Build Overview

Welcome to MrRonit's Hammerdin Arbiter Lvl 1-70 guide updated for S14 - recreate the iconic paladin class from Diablo 2 and crush the levelling process!

This build combines Blessed Hammer and Arbiter of Justice to become the angel of the high heavens dominating the battlefield with wing strikes and orbiting hammers!

Arbiter form grants us tonnes of movement speed through Seraph's Wings Arbiter of Justice making levelling a breeze!

=================================================================================

LEVEL 15 OATH - Disciple - every time you cast a disciple skill with cooldown (Falling Star in this build) you will become Arbiter! We reduce Falling Star cooldown through Cooldown Reduction Falling Star so we can use it as much as possible to keep Arbiter uptime high!

Build Variants

Early on we rely on Holy Bolt to generate faith - eventually we don't need to do this and can take it off our toolbar

You access oaths at level 15 - we want Disciple

Equipment Priority

+10

Don't worry about gear or aspects too much - this build will work without any gear requirements!

Ideally use a 1h weapon + shield to benefit from the passives in the skill tree!

N.B All Aspects are now RNG - you cannot farm them from dungeon

Juggernaut's Aspect - more armor which is always great

Aspect of Voracious Rage - refunds faith when you used blessed hammer which makes it easier to ditch Holy Bolt

Edgemaster's Aspect - small damage boost when casting Blessed Hammer based off how much faith you have

Aspect of Tyrael's Jurisdiction is one to look out for in case it drops - it makes Arbiter form's winged strikes even crazier so definitely slot this on your amulet whilst levelling! Arbiter Winged Strikes are SUPER powerful whilst levelling!

Aspect of Holy Punishment boosts Blessed Hammer damage

Aspect of Lagera's Sovereignty boosts both Blessed Hammer and Winged Strike Damage!

Aspect of Ascension - amazing multiplicative damage bonus with 10 stacks, but have to keep up Falling Star and watch your Arbiter bar on screen to keep casting before it runs out!

Uniques

Don't worry about uniques when levelling - they are absolutely not required, but there are some good ones to look for which will make levelling much much easier!

Herald's Morningstar will make Blessed Hammer really strong

Herald of Zakarum is amazing for boosting strength

Talisman

Talisman Priority

Talismans look for Practiced Technique Set whilst levelling for more EXP.

Look for stats such as Ranks to Disciple Skills on rare/set talismans

Skills & Rotation

Primary

Secondary

Oaths

We can stop using Holy Bolt basic skill eventually once we unlock Arbiter of Justice. Wing strikes are REALLY strong!

If you're struggling with faith generation - take off Rally for Holy Bolt!

Falling Star is an incredible movement ability which lets us go into Arbiter of Justice mode! This mode is insane because it casts Wing Strikes which do SO MUCH damage especially early on in the game!

Using Fanaticism Aura through Rite of Humility will apply vulnerable to nearby enemies so we can benefit from Enhanced Falling Star to reduce its cooldown! Eventually Seraphs' Wings will also make nearby enemies vulnerable in Arbiter mode!

Using Arbiter of Justice directly also improves Arbiter uptime - very important whilst levelling when we don't have enough Cooldown Reduction stat for 100% uptime through Falling Star and Disciple

- Only try placing Arbiter of Justice on toolbar instead of Holy Bolt (or Defiance Aura if you need the faith generation) once you have Cooldown Reduction Arbiter of Justice and Cooldown Reduction Arbiter of Justice

Cast Blessed Hammer for a bit more damage and use Rally to boost movement speed and generate more faith

Leveling Path

Levelling path has been updated to reflect level requirements!

In Season 14 you will unlock seasonal skill points faster than before SO you should max out Blessed Hammer if you find yourself having extra skill points before unlocking the next level and the next skill/passive!

Prioritise unlocking new skills first then focus on making skills rank 15/15 in the order below:

Blessed Hammer - you can start to max this out earlier as mentioned above if you get seasonal skill points earlier!

Arbiter of Justice

Fanaticism Aura

Defiance Aura

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We can stop using Holy Bolt basic skill eventually once we unlock Arbiter of Justice with Cooldown Reduction Arbiter of Justice and Duration Arbiter of Justice. Wing strikes are REALLY strong!

- Only try placing Arbiter of Justice on toolbar instead of Holy Bolt (or Defiance Aura if you need the faith generation) once you have Cooldown Reduction Arbiter of Justice and Cooldown Reduction Arbiter of Justice

Just use a combination of Falling Star with Disciple and Arbiter of Justice to keep up damage even when your faith is low.

Mercenaries

Subo is insane for levelling as it gives you Mini-map information , Movement Speed and Critical Strike Damage Bonus.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

I've Taken off Holy Bolt and now I don't generate faith - what do I do?

You can go back to using Holy Bolt, just take off Defiance Aura
If you have bad gear/aspects whilst levelling you may need to make the switch to taking off holy bolt closer to level 70
