I think what makes Diablo 2 so great is what you covered in the first 5 minutes in this video. There are so many different ways to build these characters. So many different ways and combinations to playthrough this game.
Vengeance Paly was my first ever D2 LOD build. I’ve always hated that it doesn’t get the love it deserves. It will never be OP and extremely fast, but it’s completely self-sufficient, safe, and successful.
@ogolthorp right there is that too. It is easier to make a spirit shield for paladin. Big boost to paladin survivability. And with vengeance you kill so slow you are more vulnerable.
Good timing MrLlama, I wanted to start this build from brand new character and not give him items, and recently I am playing only "no runes" run till I finish Hell, after that, it doesn't matter. Game is actually lot more fun when you don't use these broken runewords, because then you actively keep looking for good gear ,especially for melee builds (Zealot, any Barb, etc), because finding a good weapon is actually a b1tch. You really either have to grind or upgrade weapons via cube.
I never make it to the live streams anymore so this video is how I found out about TWO kids? Congrats on the most recent addition! Has chat named this one yet? Is baby Lilith excited to be a big sis?

33:32 See this is how effective Holy Fire aura is.
(Hope they are all ok )
Effective outside the Diablo realm.., putting evil on fire. Lmao

1 hand with shield vs 2 hand for vengeance paladin?
There’s probably niche situations where you could use obedience runeword, but 99% of the time a non chargeadin paladin will use 1H weapon
@@blank5210 okay thanks. yea shield for resists and other stats seems more useful and can block enemy attacks too.
Paladins especially love shields because they can get spirit with all res pretty early.

Nice discussion of this topic starting at 40:00 into this video. 👍

My favorite kind of paladin!
Llama should take one completed paladin and make a play through of builds that make sense after level 75. Like Dragondin, Tesladin
you playing that Pathtuah?
Does flat element damage scale with veng? Example 10-20 fire small charms
It does not scale. The bonus damage as fire/cold/light from the skill scales directly with physical damage. You’ll want max damage charms
Llama's minions have lots of diapeees!! Thank you for the D2R for dummies, I'm a dummy, Thank You Sir!!!
I wonder, why malice over steel? I somehow always preferred TirEl for added AS and othe stuff
He talks about it in the video but the raw dmg and +min/max malice gives is better then the attack speed from steel
@@xbraekdownx I always looked at it as DPS, not the cap dmg tho
Steel is still weaker, but the AS "feels" better imo @ostankovalex1176
I always drop the shield and drop the sword and just use my hands when I have Holy X.
One thing I Noticed (at least with paladin) you literally don't need any points into the DEX for all of act 1.

congrats to Moogirl on the 2nd baby. but are your neighbors ok?
Cold resist on normal act 2? I didn't know that's even possible xD
My oven is broken and I can't cook the potatoes!!!!!!!
