| Class | Paladin |
|---|---|
| Build Type | Paladin - FoH / Smite Paladin - Early Ladder |
| Main Skills | Smite, Holy Shield, Fanaticism, Fist of the Heavens, Holy Bolt |
| Skill Target | Level 85, all 12 quest skill points |
This Early Ladder FoH / Smite Paladin package combines Spirit Crystal Sword, Rhyme, Guillaume's Face and Duress with Dracul's Grasp and Goblin Toe. The level-85 plan invests in Smite, Holy Shield, Fanaticism and Fist of the Heavens, with 6 hard points in Holy Bolt. Insight, Treachery and Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest equip the Act II mercenary.
Keep Holy Shield active. Use Smite with Fanaticism for close targets, and Fist of the Heavens for suitable demon and undead groups. This starter uses Spirit and a random Rhyme shield rather than the later Grief and Herald of Zakarum branch. Dracul's Life Tap is a chance-to-cast effect; this package does not include a manual Life Tap wand or promise that the curse is active immediately.
