Build Overview

Welcome to MrRonit's Clash Paladin build that will let you hit for TRILLIONS of damage in Lord of Hatred (S13)!

This build focuses on using Resolve Stacking to scale Clash damage through Seize Them, Mantle of the Grey, Sentinel and many more tools! We can gain 70+ Resolve Stacks which scales our damage to ridiculous levels!

We use this in combination with Fortress to boost its damage even further with Resolve Damage Bonus Fortress

This also gives us 100% block chance through Aspect of Interdiction which lets us get great defences and also take advantage of Shield Bearer paragon node!

We now also have added the Aspect of Glynn's Anvil which gives us ridiculous amounts of damage reduction through resolve stackingwhich basically makes us unkillable!

Berú of Righteous Will talisman sets give us even more damage reduction and also will boost our damage significantly against stronger enemies!

Uber Uniques

1) Heir of Perdition - 80% multiplicative damage boost, huge amount of crit chance

Uniques

1) Mantle of the Grey - this consumes resolve to give us a multiplicative damage bonus to Clash

2) Shard of Verathiel - boosts Clash damage

3) Paingorger's Gauntlets - helps to add AoE damage and boosts damage even further!

Aspects

Aspect of Redirected Force gives us multiplicative critical strike damage bonus which is DOUBLED when we block! Remember we have 100% block chance through the Aspect of Interdiction!

Vanguard's Aspect, Aspect of the Juggernaut's Covenant give Juggernaut damage bonuses!

Aspect of Glynn's Anvil basically carries all of our defences - with over 70 resolve stacks we can gain around 95% damage reduction from this which is INSANE

Amulet 2nd Aspect

Use the cube to get 2nd aspect on amulet such as Exploiter's Aspect - or you can get Aspect of Interdiction on amulet and put Exploiter's Aspect on boots. Either combination works!

Tempering

Tempering is extremely important for Clash - you NEED to both Greater Affix Temper and Masterwork Maximum Resolve Stacks on your Helm, Chest, Pants, Amulet, Shield so you can get 60 resolve stacks from gear!

Runes

Cir + Ceh summon Spirit Wolves which apply freeze and vulnerable

Nagu + Gar adds a bit more critical strike chance

Skull on weapon for more physical damage multiplier - remember Clash is a physical skill

Ruby on armor for more strength

Use a combination of Ruby Emerald and Topaz on jewellery for more survivability on jewellery rather than 3x Diamond. Fire/Poison/Lightning damage are the biggest killers in the game!

Key Stat Thresholds

  • 100% crit chance - look for rings/gloves/amulet affixes, weapon tempers and then fromHeir of Perdition. You can also look for crit chance on your legendary seal
  • Because we have 100% crit chance rerolling gear for critical strike damage multiplier and masterworking this stat becomes INSANE! Look for this as high priority for your uniques and legendary items!

Transfiguration

This is random so I don't want to put specific stats to chase on the guide but some good ones to look out for include:

  • Ranks to All Skills (Godly, very rare)
  • % Strength
  • Critical Strike Chance, Critical Strike Damage
  • Cooldown Reduction

Talismans

Talisman Priority
+7

Ranks to Juggernaut Skills is very important on all your charms!

Paragon Board

Sentinel is a massive multiplicative damage boost for our build as we get over 70 stacks of resolve! So we gain over 105% multiplicative damage from this glyph which is better than every other glyph out there!

Resplendence put on Relentless board as there is nearby Cooldown reduction which gets multiplied by the glyph's bonus. The main purpose of Resplendence is so we can cast our Aura Skills to reduce Fortress cooldown!

Shield Bearer node out of combat looks pathetic but remember, thanks to Aspect of Interdiction we will have 100% block chance which will give us 110% damage multiplicatively through Shield Bearer!

Mercenary

Raheir gives more damage through Inspiration and defences as well through Raheir's Aegis

Aldkin is your Reinforcement because Fields of Languish gives you 20% Damage Reduction which is good for survivability

How it Plays

1) Use Fortress

2) Use Consecration and Holy Light Aura to become fortified and trigger Hallowed Ground and Paingorger's Gauntlets

3) Spam Clash inside Fortress

4) Move Fortress with you

5) Use Defiance Aura and Fanaticism Aura (and Holy Light Aura) to reduce Fortress cooldown

How it Works

This build focuses around using Resolve Stacking Mechanics to boost Clash damage significantly via Resolve Damage Bonus Fortress, Sentinel! We also use resolve stacking to make us UNKILLABLE through Aspect of Glynn's Anvil!

By Greater Affix Tempering and MW'ing Maximum Resolve Stacks on our Helmet, Chest, Pants, Amulet and Shield we can gain 60 stacks of resolve from our gear! Combined with our aspects, oath and skills we can gain 72 stacks of resolve!

The aim of the game is to cast Fortress so we can take advantage of getting Maximum Resolve Stacks as it gives us a huge amount of resolve stacks (around 18) every half second! Also we get a further 280%+ damage through Resolve Damage Bonus Fortress!

Free Cast Fortress lets us use Clash infinitely whilst inside without worrying about resource generation and then with Barricade we can move our Fortress as we move through the map!

Reducing Fortress cooldown when its down becomes a big part of the build - we stack some cooldown reduction from our gear and paragon board. And then we use Resplendence to reduce cooldown of Fortress and Consecration by using our Aura skills (Holy Light Aura, Defiance Aura, Fanaticism Aura)

Consecration triggers Paingorger's Gauntlets and gives us more damage through Hallowed Ground!

Ultra Pit Push Variant

Signet of Pelghain - boosts damage against frozen enemies by 20% every second they are frozen! This lasts permanently and can take on repeated freezes. Boss stagger counts as every form of CC including frozen! So on pit bosses you will see your damage rise exponentially after each stagger!

We also drop Barricade and take Rampart of Thorns instead for Fortress. We don't care about the Thorns damage but Rampart of Thorns cooldown starts instantly instead of a delay so we can reduce it's cooldown using Resplendence near instantly and have 100% uptime! With Barricade you never truly had 100% uptime but this fixes that!

Speedfarm Variant

In this version we drop Consecration and take Falling Star instead which lets us move around the map a lot faster!

This is great for when we are not pit-pushing and doing simple activities like Helltide, Infernal Hordes, Nightmare Dungeons!
