Moving them would need copy pasting and replacing the old bbcode with new one. If you have time, ask a moderator.

Alright THIS time I got non-skill related questions!

I'm currently playing a holy/light pally focusing on Hammerstrike (Melee tree?) rather than the Dragon tree. This isn't the current meta judging by a lot of the responses here but I'm terrible at juggling active abilities!

I'm currently stacking +Def and +ResistAll on my honor gloves/belt and using an Azarel'd war axe and Catechumen.
I'm doing great so far in Terror but is there something else I should be focusing on if I want to make this build work in Destruction diff?

Thanks!

I'm enjoying the hell out of this mod! Its a lot different/more complex than the hack'n'slash that was Valhalla or Eastern Sun and I like that about it. There just...so much to learn and understand!

Holy melee isn't so easy to play and i'd recommend something else. Hammerstrike is nice, but retaliate will be your primary skill (1 point is enough) for killing mobs (more aoe). You'll definitely need to use colloseum (smax it). Also use heirodule (sorc morph in pally helm) for the wicked 5 fpa atk speed (one of the highest in the game) with your 1 hand weapon.
smax plague as well.

Would anyone think that a supernova paladin can work like a cata pally? I mean, same nova, same high damage at close range, but it pierces.

yes , it would work the same , also if you go unholy SoD will also trigger supernova proc from rings so it will be even nicer . iirc cataclysm gets higher damage dough

edit : thanks for this nice idea , i will also put into practice soon . i checked the docs and seen Hadad rw and Black dwarf amulet with it . are there any other items it may spawn ? crafts ? i know that cataclysm may spawn on boots ... does that also go with supernova ?

Little question: What are the procs that can spawn on a Tower Shield? I'm thinking of craftin one for my Drood, and I'd like to have a nice proc, sadly, rnJeesus is good to me only when farming, and not when shrine-crafting :/

in the docs at the sections "items with procs/oskills" you may find the info you seek . and why not a gothic shield ?

The problem is supernova costs like 1k mana per cast, so at 4 FPA you would need ~6k mana per second to sustain it.

yes , but with tons of energy and mana regeneration it is viable for and mid-late game paladin .

i'm thinking about going for a sorceress that has Symbol of Essu and Mana Sweep at disposal , combo with Hive to trigger extra supernovas from proc rings..maby a hybrid with ice elementals to tank.. . i must do some testing this evening when i return home from work

Hey people. What skill from all necromancer trees should I use to clear Black Hand Totems and groupies when fighting with Laz with a melee necromancer solo?
