Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction has 7 different character types players can choose from. But right now were going to focus on one in general, the Paladin. The Paladin can be made to deal many different types of damage. But right now we are going to focus on a type of Paladin named the Zealot. This specific build of Paladin uses the skill zeal to lay waste to his foes.
Equipment for your Zealot Paladin
Helm- Dream Helm (Io + Jah + Pul) Level 15 Holy Shock Aura is granted by this which will increase your damage output as a Zealot.
Armor/Chestpiece- Fortitude (Runeword El + Sol + Dol + Lo) enhanced damage 300%, extra life, resistances and what not. A perfect fit for a Zealot that is going to be in the middle of the fight.
Shield(1)- Ethereal Exile Vortex shield (Io + Jah + Pul) this shield gives good resistances, freezed targets and it also gives 2 to offensive auras. Great shield for a Zealot.
Shield(2)- Monarch Spirit(Runeword Tal + Thul + Ort + Amn) also a perfect secondary shield due to skill points and and resistances.
Weapon(1) - Last Wish Berserker Axe (Sur + Cham + Amn + Lo) Grants a passive Might aura that will drastically increase your damage output. It also ignores your targets defense.
Weapon(2) - Flail Call To Arms(Runeword Amn + Ral + Mal + Ist + Ohm) is by far the best secondary weapon for any character. it allows any character to cast Battle Orders, Battle Command, and Battle Cry. Those shouts grant +1 to skills and drastically increase your health and mana.
Belt- Verdungo's Hearty Cord (Unique item) is the best belt for a Zealot. it adds good life which increases survivability and also it decreases damage done to you by 15%. All around good belt for an Zealot.
Rings(both) - Bul Kathos (Unique Item) and Raven Frost (Unique Item) for +1 to skills and life leech, and also some dexterity and attack rating.
Amulet - HighLord's Wrath(Unique Item) gives 1 to all skills and increased attack speed, also grants deadly strike based on character skill level.
Boots - Gore Rider(Unique Item) for crushing blow, deadly strike and open wounds.
Gloves- Dracul’s Grasp (Unique Item) Fantastic life leech. Will help you a lot when you are eating your foes alive. They will drastically increase your survivability during large fights.
Skills to upgrade for maximum effeciency
+20 Sacrifice
+20 Zeal
+20 Holy Shield
+20 Defiance Aura
+20 Fanaticism Aura
the rest can go into what ever you desire. Prerequisites will also take up a few skill points.
Stat Points
Now that we know what skills to max out for a Zealot, we must now go on to the stat points.
Strength = Enough to use all your gear. (NO MORE)
Dexterity = Enough for max block while Holy Shield is active.
Vitality = Rest of stats into this.
Energy = None
Inventory Items
What your going to want in your inventory is 9 Grand charms that grant +1 to Combat Skills.
A hellfire torch that gives +3 to Paladin Skills, and an Annialus small charm that give resistances and +1 to all skills.
Conclusion
With all the gear listed above you should be damn well prepared for hell difficulty and you should have no trouble destroying all enemies in your path. If you find yourself dying quickly get resistance small charms to up your survivability. You might also need Attack Rating charms. With this build u will have might aura, defiance aura and fanatacism aura popped at the same time. Enjoy
