Try speccing into full fire wyrms from the holy caster tree and the shadow influence tree for some extra fire pierce

@Bojac what kind of stats should I have before attempting bremmtown?

Honestly not that good, bremmtown is really easy for this build. You just want to keep up solar flare as usual and use retaliate as soon as a mob pounces on you to knockback all the mobs. Also try to keep up 5 hoplites at all times. You can also try using Sacred Armour and just run forward to make the mobs jump and you and when your armour is about to expire just spam retaliate. I'd say that getting the Nas Runeword Hand of God and Kra Runeword chest should be enough. If you re still having trouble which you really shouldn't try Nih Runeword chest and Vith Runeword belt. Hope it helped.

I got fire spell skill but he is super fast with high regens and he can 1-shot me. Gonna try to be patient then ;-|

What I'm wondering about, since I have no experience with holy melee pally, what would be the best early farming spots to get Sacred Neeqs and Sets with this build?

And does the DJ nerf really kill this build as much as some pessimists are saying? (I honestly think the nerf doesn't kill it, maybe makes it less OP).

Some early charm advice would also be welcome. I have a necro with whom I can get early charms but I want to attempt them with this build pally from scratch to learn the ropes

Thanks for your time writing this guide. I hope gets updated soon as it seems fun to play!

Easiest for you is get this setup:
RW in paladin blunt(heuheu) weapon for bear stance
RW in armor for 2 skills and a lot of defense
RW in gloves for 2 skills and fire proc (MO defense, total char defense, mf)
Belt - TU wormtongue (MO defense, total char defense and mf)
Boots - Lionpaws with 4 resists pgems (MO defense, total char defense and mf)
Shrine craft circlet with +3 skills (MO mf)
Rings - 1 xorine and 1 with purify/random +1skill
Amulter - rare with +as many skills/attributes you can get

With this setup you farm K3K easily because of 3s teleport and bear stance which ignores undead immunities. After you get all signets and some easy/mid game charms - go for Duncraig and Tran Athulua. In TA with enough leach and 300k defense you can do it, but it requires constant moving and hiting something to keep hp leeching. With more defense you can go easily in more relax mod, vindincate works really nice. In Duncraig - you can do ok-ish with 300k defense, but you will get ocasionally stun locked especially after teleporting.

For SUs and Sets then you should farm D-TA, K3K, Cows. Try to kill D-Baal, he has a chance to drop 3 SUs, my favourite farming boss.

DJ is still very strong. I can barely see a difference.

Of course, the gear section I did read

But I did not think about K3K and bear stance. Of course!! Totally overlooked that. Thanks for the advice. I already have most of the midgame gear, only still farming for a hand of god which has not dropped so far. I was looking in Terror, now trying my luck in Dest because I think the Hand of God might have a similar droprate to Ancient Armors which are a B to find.

When I get the hand of god, I will immediately pump myself through K3K, a great place to be able to farm again. I assume only barb would be better at farming K3K, right?

Thanks, last time I killed Dest Dia, he also dropped 3 SU's. Dbaal, haven't had the luck of getting him down yet sadly. I am hoping for a Hand of God to drop soon!

I farm those spots hundred times.
You might want to use Elixir of Greater Greed (%MF) every 60 seconds. Your patience will pay off!
