Paladin SOLO early game

[mahitovec]

Hello!

Today I would like to discuss/wonder, how you guys usually level your paladin when playing alone? This means pre 90 pretty much, after reaching superbeast it becomes pretty obvious...

Right now I came across 3 builds, and none of them doesnt seem that great to me, so I'm wondering how you guys usually do this.

1) Slayer UHC. Has okay damage, is relatively safe. At the same time is very slow for MXL meta.
2) Magister. Has nice aoe. Disadvantages are fire immunes, pain in the ass to use before you reach sorc morph helm, damage becomes bad past a5 hatred, sucks against bosses.
3)VOJ/VOR pal. Nice damage. Disadvantages: low range, being melee sucks, bad against bosses.

► NOTE

No theorycraft, no "iirc my brother played this build 7 years ago, but not sure", etc. No p2+ tactics. Only builds you ACTUALLY played and in which you are confident enough.
And of course, as title says, no twinking.

ES GEHT LOS!!!

VoR pally main here. Bosses start to really suck a2 terror onward, before that its not too bad imo kinda hit or miss, sometimes they'll lose chunks of HP, and then sometimes its like they got 99% avoid.

for caster i usually go for oskills , apocalypse from Magister+rare boots (moar points into Apocalipse) . for fire immunes i also get oskills , most of the time i go for Poison cloud , same as for apocalypse , i try to get it asap from 2 sources in order to deal higher damage (rare gloves first + rare amulet a bit later) + vessel of choice

Early game always VoR but it becomes weak so lvl 60 or so i struggle and somehow make it with respec but i dont remember. Certainly not vor only till 90. When i make vor tho i start spec unholy not first moment but lvl 18 because of synphony of destruction for boss, it kills most bosses no problem

Mindflay UHC + Slayer + VoJ

1) Mindflay+Slayer inf. Shadow
2) Frozen breath+Wyrms inf. Shadow
3) Blood thorns+Lemures inf. Shadow
4) Solar flare+Retaliate inf. Light
5) VoR+Gorefest from rw Armor (switch to boots later)
6) VoJ+Scourge+Apoc from Auto da Fe (switch to Magister+Boots when get sorc morph)
Depends on what kind of pal i want to make. 6th is the most hard/annoying.

You can get to level 90 by farming tal rasha tombs. When you enter the fake tombs, just go the the left and there's always a pack of enemies that give you more exp since they're some elite version or something like that. Those enemies are in the room with the golden chest. 1 tomb usually adds about 1 level. I do that basically with every character. That doesn't require a special build and it is managable. Just try to avoid killing the ice clan mages in melee, or you'll get 1shotted easily by that black on death proc.

how long it usually takes to get 90 this way?

depends on your killspeed. But it's safer than entering act 3 for sure.
