Hey everyone, decided to try to optimize a build i theorycrafted in season 8 closed beta and see how far it could push. Turned out pretty good actually.
Armory : projectdiablo2...
Build Synopsis
Skills
Blessed hammer - 20
Concentration - 20
Vigor - 20
Joust - 20
Blessed Aim - Rest of points
Character Items
2 pally sk 20 fcr circlet with 2 os [Socketed with 2x 15 ias 3 MAEK jewel) : The ias is mainly for hitting the 78 attack speed breakpoint for faster jousting. Mana after kill is for mana of course.
Akarat Devotion Cast on Strike - Playing on strike with innocence armor procs much more hammers when you telestomp than cast on casting.
Innocence armor - To proc on striking
Arachnid Mesh - For skills and fcr to hit max fcr BP
BK ring with mana steal - Mana steal is actually better than MAEK for this build, since we will be jousting a lot, we get back alot of mana through that.
FCR with HFD ring - For fcr and cannot be frozen when paired with boots.
2 sk 20 fcr ammy
Tri res with HFD boots
Alma negra - For reduction to joust CD
CTA on holy shield base - To save skill points
Lightning Merc items
Azurewrath - For"Chance to cast holy light on striking" and sanctuary aura.
Innocence - For Bladeshield
Lava Gout - For enchant fire (to increase my character attack rating since i'm running innocence)
Verdungo
Shadow dancer - For curse resistance
Ferocity - For taunt
Exile shield - For defiance aura and decripy on striking
General playstyle
With quickcast, i leave my vigor on right and concentration on left, and i cast my joust/hammers, so when i stop jousting or casting hammers, it will default back to vigor. With the newly added "chance to cast holy light on striking", i no longer need to rely on prayer aura for sustain, and thus i'm running the static merc instead for the sweet 15% hp reduction. Max block and max res is a must as im generally be relying on taunt + decripy procs for safety as im not running any PDR on my gears. With holy shield and defiance aura, i have very high defense, so mobs hardly hit me.
Sustain
With enough MAEK and Mana steal on gears, i can telestomp with worrying about my mana. Thanks to joust, you can generate mana from mana steal despite being a caster but mana steal alone isn't enough to sustain the high amount of mana usage so both MAEK and mana steal are important.
Not running any LAEK, but hp sustain comes from holy light from merc and lifesteal from BK ring. (Joust)
The mercenary can be squishy, hence you can also heal your merc using your own holy light if it gets low.
