  • Exploiter's Aspect Transifguration on Amulet.
  • We need enough Cooldown Reduction to maintain Fortress as close to 100% of the time as possible.
  • If you do not have Flawless Horadric Rubies to put on your Armor, use Cir + Vex.

Unique Charms

  • Blood-Mad Idol is our highest damage Charm.
  • Griswold's Opus is very close in damage.

Talisman Set

Berú of Righteous Will is used in combination with Resolve Damage Bonus Fortress and Sentinel to get an insane amount of damage from Resolve stacking.

Charm Affix Priority

  1. Juggernaut Ranks
  2. All Stats
  3. Maximum Life
  4. Lightning Res
  5. Fire Res

When using Signet of Pelghain you want as many Lucky Hit: Freeze on your Charms.

It is also very important you avoid other sources of Lucky Hit: CC.

The CC-type that procs Stagger on the boss is what determines what he is CCed by. If we don't Freeze to Stagger our Signet of Pelghain will do nothing!

How it Plays

  • Cast Fortress
    • Grants Resolve.
    • Grants upwards of [x]288% Damage.
    • Makes your Skills free to cast.
  • Cast Fanaticism Aura, Holy Light Aura, Defiance Aura for their benefits.
    • They will also proc Resplendence to reduce our Fortress Cooldown.
    • Save them for the moment Fortress is on Cooldown.
  • Cast Aegis to cap out your Block Chance.
  • Spam Clash.

How it Works

Core Mechanics

Damage

The Clash Paladin gets an incredible amount of damage through Seize Them and Resolve Damage Bonus Fortress. When stacking Maximum Resolve we can getupwards of 72 leading to insane damage multipliers.

In order to sustain such a high Resolve count we use Aspect of Dominance. Fortress and Resolve Clash also help keep us topped up.

Rampart of Thorns is used even though we have no Thorns damage because it is the variant with the longest duration allowing us to keep 100% uptime.

Another huge source of Damage is Aspect of Redirected Force, which gives [x]180% Damage on our Amulet. The way we get enough Block Chance to make it shine is by using Aspect of Interdiction.

Igni + Ceh is used to apply Vulnerable and Freeze with our Wolves.

Signet of Pelghain grants [x]20% more damage each second the monster is Frozen which stacks when the monster is frozen multiple times. If we Freeze a monster for 5 seconds, afterwards it will take [x]100% more damage; If we then Freeze it again for 5 more seconds, it will take [x]200% more damage.

To maximize Stagger we apply to Bosses we want one of each source of Lucky Hit Chance: Daze/Stun/Immobilize/Freeze/Slow.

Resource Management

Before we get a high enough uptime on Free Cast Fortress, we can equip a Ring of Starless Skies to solve our Resource issues. Otherwise, we need a lot of Faith per Second on Gear and Lucky Hit: Chance to Restore Resource Tempering Affixes.

Defenses

Aspect of Glynn's Anvil with very high Maximum Resolve achieves immortality.
