The aura is useful and it will also give benefit to your party members and hirelings in certain distance. In battle net, I think there is no one dont want to make party with Paladin. For those people who not using Paladin, make a TRY on it. ======================= 4.Paladin Skill Trees ======================= For multiplayer please refer to Skill Combinations section.

Point : * Comment : An excellence skill. It add Attack Rating and Damage. Very fast attack speed in Patch 1.09 Best using it in Boss Fight with Holy Freeze. (*Salvation for those are low resistance) Beside that, I duel with people with this skill. (Charge + Holy Freeze/Thorns) Some of you may feel that this skill cost a lot of mana. This promblem can be solve by using Meditation or Mana Stealing item. Remember, you can only use Charge when you have a distance with the monster or else it just like normal attack.

Point : * Comment : A good skill. Added some Elemental Damage and it is very useful against 'Immune To Physical Attack' monsters.Best combine with Convinction that lower enemies' resistance. But its attack speed is slower than Charge and not effective on Immune/Resist Magic monsters.

The hammer will just moving like planet but its orbit will be bigger after 1 round and it is hard to hit the enemies. Dont put more than 1 point on this skill. This skill is hopeless.

Point : 1 Comment : I am not very interesting in this skill. Seems it cant 100% convert a monster (at skill level 20) and it duration alwalys remain at 16 seconds. I think it is better to kill the mosnter than try to use Conversion. (I think this skill is only has 1 advatage that it can slow down your enemies. But it is not worth to use this skill for this advantage.)

Point : * Comment : This skill is pretty good!! It add your defence(Shield) and chances of blocking. Another good thing is you can use it with auras. It is more like Shiver Armor than aura. Remember to cast Holy Shield anytime when you are fighting. It helps you very much. Beside that, this skill didn't take a action space like auras.

Point : 0 Comment : I dont like this skill very much. Seems it has the cast delay and only did heavy damage when the skill level is high. Beside that, Charge can do more damage when you equip a strong weapon(Nightmare or Hell). *Although it is not my favourite, it is very useful when you are fighting with many undead enemies.

Their prisons are shown clearly on the map. QUEST III:Prison of Ice Available:Talk to Malah Mission :Save Anya who is located in the Frozen River by Crystalline Passage Reward :Permanently +10 to all resistance(from Malah) A class-specific item(from Anya) Note :Continue your journey on the Frigid Highlands and eventually you will find yourself in the Arreat Plateau. Keep going until you reach Crystalline Passage and enter it. In there, there are 2 ways, Frozen River and Glacial Trail. Enter Frozen River and save Anya. Then go back and talk to Malah to get a potion that can release Anya. After giving the potion to Anya, head back to the town and talk to Malah and Anya for your reward. QUEST IV :Betrayal of Harrogath Available:Talk to Anya Mission :Kill Nihlathak at Halls of Vaught Reward :Personalize one of your stuff by Anya Note :After talking to Anya, she will open a portal to Nihlathak's temple. Wander around the temple and eventually you will find a waypoint at Halls of Pain. Keep going and you will reach Halls of Vaught, where Nilathak is situated. Kill him. For strategy, read the Bosses Guide section. The reward here is really nice, the feeling when you have personalize your favourite stuff is fun. In this case, I have personalized my Silks of The Victor Ancient Armor. So, my armor now called "Depthcharge's Silk of The Victor Ancient Armor". Sweet. QUEST V :Rite of Passage Available:Talk to Qual-Kehk Mission :Defeat 3 Ancients to prove yourself worthy Reward :One level up Note :OK, back to Crystalline Passage and now take the Gracial Trail exit. Kepp on going until you reach Frozen Tundra. From there, you can find a path that leads to the Ancients' way. Ancients' way will lead to the Arreat Summit, find and click on the Altar of the Heavens and 3 of the statue will become alive. Beat them without a death or going back to town cuz this will reset them. I have written my strategy in the Bosses Guide section, read it if you need them. After you have beaten them, in normal, if your level is same or higher than level 20, you will upgrade 1 level, if lower, you gain no rewards. For Nightmare, you gotta have at least level 40 to gain the bonus. For Hell, you must be at least level 60 to get the rewards. QUEST VI:Eve of Destruction Available:After beating the Ancients Mission :Kill Baal Reward :Some stuff dropped by Baal Note :Enter Worldstone Keep. Explore all of them and you will find Baal sitting there in the Throne of Destruction, teasing you. Click on him and you will find nothing, so that means you can't fight him now. Baal's kinda cool here, cuz he don't fight wiht you first, instead, he will throw something that looks a ball and a group of his minions appear, and one of them is a unique. I can't remember exactly how many rounds there are, probably 5, then after he has run out of minions, he will go through the portal to the Worldstone Chamber. Follow him, and kill him there. Strategy of mine is written in the same section. Then Tyrael will appear and talk to him, he will open a portal that sends you to a safer place. Enjoy the cinematic, though it's kinda disappointed. Well, boys and girls, it's time for Nightmare again.......... ================== 7.Tips and Hints ================== A)Skill i)Hotkey Combination The Hotkey Combination is very important for Paladin for his Auras. If you do it well, you will be able to use combination of skill you like. Below are the combination of hotkey I suggested. F1--VENGEANCE(LEFT) F5 TO F7--ALL THE AUARS F2--CONVINCTION F3--ZEAL (LEFT) F4--CHARGE(LEFT) F8--Holy Shield (RIGHT) ii)Skill Combination (Paladin Type) a)For fighting minions 1)Zeal + Throns/Fanaticism (Zealot) The combination is best Vs minions. Since Zeal can do multiple attack and Throns can damage the enemies who hit you. Fanaticism add your speed and attack rating. I use this combination to fight in Moo Moo Farm and it is totally no promblems fighting with the cows.Of course,this include using Holy Shield. 2)Smite + Fanaticism + Holy Shield (Smiterdin) Stun all the enemies and slow down them. Fanaticism is for stronger the Smite. Holy Shield here is for some defence and + damage. b)For fighting Unique Monters and Bosses 1)Vengeance + Conviction (Avenger) Best using it when fighting with moster that Immune To Physical Attacks. Vengeance does the elemental damage and Conviction lower the resistance and make more damage. Hmm... a fantastic combination. 2)Charge + ?? (Any type of auras) Charge is a very unique skill for Paladin. Its fast attack speed and knockback ability make you able to do many attack in a short time. Beside that, Charge can combination with any aura u like due to the situation you faced. A good combine. c)For Dueling with Other Player 1)Charge + Holy Freeze (Chargerdin) Charge is used for it fast attack speed and its knockback. Holy Freeze can slow down your opponents although he/she has equiped item that contains 'Cannot Be Frozen'. You can beated your opponents easily with this. d)Others 1)Blessed Hammer + Concentration (Hammerdin) 1 word, Suckz. Low accuracy + low damage, a useless combination. Mostly cant hit the enemies, sure losses in duel.(*Note, Fanaticism dont work with Bleesed Hammer in 1.09) B)Others <> ================== 8.Special Thanks ================== Finally, I want to say 1)Thanks God for everything. 2)Thanks to my parents for everything they gave me. 3)Thanks to GameFaqs.com for giving me a chance. 4)Thanks to Neoseeker for giving me a chance. 5)Thanks to my friend Depthcharge for encourage, helping me and let me use his Walkthrough in my FAQ. 6)Thanks to myselves for writing this FAQ. 7)Thanks to you for reading my FAQ. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Document Copyright 2001 Ryurouden
