Classic. If they increased holy fire dmg by 30% not 10%, I may consider a retry in 2.9. 10% is really not enough to evoke any of my interests of this classic bd.

Nice showcase of the build! My personal favourite melee pally build of late is Unholy Melee Azurewrath's Bladestorm/relic/ variation, absolutely immortal in every aspect of the game, with the flexibility to easily adjust it based on what you wanna "farm". Melee pallys ftw !

Thank you for your detailed reply. First I tried with Unholy, then with Holy and couldn't find the way through
I found this a little bit slow in both trees, the gears were almost the same as you mentioned, just lack of UMOs, and I didn't know why.

Hi. I tried as your guide, but I still have some problems:
+ The bonus defense was fairly low due to the Unholy tree (first I chose the Holy tree because of the Lionheart) so the Vitality bonus is decreased
+ What was your skill points put? I still think the flat damage of the Azurewrath is not so high (when all buffs were on, I had ~10k vitality, no UMOs) so the clear speed was a little bit slow.
+ I still had to use healing potions many times when entering labs, because the healing rate is not good even with Vindicate and Ward of Fate.
