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 with our Wolves.

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

Sadly, most Paladin builds struggle with survivability this season and this build is no different. Having to stack Maximum Resolve on our Defensive Tempering Affixes is a huge hit to our survivability and Aspect of Glynn's Anvil is currently not working. The way we solve this is by stacking GA Maximum Life on every single item.

We also use Cir + Que, which can be supplemented with Amethyst on our Armor and Barrier Generation Tempering Affixes.
