Paladin Wing Strikes Build Overview

The Paladin Wing Strikes Arbiter build, designed by @Rob2628, draws all its power from the Arbiter Wings mechanic: by entering Arbiter form, the Paladin unleashes Wing Strikes amplified by an intense stack of critical damage. The two unique pieces of the build form the core of the itemization — the Godslayer Crown as the helmet and Griswold's Opus as the main weapon, the latter concentrating multiple Greater Affixes of Critical Damage Multiplier. The Aspect of Tyrael's Jurisdiction on the amulet and the Aspect of Holy Punishment on a ring further power the critical hit machine, while the unique charm Sanctis of Kethamar in the Talisman transforms each activation of Arbiter form into a damage explosion. This Paladin Wing Strikes Arbiter build is endgame-oriented and targets deep Pit runs, with all Paragon Glyphs raised to rank 100.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

Very high critical damage thanks to Greater Affixes stacked on the weapon, amulet, and both rings
Strong AoE potential and Boss targeting through Wing Strikes in Arbiter form
Deep Paragon synergies with five Glyphs all at rank 100, including the Arbiter Glyph on the Divinity board
Effective support from Subo who prepares critical windows before each engagement
Beru of Light's Epiphany + Sanctis of Kethamar combo in the Talisman to further amplify Arbiter form

Weaknesses

Reliance on Arbiter form cycles — the damage peak is not permanent
Two specific uniques (Godslayer Crown and Griswold's Opus) required to reach full potential
Coordination between Arbiter form, the Mercenary, and Cooldowns required to maximize DPS

The equipment grid shown here details each slot and its affixes for the Starter P200 variant. The two unique pieces are the priority: the Godslayer Crown as the helmet, featuring a Greater Affix of Cooldown Reduction, and Griswold's Opus as the main weapon, which concentrates Greater Affixes of Critical Damage Multiplier, Maximum Life, and Critical Damage. The aspects cover all offensive and defensive axes: the Aspect of Angelic Masterwork on the chest, the Aspect of Celestial Strife on the gloves, and the Aspect of the Indomitable on the Pants ensure the build's durability. On the boots, the Arbiter's Zephyr Aspect supports the Paladin's mobility and reduces the Evade Cooldown. The Aspect of Lagera's Sovereignty completes the critical hit chase on the second ring, while the Aspect of Ascension on the shield provides a welcome damage reduction to survive in challenging content.

Horadric Talisman S14

The Talisman of this build relies on the complete Beru of Light's Epiphany set, whose five set charms (Fer, Mlor, Beru, Linta, and Phoba) are entirely dedicated to the Paladin class. The unique charm Sanctis of Kethamar is the cornerstone of the Talisman: in Arbiter form, it increases Aura Power by 30% and amplifies Wing Strikes damage by a significant multiplier, creating an explosive window on every activation. The Talisman itself is engraved with Critical Damage Multiplier along with two additional charm slots, allowing for even further stacking of critical bonuses.

Gameplay Tips

The rotation revolves around entering Arbiter form: trigger your Wing Strikes immediately after activating the form to benefit from the Sanctis of Kethamar amplification. Before engaging a group or a Boss, let Subo place a Wire Trap to stun nearby enemies, then wait for his Cover Fire to activate the critical damage bonus from his Opening Fire passive. Synchronizing Arbiter form entry with Subo's active effects is the key to maximum damage spikes, especially against Pit Bosses. Maintain a good density of monsters around you so that each Wing Strikes generates its full AoE potential and contributes to your resource recovery.

Talent Tree

This Paladin Wing Strikes Arbiter build revolves around the core skill Wing Strikes and the holy Arbiter form archetype, which amplifies all critical damage output. The detailed interactive Talent Tree for this Starter P200 variant will be available below soon.

Mercenary S14

Subo (Bounty Hunter) is the primary Mercenary for this build. His role is to set the stage before the Paladin's assaults: he places a Wire Trap to stun nearby enemies, then triggers his Cover Fire to slow groups and expose targets. His Opening Fire passive is particularly valuable — it grants you a critical damage bonus against enemies affected by his Cover Fire, opening the ideal opportunity window to chain devastating Wing Strikes. The Piercing Arrows passive enhances Subo's effectiveness against lines of enemies.

In support, Aldkin deploys his Field of Languish to weaken enemies and increase their Vulnerability against the Paladin's assaults. This control–weakening combination creates the ideal conditions to exploit the build's critical damage ceiling on any type of content.

Paragon and Glyphs

The build allocates 240 nodes across five Paragon Boards, with each Glyph raised to rank 100 for optimal endgame scaling. The Start board hosts the Spirit Glyph, Castle hosts the Absorption Glyph, Shield Bearer hosts the Apostle Glyph, and Implacability hosts the Resplendence Glyph. The Divinity board, the last of the journey, hosts the Arbiter Glyph — the cornerstone that directly amplifies synergies with Arbiter form and Wing Strikes. The interactive PSRD viewer below shows the complete layout of allocated nodes across all boards.
