The Neutralidin - From Zero to Absolut(ion) Hero

Thanks

in endgame with most of the charms and maxed Demiurge (forgot new skill name) you barely can add any damage with pushing energy cause you will have 2k+ without any investment.
If you want to get tankier I suggest vit cycles if you wanna farm more lower content go for MF cycles.
The most of a damage boost you would get out of Pal skill cycles but it feels not worth using them, imo.

I'm working on this build and I'm confused, why don't you run both Vessels? It appears that they both work in tandem and both are constantly sending out bolts, and assumedly it powers up Absolution too. Is it normal to do both and the skill tree in the OP is a bit misleading? Or is there something I'm completely missing and you should only pump Retribution?

Thanks! It's a neat build!

There are not enough skill points to max out everything you want, so you have to decide whether you go double vessels for better damage or full Ward of Fate for more defenses.

Thank you! That's a really good explanation for why you only use one. Big tradeoff. Appreciate the insight.

I have been having so much fun with this build! While testing I was able to hit 100k-125k absolution sheet damage, and survive extremely well in Scosglen. This build is an overpowered beast. All enemies die in max two absolution strikes, except the ones that drop corrupted boxes but they go down pretty fast as well.

Thanks for the guide. For endgame items I would add:
Chest Swap -

Tyrael's Might

Tyrael's Might
Ancient Armor (Sacred)
Defense: 11859 to 14685
Required Level: 130
Item Level: 130
Ethereal

+300% Damage to Demons
+300% Damage to Undead
+200% Enhanced Defense
Maximum Elemental Resists +15%
Physical Resist 50%
Cannot Be Frozen
Requirements -100%
Celeri Caelesti Iustitia
Socketed (6)

Helm Swap -

Black Masquerade

Black Masquerade
Bone Helm (Sacred)
Defense: (2420 - 2904) to (2622 - 3147)
Required Level: 80
Item Level: 120
+100 Spell Focus
+100% to Physical/Magic Spell Damage
+(150 to 200)% Enhanced Defense

Must have relic - Blood Fury for spell damage.

The two piece set bonus on belt and gloves is enough. Once level, charms, and gear is maxed you will not need to MO much Spell Focus on your gear. I used UMOs for survivability once spell focus was maxed.

Love to hear some feedback/tips.

Black Masq in a guide is reasonable enough, but how many Tyrone's do you think drop in a season?

Completely understandable, do you have any suggestions for other endgame chest pieces that may help with phys res, max res, and general survivability?

(I would love to test another chest piece that is more common than

Tyrael's Might

Nat's?

Or, you know, you've already got a huge amount of phys res as paladin, take anything and stick some pgems and lotto'd Zann Esus in. I hear Enchanted crafts and Robe of Steel are nice.

What is the absolute BiS for maximum dmg/samael/labs for this build?

Black Masquerade - Nats Chest/natashas chest with umos? - lamha/lunar or 2 piece set - vision boots - whatever rings - vizjerei amulet, collector 6x ghal

and then switch between angiris and what? not ssure what the bis bossing weapon is, is it actually dead lakes?
