those points into blessed aim in the video he wouldn't be lvl 18 with spare points for vigor because he's maxing blessed hammer first. Of course Vigor will be maxed before Blessed aim from then on but he can't put points into it before that point because you have limited points for two lvl 18 skills at that point. Also 5hit animation lock for leveling as Zeal at a ladder start feels so much worse than putting a single point into it if you're choosing what you kill efficiently and not just mindlessly full clearing.

Maybe spend most of it hard-points before some gear, and respec after anni+torch etc for more vit. I still think respecing at 18 is just silly though.

I did the exact same thing as you with the same result. Unless you want to re-roll and delay the respec until later (late 20s at a minimum), you'll just need to switch your weapons and straight melee for a while - especially since at 18 you might be in the spider dens which have NO room for hammers to twirl. It ruins the game for a little while, but you'll be ok mid Act 3 or so. Hammers take a while to get used to (you have to change your gameplay / movement as well) and Act 2 is a terrible time to do it.

Vigor is natually your primary mobility tool pre-enigma. Concentration probalby because its an outside modifier to damage - each point in synergies provides a static % of damage, meaning that the more points you spend the less relative gain, while concentration just multiplies the end value. Additionally, in any form of group play if there are other players able to benefit from auras, concentration will naturally be better.

Then he goes off on listing all these runes that I barely find in the first 20 levels, Gold items listed that are rare drops, etc. I liked how he broke down level by level on the skills but the attributes became a joke to me. Then after saying put ONE point in Dex....."moving on to nightmare" and then he proceeds to drop all the points into STR that he initially said not to worry too much about it

How long do you keep blessed aim? When can you start only using hammers?
@PatLovesTacos

If you're specced into hammers you'll only use hammer in left click with concentration as an aura on right click. Blessed aim is just a synergy to blessed hammer but doesn't actually work with blessed hammer. Only concentration aura works for whatever reason.

I think the biggest downside of this guide is that you don't explain which aura to use when and how. At the start with Zeal, Holy Fire and Resist Fire are the only auras to use so it's not too bad. But then to go over Concentrate, Blessed Aim, and Vigor plus a few more, but don't explain when to use which aura when. Other than that, great start guide!

Concentrate when Casting Hammers. Vigor for running around when not fighting. Blessed Aim Never; its just for the passive bonus damage to hammers.

@@TioMagic I don't know what you've read but in game or in any skill calculator put one point in blessed hammer, observe the damage listed, then put one point in blessed aim and look at the blessed hammer damage. It increases. They don't call it a 'passive' in game terms they call it a 'synergy'. But either way it's termed its a passive damage boost.

with all due respect..im not sure u why some u guys are always saying not to put any into strength?! EVERYBODY who is playing the game the normal way needs to have strength pretty badly as they are leveling up...especailly if they eventually want to run spirit by the time they hit their 50s...but strength itself is crucial when u start the game its always what i invest in...who needs to invest into life that much? i put a little bit here in there into vitality but i focus on that once i pretty much got all my strength..and THEN i respec..usually sometimes even you will need DEX but thats a different story

Blessed Hammers are so random though, how do you consistently kill enemies with that? Or do you just let your merc handle it if they get too close?

They are not random, they always spawn from the same angle so you just need to learn where to position yourself so that your hammer instantly hit the enemies when you cast them

I've put too much into dex. I'm level 70, just hit like 155 dex (with stealth) and am only at 74% block chance. I only put 1 point in holy shield because I have +5 to skills on gear. When I respec, I'll have to put 2 points and put the spare dex in to vitality. Then I'll have to use my 3rd respec when I get some +skills charms and save even more dex points for vitality.

Was in a D2 discord with a Troll who was like "Why do people watch streamers, D2 is easy just put STR for gear that's it" Then he continued later to admit to only being rushed through content for hell forges, and then admitted to using a bot. It really is tragic the difference in skill and knowledge between the people who know diablo and the people who think they "played" diablo. Can't wait to kill Baal on hell day 1 while these trolls sit in chat begging to be rushed :D Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Perfect timing! Have just gotten to the end of normal on my pally, a bit twinked because I've been playing a lot of blizzards sorc and keeping everything. Been absolutely cruising, but now things are slowing down with the zeal/holy fire. Was wondering what to do next.

@@justchill4297 I'd have to agree with Brandon there, do it if you want experiment. I will say you'll run into immunity problems in nightmare though if you don't have a really good weapon. Typically the aura builds like holy shock and holy fire work well with fast weapons so I'm not sure the physical damage on those weapons will be enough, but you might be able to surpass that with a good merc with might aura.

I would've added getting a Teleport Staff to the list and explained that the easiest way to get it is in A3 Normal being level 23. But I guess thats more of a general thing since it applies to every class sans Sorc. I would also add how big Strangling Gas Potions are the first 12ish levels, they speed up Countess running by a lot. Also, you should consider making an Ancients Hell guide that covers the basic strat with each class and the different AI exploits, I know a lot of people struggle with that part of the game.
