OK, this is an elemental pallidan guide, these can be quite strong although may have a problem in hell mode unless you have a nice weapon or choose a good element. with that armed, lets get this guide on.


Skills:

Ok, right now, at level one, you need to make your first desicion, what element do you want your pally to be? Fire has the best min dmgbut weak aura damage(you can probably tell where i'm going with this). Cold can freze which makes it helpfull in baal runs and also has so-so damage. I use lightning for my 2 elemental pallys, why? because they get a great max damage, bad min but with a good weapon, and some skill gcs, you can easily do over 15k per hit.

I will tell you how to build each kind of elemental pally but i am most skilled with lightning.

To start, at level 1, just take holy fire, if you look at it, you will notice it adds a bit of fire damage to your attack, that is the good thing, after you take that, you can look at your damage and wow, you already do about 20 damage at level 2 : . Now, depending on which element you chose, start taking the holy(lightning, freeze, fire) and work up to max all of its prerequesits. Now, another choice while you are waiting/building your elepally, which combat skill do you want? think though, you can't have a good hammer since all your skills will be takin up by the elements. I usually use zeal, why? lower damage but multiple hits really helps, especially in duels.

stats:

Here are some stats to help you decide on what you will want to do.

First, get enough strength to wear full sigons, it is a great set for a beginner, which would put the strength at about 70 for starts(up to level 10ish), stick your dex up about 5-10 points by level 12 and vit up to around 100 as soon as you can. The great part about this pally if you go zeal/element, is zeal only takes up about 2 mana each hit, which means no need to take energy at all that saves a ton of points. By level 24, you should have about 80 str, 40 dex(i think, not ure what the strting dex is) and around 150 health or so(about 130 vita. after that, just work your strength u to around 180ish, dex to 150, vit to 200 if you can.


gear:

Ok, now for one of the more important areas. There is a choice, you can go full gris, or non set items. I usually go non set, they are usually stronger and better. If you can, try to get a ebotd zerker(i use a hand of justice zerker)or th hoj. Also, get a ethereal exile guilded or protector shield. For armor, you probably will want to use enigma or coh. Because of the strength, none of these will be a problem. For a helm, you have 2 choices, you can go more common and get a shako(harlequin crest shako, unique) or delirium(a 3 socket helm runeword), if you go delirium, try to make it out of a bone visage if possible, else a high def helm. Boots, war travs, gloves, if you re using a fire elemet, get magefists, else go with chance guards(for mf) or steele rends. A belt, either once again, for mf, goldwrap or arachnid mesh spider web sash. Rings, an soj or perfect bk ring(bul kathos wedding band) and a raven frost(for no freeze) amulet, go with any maras, perfect is always best. Also try to get around 6 skill gc's(grand charms) you can mix and match, like 3 def skills and 3 off skills or get 6 off or w/e, 4-5 will also be ok. If you use chance guards and gold wrap, you can upgrade them by combining a sheal, perfect diamond and the item in a horadric cube.



I hope you liked my first guide, i hope to write more as i go on.

whats the damage for all the builds do you know?

Brewsauce

He said 15k for light ... fire/cold obviously will be much lower

Kingsrookie

i no that i meant for fire and ice

Nemo4ever

with fire, w/o anything adding to skills and by level 60, you will add around 643-713 dmg to your attack, with cold, you will add around 1k to your attack while with lightning, you add 1-4k to your attack. also if you use Hoj, you get a holy fire aura which adds even more to your attack. The reason i liked this build is it is great for ushing in norm/nm cause u just have to run... the aura will usually kill everything

Kingsrookie

yea ture can u try a build for me and tell me if its any good? i wanna try a regular zealot with fanat but use infinity dream helm phoenx shield and dragon armor

Nemo4ever

i have used this build... it is awesome, exept in hell, with immunitys... if you use dream
