Keep an eye out for a 2 socket chest and 2 or 3 socket 1-handers Skip Blood Raven she'll literally kill you Ignore Energy and put the rest into Vitality Don't worry about getting max block while leveling. Dex is nice to have but shouldn't be prioritized over any of the aboveĪt all levels: put enough points into Strength and Dexterity to wear gear.

We want to hit block cap but holy shield does a lot of the heavy lifting.

Value 1 point in Vitality the same as +3 life

Vitality is pretty strong on Paladins.

The ability to increase max resistances means we really like this stat.

Flat damage allows our skills to truly shine

Combat skills and auras all provide ridiculous enhanced damage.

We benefit from all skills because of our auras, but most of our skill points will go into Combat Skills.

The stats you want to be looking for in order of priority:

After going over what stats are good for this spec, the gear we pick up during leveling and for end game mapping should make a lot more sense. However, I think it is more useful to go over the stats we want to be looking for on gear, especially considering that this guide is focused on ladder starting. Most guides jump straight into gear at this point. Greatly diminished from LoD but still somewhat noticeable which can make the playstyle clunky 12.) Paladin FBR, FHR, and FCR Breakpoints.10.) Corruptions, Sockets, and Charm Setup.Zealots have a super fun playstyle, and Fist of the Heavens is amazing at clearing hell and early game mapping. This guide will focus on leveling a Zealot/Fist of the Heavens Paladin. With Season 4 just around the corner and some of you coming from D2R looking for your fix of ladder, I'm seeing a lot of threads pop up which are all some variation of: 'What's the best ladder starter?' or 'I'm new, what should I play?' Well, I have great news for you! I've decided to be the change I want to see this season and write a bunch of leveling guides for each of the 7 classes in all their PD2 glory! Paladins have an impressive array of builds and have at least one top tier build for every bit of content in the mod.
