The paladin is not only one of the strongest endgame characters in Diablo 2: Resurrected, but with the right starter build he also effortlessly fights his way through the first few hours of the game. We'll show you the right skills and rune words to master the "normal" level of difficulty.
General tips for the paladin
The paladin is probably the best melee fighter in Diablo 2 , as he is not only extremely resilient but, unlike the barbarian, can also deal a lot of damage. A hallmark of the Paladin are its offensive and defensive auras, which provide both you and your team members with powerful bonuses.
The most important attributes
- strength
In Acts 1 and 2 you should put up to 30 and 40 points in strength, respectively, in order to be able to carry your equipment. In act 5, 60-70 points are helpful to equip the best items of the level of difficulty.
- skill
30 points in skill are sufficient for the normal level of difficulty.
- energy
In the normal level of difficulty, no points are required here.
- vitality
Every point that you do not need to carry your equipment is put into vitality.
Beginner builds to get you started
The paladin's strongest and easiest skill in Normal difficulty is the Holy Fire skill . The aura not only amplifies all your attacks with fire damage but also automatically inflicts damage to all enemies in the area . As a result, some monsters die all by themselves, so that you can strategically focus on individual opponents in most situations. As your primary attack skill, you put a point in zeal .
At level 25, your build could look something like this:
capability | Skill points |
Holy fire | 20th |
zeal | 1 |
Power | 1 |
victim | 1 |
Resistance to fire | 1+ |
