While they were introduced in the original Diablo game expansion, Hellfire, runewords didn't come back until Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction, which re-introduced Runes into the game. Though establishing a build is part and parcel of any RPG set up, Diablo expands it further with the ability to create and set runewords, giving you additional effects. I never played Zealot myself but this one is usually the clear meta build if you don't run hammers.Following Diablo 2 builds allows you to get the most out of your chosen class. If you play with other ppl they'll adore you for running conviction aura (which drops monster elemental resistance and even breaks immunities).Īnd you have Zealot with (probably) physical dmg. It is a 'click the monster until it's dead' playstyle which is relatively easy to play in your first playthrough. Vengeance deals 3 element and physical damage so you'll never face any monster in the game that is immune to your attacks. That said I personally do not like hammerdin at all.Īuradin is more of a group buff thing with high end gear so I'd rule it out

Stick to your build until you clear act2 maggot lair before respeccing to Hammer if you want to play hammerdin. Which builds do you guys recommend for a casual player? I don't expect that I'll be really intense about PvP later but a duel here and there might be fun. Been playing since release and am only level 40. I play casually so just levelling another paladin isn't really in the cards. I don't want to mess around with builds and trying this and that too much because then I've only got one respec after this one and that's it. I already used my normal respec to do the fire aura + zeal build and am looking to use my nightmare respec now. I still don't really ever use my hammers and find that they're kind of annoying (they quickly drain mana and are only useful, I find, when facing packs of undead). I levelled with a fire aura + zeal build then once I hit level 28 or so I started putting points into hammers and vigor. This is very likely due to gear since a lot of it is still from normal, but my build is also a bit weird. I'm just about to fight nightmare Andariel and my paladin is feeling a bit mushy.
