Is someone writing a holy paladin guide?

Whoever writes one is a legend

Draft Artagel. IDK if he's playing this patch, but he seems passionate about Holy Melee.

I'm building one.
1 point DJ/Retaliate is enough. Leftover points: Rapture, maybe??
Stats: max Strength or perhaps half Strength half Vit for safer.
Gears: still experimenting.

Full STR. You'll actually end up with less Life if you go half-and-half. And 10 points Rapture seems like enough. Maybe more if using Hand of God.

Yup, full Str could be the better choice.
Actually I also intend to put all points on Vit to see the difference lmao. I feel I got a decent damage output.
First time building a holy paladin so I'm still farming to gather items for gears.

You'd be fine with 1pt rapture and hand of god, but then duration is 30s, so you have to put more, just for the duration..

with 5 points you got 2 minutes duration . more than that is a waste of skillpoints in mid and end game . beside the increased duration , the benefits per hard point are not worth it to dump more skillpoints there

There is nothing else worth to put points in mid/end game. You already max your main skills and there are points left - either for vessel or rapture. Unless you like to recast something every 10 s.

it depends on what your main skills are . i don't have enough points to max mine so i can't and won't put more than 5 points there . the extra boost per hard point is worthless .

Incarnation's attack rating is really big enough to miss for me, so i would like to give 5-10 pts at mid-end game. In tran, no points means %60 cth while 5pts on incarnations makes it %90 cth. You may think about colisseum's -enemy def but 3 sec cd with a tiny aoe so this skill as a source of ar : not worth it. If skill switching means killspeed im ok with that. This also means i dont use rapture, as farming a bit more for crystals is ok for 15fhr/ias jewels.

This is for mid game gear so i got plenty of room to orb things. I dont know what will happen with late game gear.
