I concur. The music is bad ass. Secondly, the build looks awesome! I just started playing today and picked a Pali. Not sure what I'll do with it but this is very inspirational.
The build is really cool, I love the concept! I wish we could stack auras for cheaper. but the music is so good I was getting distracted from the montage lmao
I have tons of fun watching your wacky yet wonderful builds ! Really cool watch for vet’s who just want to try something different and care less about a complete min/max. Been trying very much to like and comment for your algorithm!
yea and max Fanatacism i would guess. would be really strong. or you could get Faith bow act 1 rogue and then go concentration aura which might even be more DPS.
ever since I was a kid I've wanted to make a 2h weapon pally build! sick aesthetic and the reach seems to do well with zeal. Love your music as well, what a treat!
My man! Excellent video. I like how you have a quick intro, solid music to jam to during your highlights, followed by a specific breakdown. It’s been great to see how you have refined and further developed your natural creativity through these “systems” of art; music, D2R, content management, etc. Keep up the great work! (More Dear D2R devs when you get a chance?)
Hey is there any video with steelshade the helmet with Amazon with no dodge and cold or another who is gonna blind ranged monsters from the first hit? ❤
Hey man. Theres a concept I think people get obsessed with. For lower player counts and certain playstyles, you dont NEED to be fully synergized for a build to work. Of course if you are minmaxing everything you would like that but sometimes its just not needed
this setup allowed me to do 3 different gear options for the build that i will showcase eventually. this is ladder too so respec and tokens aren't free like on single player.
Is it possible to have might, concentration and fanaticism at the same time? Plus spirit of barbs and thorns and maybe few more damaging auras like the one for the undead or was it demons? Also can you stack fade with bone shield, was there a knife of some sorts for assassin as well? Also one of the sorc shields, druid shield, amazon strafe, dodge, barb stone skin and whatever I missed 😂 Do you play with those kind of ideas? Just for fun tou know?
Already know I'm going to like it only a couple minutes in! BTW, your music almost reminds me of Cloudkicker... excellent solo artist, you should check it out if you haven't before :) Pretty wide range of music going from pretty heavy djent-ish, to some fun flowy atmospheric clean chill songs. I like Beacons, but it's all great.
@@Homeofgamers-pe8zz you totally could. There are tons of ways to mix and match paladin auras from the skill tree and gear. Only problem with doom is that you're gonna be repairing it all the time. A berserker axe has 26 durability, which is the best candidate usually for one-handed doom. But its still cool to get the slow effect for free essentially on the weapon and then run any of the other auras yourself.
Love the original music. Keep that coming for sure. Much appreciated. As for the build, would this build be decent as a SSF or budget version? I play offline only and have never had Anni or torches or even a SoJ. I'm obsessed with 2H or any non-shield paladins, but haven't had much success outside the holy fire demon machine budget. Anyway love all your vids. So good.
@@unicyclepeon thanks dude. Ah, so i think youd be able to do reapers toll with fanaticism, Gface, treachery, highlords and gore riders and zeal for a decent two hander like this. The big elemental damage on this build only can be gained from high runes basically. You could also work toward a Death in an ethereal weapon or an Oath in an ethereal weapon and have your merc run Reaper's toll and Might. All those options with decent charms would slap.
I got idea but idk if be vaiable .you would have to test to know if would work .werebear fire claw but with new sword runeword and see if it can do all content.
@@off-meta-michael Eh it just feels like one of those things where it's technically off meta til I see the green aura floating around doing what I assume a lot of the heavier lifting for the off meta build. I would be curious to know how well this does without Conviction, obviously it would do worse but how much worse.
@@LiveLongAndProsperHonestly off meta doesn't mean it has to be budget friendly. Its just about different combinations and themes and putting together something that isnt typical but still works. Like, if you want to make a Werebear sorceress you're gonna have to find a Ber rune. There's no budget version of this available. The game itself is designed in a way that makes it hard to do things that are not innate to the class, which is one reason why the game's itemization is so brilliant. This build for this video is on this current ladder season and so are my summon druid, enchantress, elemental barb, and magic items only javazon. When a ladder resets i make these off-meta builds from scratch on the new season. So, its not unattainable. That's 5 geared characters this season alone with different setups (so like 8 builds) and all of them are off-meta. Knowing the trade market ia half the battle for getting the wealth required to get high end gear in a single season. Finally, not all my builds use infinity. But, if youre doing elemental melee type builds you're gonna want it a lot of the time, since it impacts enemy res and def. For my elemental barb, i actually used reaper's toll on the merc for a long time until i could make infinity and gradually built up the charm inventory and other elemental gear over time. It takes a while. Chase items are fun. Makes the grind not so bad. Trading is also huge, as I stated. So, if you're playing single player then make the most powerful meta builds that can do increased player counts and waste cows, trav, and chaos sanctuary, hit up the terror zones, cube up your runes, and you'll get there eventually.
sure that would be fine but the Reaper part of the build needs a Scythe type weapon in order to look the part. it's cool using two handers on a paladin.
If the gold roll was 40 its like 10 jah. If its 39 then one jah. I tried trading it away for a while and had no takers. Also if you look on traderie for this exact charm it ranges from an Ist to a Gul on Ladder.
I dont know. My builds are more about the theme or different item combinations that are not used as often. I don't consider Hardcore for these types of builds. You'll probably die with my off-meta builds in hardcore haha
Whats the point of wearing dream and dragon if youre not even upping the synergies? Those auras tick for like 300-400dmg in your case, absolutely redundant, no?
@@VDViktor they are partially synergized and then conviction aura from the merc makes them more effective. We also get venom from the dragon as well as fire chip damage from the hydras on that armor too so there's a couple other effects. Further, the tick damage isnt really the main reason to use those either. The melee damage is a bit more and effective even at that level. I use the same helm and armor and merc weapon on my barbarian who has no synergy and we wipe all types of enemies in the game. I supplement the damage though with an inventory of lightning charms. Yea its not dual grief levels of DPS but im intentionally trying to make builds viable that are obscure in some way. In short, yea its not fully synergized but as you can see im still getting through everything quite well while still being able to fulfill the fantasy of the build i had in mind.

thanks dude!
@@off-meta-michael what is song name/band?

Pretty cool. I already got some ideas i want to try out. Thanks for showing the trades, so many i would never had made.

Thanks bro! Appreciate the algorithm comment ha
That looks alot like a D4 spiritborn 😮
Very smart and work build, as always good content!
I want to try it pure physical, with atma, Gfase and forty )))
yea and max Fanatacism i would guess. would be really strong. or you could get Faith bow act 1 rogue and then go concentration aura which might even be more DPS.

For weapons, an ort rune in the cube will fully repair the weapon.
Lovely build!
It's really cool how those gloves don't need to be 20 Increased attack speed, so one doesn't have to throw away an otherwise great pair.
Yooooo this music is doopeeee.. I want more
Nice Man, i Will do this build 🎉
Cool music man :)
"Auradin" = stacking the same aura.
"Omnidin" = stacking one of each aura.
Kinda curious if new rune word that cast metors when strike with sword would make it cool plus be better see werebear over lame wolf
Hey man. Theres a concept I think people get obsessed with. For lower player counts and certain playstyles, you dont NEED to be fully synergized for a build to work.
Of course if you are minmaxing everything you would like that but sometimes its just not needed
song reminds me of the band tool
Really cool idea for a build! Wouldnt it be better damage wise to max the synergy for holy shock instead of holy freeze?
this setup allowed me to do 3 different gear options for the build that i will showcase eventually. this is ladder too so respec and tokens aren't free like on single player.
Just here to let you know poison is not an element. Don’t expect conviction to help poison builds. This build looks like a lot of fun!
Is it possible to have might, concentration and fanaticism at the same time? Plus spirit of barbs and thorns and maybe few more damaging auras like the one for the undead or was it demons?

@@noknownthrone2487 hey, thanks for the recommendation, ill have to check that out
wonder if you can hold a doom for freeze aura and have conviction active, also makes room for a dream shield

Was excited to see the build til I saw you have infinity. Don't have that and probably never will. Took the wind out of my sails lol.
I have 2 on ladder and 2 on non-ladder.
If you want you can use Reaper's toll on the merc for the decrep proc. Its good for this type of build.

you need eth zodded reaper man. Or botd eth thresher would also go with theme.
I am 90% sure that syngergy from Sacrifice does more dmg than maxing zeal skills :)
@@LordSpaw i think so too but i needed the attack rating really bad
Why not use doom or hoj with dream or dragon shield and use conviction at max?
sure that would be fine but the Reaper part of the build needs a Scythe type weapon in order to look the part. it's cool using two handers on a paladin.
Isn't that 37GF 12MF GC worth like a Jah rune or something?
If the gold roll was 40 its like 10 jah. If its 39 then one jah. I tried trading it away for a while and had no takers. Also if you look on traderie for this exact charm it ranges from an Ist to a Gul on Ladder.
here is an idea... self wield infinity put reapers on the merc
