When it comes to determining which build is the most effective in Diablo 2: Resurrection, there will always be a spirited debate on the subject. Because of the wide range of player strengths and weaknesses, it is impossible to create a single cookie-cutter design that will work for everyone who picks up the game and plays it well.
The issue of Blessed Hammers not functioning as effectively in the most recent version of this game has been resolved, so there is no longer any reason to be concerned about this issue any longer. The Paladin's best build will continue to be this build as long as there are no unforeseen circumstances; in fact, with only a few exceptions, it will be the best build in the entire game. It is, on the other hand, significantly more difficult to maintain this momentum until the end of the game and to hit that clutch late-game shot. Players should prioritize certain stats and skills from the beginning of the game through mid and endgame in order to aid them in the entire leveling process rather than just reaching the highest possible level. The following section of this build explains why.
-
While the Paladin possesses a number of abilities, a number of those abilities are widely regarded as some of the best skills available in the endgame for any class
-
Concentration is the default aura for this purpose because it is the only aura that can assist with Blessed Hammer while it is active, making it the best choice
-
This aura has been designated as the default aura for this purpose as a result
-
In addition, it is critical to raise the levels of Vigor and Blessed Aim to at least level 20 because these skills provide passive benefits to Blessed Hammer when used in conjunction with the weapon
-
It is one of the most effective defensive skills in the game, and it provides a Paladin with almost everything he or she requires to function as a physical tank in the vast majority of situations

In addition to providing the Hammerdin with an incredible number of additional skills, these items, when combined with some of the best Runewords the game has to offer, allow him to castrate significantly faster, allowing him to cover the entire room with Blessed Hammers much more quickly. D2R switch runes is not advantageous to this build to increase its attack rate or physical damage, as the Blessed Hammer is a spell, as evidenced by the large amount of caster gear that has been used on it to date. We recommend that you use the small charms to increase resistances to 75% before using them to boost generic defenses because they have a short lifespan.
During the Paladin's Blessed Hammer attacks, the Desert Mercenary casts a soothing aura around him, preventing him from escaping or closing in on his prey. This is effective while the Paladin is casting his Blessed Hammers. Considering that the Paladin does not deal physical damage, extracting every last ounce of energy from the mercenary is more important than it is for the majority of other builds. Mercenaries are called upon to pick up the slack when faced with an adversary who is magically impervious to their attacks and finish the job.
