Dec 19, 2017 In Diablo 2, the Paladin is a strong class for fighting against monsters and especially Bosses. Some paladin builds such as the Hammerdin are powerful in Player Versus Player battles as well. Some paladin builds such as the Hammerdin are powerful in Player Versus Player battles as well.

An old image of Act 2, with the Amazon's Bow and Crossbow Skills tree open. A lot of very interesting things in this screenshot - notably the different looking hover-over for skills, and that the Passive and Magic tree is called Healing, Movement, and Repair Skills in this build. Also the interface is older and uses the D1-style potion display. Although the Median mod for Diablo 2 changes all of the classes, perhaps the most drastic change of all is to the Paladin Class. Paladins must now choose between a Holy path and an Unholy path. As soon as you put a single point into one of those two skill trees, the other tree becomes entirely closed to you.

The Hammerdin i Sims 3 get high mod. s one of the most popular Paladin builds from Diablo II. He specialized in the skill Blessed Hammer, hence the name. This is a very effective Player vs. Monster (PvM) build usable in almost all possible situations. s
