If you're going the 3 piece Trang-Oul's route, I'd consider going hoto + spirit for that +5 all skills. It will boost the Firewall damage up by a lot as the paladin weapon and shield only gives +pala skills. Also for bosses, at certain FCR breakpoints your Holy Bolt will probably be dealing more DPS over FoH so the FCR from Hoto + Spirit might help reach those break points, though I haven't tested it myself.
Someone recommended using the Dragonscale Shield, with +skills you can have 6 hydras out that melt stuff with your conviction aura. That is a super cool merc idea though, really neat. I do like the idea of the Dragonscale shield more though since Hydra's don't care if the monster moves at all.
You put one point into Defiance for the Holy Shield synergy, but isn't it only hard skill points that add to synergies? +skills do not count right? Or did they change that?
Very interesting item use, I will definitely give 3 piece trangs a shot. Thanks for the upload, I hope to see more during the ladder and good luck this season gamers.
When you use rift on a merc, shoukd you not use a faster base like treasher or gt? It will proc fn more often. And ias jewels as well, since you have conviction so the additional 10%dmg isnt helping that much
When I was playing my 1st character, a sorceress, I did get at least twice the scepter with +3 foh +3 conv, I picked it, and I sold to npc in order to get enough gold to make my 1st crafted amulet, the npc gives very good price for pal weapons...
Holy Bolt not maxing 2nd prio? the reason of Foh being meta is the holy Bolt dmg.. Foh is single target ligth without demons etc.. so not maxing foh + Bolt first seems the wrong way to go, especially in the early stages. But nice builds and thoughs. Congrats.
@@Xtimus it kinda doesn’t matter which one you max depending on how your approaching game with respect to skill and gear. Good guide and different view point like what you made
@@teddygramz2008 it just depends on the person and their skill with game. You can play most of game on holy bolt and hammers and smite. When doing this I would max hammers first.
For FoH mana problems, can "easily" (if lucky or rich) find a scepter that has the 5 sockets for CTA that instead of having holy shield, having redemption aura or just sinking 1 point into that and it'll really fix much of mana issues. Quickly changing to redemption after killing mass with FoH (like in chaos due to the holy bolts are the main damage of it and it wreaks demons/undead) leaving tons of bodies around, you'll quickly regen the mana back from that killing. But sadly due to the main damage of FoH being the holy bolts over the main targets lightning damage(it is okay, just not as good as the aoe holy bolts), it really succeeds mainly for undead-demons over normal beast monsters. But at least if do go that merc set up and 3 piece trangs, that ice and fire will help there. But in places of demons-undead, it wont be as needed as the holy bolt aoe from FoH will really just destroy them. FoH pally is a crazy chaos farmer without the need of the gear of say what hammer pally needs and can clear dang close as well, just bit slower in end; mostly.
Looks cool. Fist of heavens destroy demons and undead, so they're not a problem at all. The problem was with beasts, but the new act 5 mercenary shreds through them. I just put on the holy shock aura to attack them in an area for a bit while the barb runs through them like a hot knife through butter. I was thinking of equipping him with a sword BoTD too. Should really help then a lot too. Only problem is... A zod rune in a lowly sword? Eek. But I have 1 spare, need to think real hard. 🤔
I wish all the guys who come up with these guides would start off with what the play style of said build is, how it plays and what it does and where it does best at. Does it get boring over time? Oh and is it playable at lower levels since most likely the vast majority of players never hit Nightmare level. Note this isnt just at you, its at everyone who makes these build videos and does the same thing, this just happens to be the first one I commented on.
Hello! what are your thoughts on conviction aura for Foh-din? I just found out, that the main damage output is not caused by the FoH Lightning itself, but the magic bolts which come out afterwards. This suggests that both conviction and Holy Shock Skill points as a lightning boost, do not support the main damage dealer of the Paladin itself. it could be possible that if both conviction and Holy Shock are maxed, that the FoH Lightning itself might become a sniping tool of individual enemies, but then again, I thought this is the job of the Holy Bolts (Magic) skill. without Conviction and Holy Shock, there are plenty of skill points to spare, but what where to spend those points? a whole other view is taking Merc into account, but here again I am not sure which Fanatism or Conviction Auras with different Mercs provide the best clearing speed and safety (I play HC). Appreciate any help!
I use the traditional focus of an Act 2 mercenary with insight and conviction as my main aura. However, I don't know how this would work on hardcore mode.
hey Omega, i play hc too. i have a warcry barb account so dont use cta, guessing you do too since you play hc? anyways i use Guillame's Face and gore riders, have smiter weapons on switch and use fanta aura for the light immunes and diablo. have only 1 point in conviction for group play, i dont bother with the lightning damage so only have to max the 1 synergy.
Great guide man. Currently have my paladin lv80+ in single player and will find some these items and grow from there. Foh is fun I played a bit of it when new patch 2.4 came out.
That Trang set firewall is doing sad low damage man. It’s novel but not good. I will say the Rift polearm is genius though. Love it! Could also consider using crescent moon polearm if someone comes across a good 3os eth polearm base, which are basically free since they are failed cube socket polearm byproducts. Speaking of crescent moon… it is a good weapon for the paladin as well. After conviction breaks the immunity, it drops the res. Helps a ton. Finally, there are two FCR breakpoints that need to be targeted: 1. 75 FCR to max out the speed at which you can cast FOH. Easiest way to get this is Spirit and HOTO but obviously lots of ways. 2. 125 FCR to get a really fast teleport with enigma and because for some versions of the build, holy bolt does the most damage for single target and it benefits from all that FCR. Cheers!
@@KingKoda1337 conviction only reduces resistances by 1/5th the displayed amount against monsters with immunity to the type of elemental damage in question. So, against a black soul, which has 115% lightning resist, the 150% conviction reduces it to 85% lightning resist because it only works at 1/5th the displayed value (so 30 instead of 150). Then, crescent moon applies afterward at it’s full capacity to reduce the resistance from 85 to 50%, which is really noticeable. Basically any time you use lower resist curse or conviction aura to break an immunity, you want -x% enemy resistance somewhere to supplement it. This article has more info: diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Conviction
I think the Frozen Orb adds another damage type to the Set up, he is doing Magic against Undead and Demons, Lightning, Fire and the merc does health Cold damage.
Holy shield doesnt exist on secpters in d2r nobody has found one yet. I just made a 3 foh 5/6/4 cta scepter awhile back that will hold a ton of value lol
The FoH damage really isn't the shining star of this build. Is it really worth 40 points to buff this fully up (conviction + holy shock) when the real damage is coming from the holy bolts?
It doesn't seem like the Holy Bolts from FoH do heal his merc from the video. Directly hitting him with the Holy Bolt skill does, but that's a bit wonky to worry about while you are focused on doing damage.
Planning on building to this in ladder season 2 since it starts tomorrow, thank you for the build! Have you been playing recently at all? Hope you're doing well ^^
@@Xtimus Hell yeah! I've been good, mostly busy getting platinum trophies in Souls and Souls-like games for the past year with some Diablo sprinkled in there somewhere lol. I play PS5 and my gf just snagged one so we'll play this ladder together ^^ Maybe with the new terror zones hitting 99 on ladder could be feasible for an adult without botting... Or maybe it's still a pipedream XD
The infinity from the merc won't stack with anything you do with infinity. There are better merc items to use, and I am not sure what you would use your other points on.
Why so many in Holy Shield? Dont you just want enough to where your chance to block reaches 75% ? Same with Defiance why get that? It would seem smite and Fant would be better options for a hybrid to do ubers but thats just me
If you are shouted from CTA defense starts to stack massively. You can end up with a 30% chance to be hit by a mob in hell very easily with a maxed holy shield and a few points in defiance, this is a big deal. Personally, I use a Defiance merc, and I end up with a 20% chance to be hit by a Venom Lord in CS on P8.
I do not feel it is. You need a faster hit recovery than these items provide, and there is a more fantastic set up with the Dragonscale shield which gives you Hydras from one item instead of using all this Trang stuff.
Зря поинт в защиту. Никакой синергии от скиллеров она не даст Холи щиту. Синергии работают только от вложенных вручную скилл поинтов. Далее: огненная стена того уровня, что в видео...1000 урона...серьезно? На хелле это крохи. 20+ уроверь от ледяного орба тоже такое себе. Скиллеров на него на мерке не работают (да их и нет на мерке). Разве что немного контроля даёт. В целом не плохо, особенно скипетр очень и очень хорош. Тоже пользую его для этого билда. По существу, билд хорош только против нежити и демонов. На остальных лучше не использовать. Не такой уж большой и урон по одиночным целям. Даже с конвикшн, даже с джевелами на молнию. Весь кайф скила от разлетающихся Холи болтов. Посему я предпочитаю кулак для групп мобов, а единичных мобов или боссов - священный болт. Но используя его неплохо бы поднять скорость применения заклинаний минимум 75. А лучше 125.
One thing for clarity if you guys focus on the lightning damage of FOH + conviction even with the absolute best gear and charms you will barely be hitting for 5k-6k damage. It won’t clear past players 3-5 easily. You won’t be one shotting much of anything 😐
@@kristopherleslie8343 FOH is meant to be farmed in specific areas, chaos, the pit, arcane sanc, trav, mephy, pindle, Baals throne, FOH is insane when farmed in the proper areas
I upgraded my zak but the str requirement went up to like 142 when i did it.. did i do something wrong or get unlucky? i have a token but i'm hesitant to put so much into str..
@@Xtimus I realised shortly after that I'm just ignorant lol wish I had one in ladder. Hope your grind is going well, I'm half way through 92 on my foh still running two spirit haha
4:15 what do you mean by "upgrading the unique shield Herald of Zakarum" - what happens exactly with the shield if you use the recipe Ko+Lem+Perfect Diamond? D2 wiki says that the Elite Version of the Unique Herald of Zakarum shield is the Dragonscale and it has completely different stats and no +2 Skills and no +2 to Paladin Skills which I dont understand why anybody should go for it. also your shield is still showing "Herald of Zakarum"
When u upgrade a unique it just turns it into the higher base, it doesnt change it into the higher unique. So upgrading hoz just makes it a hoz zakarum shield thus boosting it's def.
Attention console players: does anyone know how to stop your character from automatically casting holy bolt/FoH/running towards your merc? When I try to look stuff when a group of monsters or my merc is nearby, my pally automatically targets them, no matter what button i change loot to, and x always does this even if it has no skill on it
While I think it’s cool to use Trang’s, all you have to do is use 20 points into FOH, Holy Bolt, Blessed Hammer, Vigor, then put 1 point into all other wonders including just 1 in concentration and dump the rest of points into Blessed Aim. That clears the whole game and nothing is immune to you without needing a specific set. But if you dig the mage type class yes tossing some firewall is dope while you can :)
@@dvdgamingthings289 It does 18,558 dps with conviction including the bolts, but 16,272 of that is lightning, I calculate all my damage based on Diablo. In essence you would be nerfing yourself without conviction. You can just go with using Holy Bolts I suppose, but for smite you lose a lot in higher player count games even if you have high Crushing Blow (it's based on the monster's base health at P1) but there is not a lot of room for crushing blow on a caster paladin. More damage from conviction comes in his case from the Firewall, and in the spec I want to use it comes from Hydras.
1 of the guys that doesn´t have any idea about Paladin XD first you go hoto because of the fcr and resistance compared with enigma, you never go Ormus because it´s just boosting up your light dmg, but your holy bolts from foh does the dmg. 2nd never ever go trang ouls !!!! i mean never !!!! you just lose so much dmg without shaco (for dmg mf) or griff for the fcr, and belt you simply go arach for dmg and fcr ! gloves i would allways use magefist for the mana :). Amu you go for a 3pc 100l amu or smth you got enoggh resistance from hoto and zaka. And your merc use infy so nn to put in rbf facets just put in ist runes for mf or ber runes for dr
In this case he uses Firewall also, and I use Hydra, so Ormus helps both the Lightning, which is not useless damage (16,272 Dps with my setup against Hell Diablo).
There is so much wrong with this video.... 1. The FoH build revolves around the Holy Bolts, not the lightning damage. What kind of PvM build pushes so hard to max out damage on a single target ability with a cool down? 2. You are using lightning facets AND trying to get conviction to -150%. It's like you don't understand why that number is chosen in the first place. 3. Why in God's name would you advise people to up their HoZ? That's only (barely) necessary for a smiter. You're asking people to put almost an extra 100 (?) hard points in strength for nothing. Delete this. Do you even play D2?

If your playing this as a pure FOH caster it’s going to be slower than a hybrid build and you won’t complete game 😐
While I think it’s cool to use Trang’s, all you have to do is use 20 points into FOH, Holy Bolt, Blessed Hammer, Vigor, then put 1 point into all other wonders including just 1 in concentration and dump the rest of points into Blessed Aim. That clears the whole game and nothing is immune to you without needing a specific set.
But if you dig the mage type class yes tossing some firewall is dope while you can :)
Too focused on lite dmg. Magic damage is where it gets its power
Agree lite dam is shit I don't even build conviction waste of 20 points
@@dvdgamingthings289 It does 18,558 dps with conviction including the bolts, but 16,272 of that is lightning, I calculate all my damage based on Diablo. In essence you would be nerfing yourself without conviction. You can just go with using Holy Bolts I suppose, but for smite you lose a lot in higher player count games even if you have high Crushing Blow (it's based on the monster's base health at P1) but there is not a lot of room for crushing blow on a caster paladin. More damage from conviction comes in his case from the Firewall, and in the spec I want to use it comes from Hydras.
1 of the guys that doesn´t have any idea about Paladin XD
first you go hoto because of the fcr and resistance compared with enigma, you never go Ormus because it´s just boosting up your light dmg, but your holy bolts from foh does the dmg.
2nd never ever go trang ouls !!!! i mean never !!!! you just lose so much dmg without shaco (for dmg mf) or griff for the fcr, and belt you simply go arach for dmg and fcr ! gloves i would allways use magefist for the mana :). Amu you go for a 3pc 100l amu or smth you got enoggh resistance from hoto and zaka. And your merc use infy so nn to put in rbf facets just put in ist runes for mf or ber runes for dr
In this case he uses Firewall also, and I use Hydra, so Ormus helps both the Lightning, which is not useless damage (16,272 Dps with my setup against Hell Diablo).
Totally failed build
There is so much wrong with this video....
1. The FoH build revolves around the Holy Bolts, not the lightning damage. What kind of PvM build pushes so hard to max out damage on a single target ability with a cool down?
2. You are using lightning facets AND trying to get conviction to -150%. It's like you don't understand why that number is chosen in the first place.
3. Why in God's name would you advise people to up their HoZ? That's only (barely) necessary for a smiter. You're asking people to put almost an extra 100 (?) hard points in strength for nothing.
Delete this. Do you even play D2?
