Core Mechanics
This 
Shield Bash Paladin uses the following:
- The
Juggernaut Oath - Combined with
Mantle of the Grey, Maximum Resolve and Resolve Generated for incredible damage.
Arbiter of Justice for access to Arbiter Synergies.
Aspect of Celestial Strife and Aspect of Ascension are big damage boosts.
Argent Veil to cast Shield Bash when we Evade.
Aspect of the Arbiter's Zephyr and Attacks Reduce Evade Cooldown to Evade as often as possible.
Falling Star for Insane Mobility.
Rally to sustain our Faith.- 100% Block from Shield and Passives.
- Unstoppable from
Defiance Aura. - As much Attack Speed as possible through Equipment, Skills and Passives.
- As much Cooldown Reduction as possible through Equipment, Skills and Passives.
- Reaching 100% Critical Chance through Equipment, Tempers & Sanctifications.
Runes
Moni + 
Lum is used to help generate Faith. Once we find we are fine on Faith without it, we can swap Lum to Thul for Vulnerable, CC for 
Dizzying Blow and [x]15% damage.
We can also use Moni + Que for more survivability.
Early on, use Cir + Gar for Critical Strike Chance, once we get 
Heir of Perdition we can swap this out.

Why are we taking Rite of Might, how are we generating Resolve?
We generate Resolve with the 
Courage Passive that is granted to us by 
Shroud of False Death.
Alternatively, on some builds we generate it more consistently with 
Clash or 
Fortress.
Where are we getting Fortified from?
- To count as being Fortified, any amount of Fortification will do.
- We boost the Fortified amount with some magic nodes on
Preacher. - Raheir, your mercenary, also provides a bit of Fortify through his ability.
Renewal gives Fortify and is provided by Shroud of False Death for free.
