I spent multiple days of theocrafting and testing, to figure out which pulse dmg has the highest dmg. I will write an answer, why and which are best for what. (And yes Item Aura Dmg, and your own Aura dmg do run at the same time, that's confirmed by MacroBioBoi) #1 Shockerdin #2 Dragondin #3 Holy Fire Dragondin #4 Auradin #5 Tesladin #6 Frostdin #7 Budget Tesladin

Shockerdin (6-7218 pulse dmg) Gear: Dual Dream, 6 Faceted Swoard, Max Holy Shock and Synergies, Enigma, Arach, 18 FCR Amu +2 Skill, 10 FCR Ring, Bul-Katho's, Offensive Aura Skiller, Sunder Charm, Infinity Merc Gameplay: Teleport, Stand still for 2-4 Seconds, perhaps punch a bit, repeat. Summery: He's the one with the highest pulse dmg, but compared to the other quite weak and really boring to play.

Dragondin (2045-2434 pulse dmg) Gear: Dual Dragon, HoJ, 3 Faceted F R/W Helm, Raven Frost, Amu (Cats Eye, High Lord or Metalgrid), Conviction 24 (yes, even 25 is good against immunes monsters), zeal for melee dmg, sunder charm. Merc Act5 (Plague, Crescent Moon, when Plague not available Lawbringer), Act 2 Merc (Might, Reapers Toll), Act 1 (Harmony). Act5 recommended with Flickering Flame Gameplay. Run and Charge around (faster R/W is more fun), it has by far the largest AOE, you have to run conviction yourself, otherwise he sucks. Some even run him with a tele staff instead of CTA. Summery: The most fun of them all, especially with F R/W, variable Gear (MF, or suitability, or dmg), due to the large AOE he clear p1 cows faster than a javazon. IMO the 2nd best aura dmg dealing Paladin. Can do P8 with survival gear

Gameplay: Teleport, wreck everything, repeat. Crescent Moon will allow better AOE dmg, Grief better Single Target dmg. Zeal is your main dmg source Summery: By far the strongest and best P8 Aura dmg dealing Paladin. He can even do Ubers with the right gear. 48 FCR Bp makes him traverse quite quickly, especially in dungeons. He is like a hybrid of a Zealer and Dragondin, with tele. Can do P8

I loved that you show how cows die from that build, I use a cheaper version of this tesladin to farm NM cows. I was wondering if I could build a bazooka elemental paladin with bow and explosion on hit with pearce, but I doubt it's gonna be effective in hell. Great video once again, clean and helpful as always.

I run with the "classic" Dragondin gear but run with Holy Shock aura invested (not conviction), with 20 pts in Holy Shock, Resist Lightning, Salvation, and Resist Fire. Using Flickering Flame as a helm as well. Infinity on Holy Freeze merc and I have a nice setup for pretty much any immune. Once I can get a Sunder Charm on NON ladder, I will most likely run with only the fire sunder, so that my resist fire aura from Flickering Flame counters the negative resists.

I built a combo auradin (2x dream, dragon and hand of justice) on non ladder, expensive but really good! Faith on act 1 merc and nosferatus hits highest zeal breakpoint. Ez p8 worldstone keep runs! :D works awesome for Ubers too! Love it!

@@88Robert88 missing like crazy when using zeal (on baal actually). Whats the best charm ?

I have a tesladin in SP, just lacking a spare enigma right now. Playing on the current ladder i dont know if i could get wealthy enough, but would love to try this with the sunder charms & TZs.

I really enjoy the idea of the Hybrid using 2x Dream and the DragonDin Weapon+Armor

I had a self-cast, solo self-found Tesladin a while back. Made it as far as act 4 on Hell difficulty before I just wasn't able to progress any further due to my low dps. It was fun while it lasted, though.

I want dual dream, hand of justice, dragon armor, max fire/cold/lightning resists, max holy freeze self cast, one point wonders including a point in sacrifice/zeal/vengeance, remaining points in salvation. This build should only take 5 years to put together

Doesn't max frame zeal with pb (and no fanaticism) require 75% ias from gear?

I was already working on one. I made it to act 5 nm with holy fire, and I'm about to switch to self-cast holy shock with crescent moon. I plan to level to 75, then try to make it through hell with a sunder charm

I’m running self-cast holy fire with dual dream, grief , enigma and full off aura gc, infinity merc for conviction. This build you will have two strong elemental dmg with decent physical damage while also have tp

Currently have Azurewraith and Light's Heaven for my Tesladin, would I get more value out of building a Crescent Moon or Grief next?

@Alzorath

Жыл бұрын

depends - though "usually" the best choice is grief (there are some specific cases for crescent moon, bug grief is generally the safer bet if you're choosing between the two... though crescent is super cheap to make)

So am I missing something or does this sound awesome on a vengeance pally? 2 dream and 2 dragon with points into all resists and vengeance sounds like an elemental freight traib

mainly because we're focusing on maximizing the lightning damage for the build, with physical as a secondary concern, and hitting max or near max speed without fanaticism is pretty simple with a phase blade

@@Alzorath thanks for the reply man. That's interesting. I guess I still have a lot to learn. My thought process was that the increased physical damage would be better since you'll often encounter monsters with immune to elemental damages.

I just want a bigger stash in D2R. I've made mules, FFS. D2:LoD had a mod with a nearly infinite stash. Something like 99 pages. I loved that. There's no reason not to do this officially for D2R. Basically, I don't want to play anymore or make new builds until I can store all the stuff I want to hoard. Stacking gems and runes would help, but I like to collect sets and uniques, as well as just really interesting rares and runeword bases. Hopefully, this gets fixed so I can try out new builds (well, new to me) like a tesladin.

treachery is definitely a good option if you can't afford the BiS armor options

6 lightning facet phase blade should be best damage for the aura and attack for a Tesladin weapon especially considering the skill damage double dips with your melee hits.

My favorite build = Tesladin based on maxing holy shock + synergies and getting i offensive skill charms + torch and Anni, stack it with a lightning or 15ias speed faceted griffins eye and crescent moon phase blade and have fun with a lightning faceted full Griswold set. I have a lot more fun with this than using infinity merc or dual dream.

personally i beat the game on hell as a holy fire paladin with just some minor twinking (gave him hexfire and some other stuff like that) act 4 on nightmare and hell were hard, but not too hard. I also helped myself a lot with Conversion and Sanctuary (it so in hell, i only had a hard time killing venom lords - fire immune undeads were ez pz due to how strong sanctuary was against them)

you can only have one aura via character skills up at a time, but you can be effected by as many auras as there are available (though admittedly can't double up on most of them - so no double fanaticism for example). Equipment based auras are considered a separate source.

To go Self-Cast Holy Shock, you sacrifice a lot of sustain (leech, resists, inventory slots, etc.), but it is possible to raise your pulse with self-cast above the 2x level 30 HShock (you need to telestomp with your merc to keep the conviction with you for it though) - this requires gear that falls into "unreasonable to farm for" list - basically stuff you'll never get in single player without cheating, or in multiplayer without pulling d2jsp stuff - yes, even compared to the dual dream + grief setup.

I wrote a comment where I compared all that Dmg Auradins with numbers and gear. If you can, run Dream and Holy Shock at the same time, because the auras run simultaneously (thought zeal does only take 1 aura for the added dmg). @b1kanobi That claim is confirmed by MacroBioBoi and I can link several videos where I can confirm that as well. And if you want to run any Dmg Aura Paladin, you either want to have either conviction, or Dual Dream + Holy Shock (best with enigma and infinity merc) or Dual Dragon HoJ + Holy Fire. Thought keep in mind, with self casting conviction, you have much more space in your inventory Let's compare the Holy Fire Dragondin (2447 - 2934 pulse damage) vs the Dragondin (2045-2434 pulse dmg). Take a fire Immune monster like Bishibosh, there the HF Dragondin does 725-870 dmg per pulse, the Dragondin does 716-852 dmg per pulse.
