Build Overview

This Season 15 Paladin build hub brings together three variants built on a shared foundation: stacking Zeal and Resolve at the same time, turning every hit into a progressive power spike. The three variations — centered respectively on Zeal, Divine Lance and Clash — share the same defensive backbone (active auras, Fortress) and differ only in the offensive skill spammed on repeat. The equipment grid and talent tree detailed below correspond to the Clash variant, designated as the hub's main variant.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Recommended Equipment

The top equipment priority is the amulet: it must carry the Transfigured aspect, imprinted via a Kulean Tuning Prism, otherwise the character's survivability is no longer guaranteed according to the build's author. The rest of the gear combines several unique pieces geared toward both offense and survivability, including the Paingorger's Gauntlets on the hands, Tibault's Will on the Pants, and the Mantle of the Grey on the chest. Depending on the chosen variant, the main weapon and helm slot change: one relies on the mythic Harlequin Crest, another on the Crown of Lucion, while the weapon alternates between Red Sermon, Light's Rebuke or Shard of Verathiel depending on the case. The build is rounded out by a dozen imprinted aspects spread across the armor and weapon slots, detailed slot by slot in the grid alongside.

Horadric Seal S15

On the Clash variant, the talisman is built around five pieces of the Righteous Will set paired with Griswold's Opus in the free charm slot, on a Legendary seal that grants an extra slot. The Zeal and Divine Lance variants instead rely on the Dauntless Faith set paired with the Blood-Mad Idol. In both cases, the author recommends keeping only two pieces of the active set if you prioritize survivability, at the cost of one fewer free charm.

Build Variants

The hub brings together three variations built on the same Zeal/Resolve foundation, each organized around a different offensive skill: Zeal for the clear-speed-oriented version, Divine Lance for a steadier ranged approach, and Clash — the main variant detailed in this article — for melee gameplay. To gain survivability on any of the three, the author recommends keeping two pieces of the same set on the Horadric Seal, at the cost of one fewer free charm slot.

Gameplay Tips

The rotation consists of looping the chosen variant's offensive skill to build up Zeal and Resolve stacks, while letting the active auras (Fanaticism Aura, Defiance Aura, Holy Light Aura) and Consecration run in the background to maintain damage and survivability. The author remains cautious about the class's current state: in his view, the Paladin needs a rebalance, and this build doesn't fully make up for that gap — so nothing should be neglected on the gear side, starting with the amulet aspect mentioned above.

Paragon and Glyphs

The paragon board is organized around five glyphs: Sentinel, Resplendence, Spirit, Chip, and Feverous, covering both the offensive power scaling and the defensive support needed to soak damage at full farming speed. The exact placement of rare and legendary nodes is visible directly in the interactive board below.
