- Sacrificing a second dream, in favor of a bow, the Ranger Paladin still can pull off some decent aura damage to punch through enemies, regardless of their resists. This post-game build is one of those builds that you get for just exploring a wide variety of areas in the game, with very few enemies able to pose a threat to it.

Would definitily like to see a budget version
I’ve been toying around with ideas for these elemental auras. Thanks for adding another to the mix
melee setup is the god of tick-damage, bow is the best tri-elemental combat, melee is a better tank-mono or tank-dual elemental :)
I found the Ward Bow the other day was planning on a Ranger Danger Pally and then bam you post this video! haha
Builds like these are great builds to take a break on other meta builds such as hammerdins.
that is such a crazy build, never thought youd be able to make an archer pally XD love to see budget version of this to build towards :D
there's a few budget varieties, not as strong in hell, but still fun :) - there's also a physical ranger too (unfortunately a few of the older ranger builds died off with the hell changes in later LoD patches :( )
20 years ago I had the idea of combining an Auradin and Vengeance Pally together. I called it The Doom Dragon Dream on account of the runewords used. Doom wep gives you Holy Freeze, Dragon armor gives you Holy Fire and Dream helm gives you Holy Shock. Put your points into resist fire, cold, shock and salvation. Then use Vengeance for your attack and Conviction for your Aura.
You'll have 4 auras going doing ele dmg and reducing ele resist. As well as slapping stuff with a bunch of ele dmg with vengeance.
You have so much resist that you can focus on other stats on shields and boots. Like other proc effects or what have you.
You can also put an Infinity on your Merc and have him doing mental amounts of lightening dmg since everything has reduced resist.
Doom Dragon Dream lol wtf
If you switch the holy freeze to the merc and you focus on the fanaticism you'd definitely be clapping cheeks.
@@kristopherleslie8343 act 1 merc with Faith for fanaticism (anyway you don't need an act2 merc for killing stuff for you; you just need them as an aura provider)
@@Zeon7510 right we know that 🤷🏽♂️
Paladin face made laugh every time I left his face uncovered :))) he is like an old man trying to prove himself. Btw this is a nice build
Llama's riftsin video showed that attack speed cap from melee builds have been removed. Perhaps this also applies to xbows. Demon machine/enchant builds might actually be viable if that's the case.
It applies to all animations (yes, even casting), it's been around the community for a while, but I was hoping they'd patch it out before it blew up - it's one reason I haven't done a certain build video yet.
RANGER DANGER!
Nice build! I wanted to make a ranger too. Are you sure the different holy fire stack?
I think that one of the main downsides of this build is that its main attack is to shoot one simple arrow all the time instead of something cooler, like an Explosive Arrow or Guided Arrow, etc.
Though, the Hydra procs maybe can make up for that,
yea, there will be a few more ranger builds over time (going to space them out though so people don't get paladin burnout) - since those tend to favor something other than tri-elemental aura ;)
@@Alzorath maybe you can make a Tier List about the best Bows and Crossbows that fire Explosive Missiles and a second video with builds around them, including another Tri-Elemental Ranger
yes deffocusfireandusesomeofthoseamazingoptionslikedemonmachine
The stronger alternative to this build would be to use only the holy shock aura from the paladin himself and then use alot of light facet. 3 elements are funny but this would be stronger.
Note that what's cool with widow maker is that guided arrow always hit, so no AR issue.
I want the budget cousin also!
Interesting to see something off meta 👌🏽
I just switch out my azure wrath and dream shield for my HoJ bow. I use enigma though. Max fire resistance and lightning resistance auras. I think I still have like 20 skill points and like 100 stats. Azurewrath does 500 magic damage and 500 cold. Nuff said.
Wonder if Mist or Wisdom would make a difference for this build
Do auras from gear stack with an actively cast one? For example, if you had dream helmet + shield + a lvl 20 holy shock as your paladin's aura, would that all stack to make a 50+ holy shock aura?
Sadly no - equipment only stacks with equipment and character only stacks with +skills :(
@@Alzorath I figured so since I'd never seen anyone suggesting that as a possible build. Shame. Thanks for the answer!
Also, I believe the equipment aura stacks only with the same character wearing it? (equipment auras from your Merc don't stack with your own equipment auras)?
So apparently exploding arrow will sync with holy fire aura in a weird way. In a different video, I saw someone using kuku with a holy fire auradin (no dragon, just regular holy fire as build base). In that video, the author demonstrated that the holy fire adds to weapon damage and each explosion, so the holy fire gets added on exponentially when you use exploding arrow. I think this could be a dope build for using Kuku/Blood raven with a dragon armor on pally, since it would allow you to dramatically increase your auradin damage on the exploding arrows. Someone should try this and confirm!
It's actually an old build that did that, it's not terrible right now, but the old version was straight up broken (I want to say it was 1.08 or 1.09, you were able to put a kuko on a fire sorc with a ton of fire charms and clear cows faster than a javazon)
Nice amulet 4:02
yup, one of my prize crafts from LoD
do the resist auras and salvation skill points increase the passive gear auras damage?
yup, synergies effect ctc effects and auras, however plus skills do not.
@@Alzorath oh nice!
Why not the rune word on a sword dream in shield and only need 1 point in zeal
I like to max blessed aim for the passive rating increase
Would be good if vengeance worked with a ranged weapon, wouldnt be totally useless skill then be great for this build with all the synergys being used.
I would love vengeance (as well as conversion and sacrifice) to be added to ranged weapons. It would open up so many builds.
Can a merc wearing hand of justice and dragon armor sync with pally synergy?
Merc doesn't get bonuses from the players skill synergy unfortunately
And what's about using this gear on a sorc with maxing fire,cold and lightning masteries? ;)
There is a sorc variety on this, though it's a melee character usually (you wouldn't do max cold mastery though - even if you had holy freeze from an item like doom)
Test it with a ravenclaw or demon machine?
Demon machine, kuko, and brand are all fun with it, though tou lose about half your holy fire levels
Blizzard desperately needs to fix their aura glitch. I'm trying to run a tesladin and the auras switching on and off every 2-3 seconds is ruining the build that took me since launch to make.
so the dragon and hand of justice auras are confirmed to stack?
yup, granted auras combine level
Imagine dueling this...
oh, it would get wrecked in pvp, but it would definitely be irritating to deal with with all the auras lol
@Alzorath - This is going to be broken as hell on 2.4 🤣
With all those buffs to aura's and the fact this is a range build... Yeah, huge damage.
Btw - What offensive element aura is better?
Fire, Cold or Lightning?
I'm currently building a budget Ranger Auradin.
depends on where you're farming and what gear you plan to use - generally the easiest one to make punchy is lightning (Holy Shock), but there is a time and place for each one (yes, even holy freeze)
@@Alzorath
I was considering going with Shock for me, but a Holy Freeze merc.
I will use Fire through normal, then towards the end of normal, respec to Lightning.
I'm using offline mode on console, so trading is out of the question, so I have to find or craft, everything.
Kinda looking for a budget version of this one, until I can make Dragon RW on something, and get the Fire back that way.
So yeah, big amount of work, starting from scratch.
conviction aura also reduces enemy defense
yup, that's why we use infinity on this - it's where the 83% reduction in enemy defense in the mercenary section comes from.
so I feel like there is one critical information missing here. why a bow? I dont think this was ever explained. why not make hand of justice in a sword and then you can have a shield as well for dream. thus you'd have lvl 30 holy shock, and increased resistances and much more stats. I mean sure its now a melee build instead of ranged, but is that the only reason?
I think the point was to do a "ha look at this crazy offspec gimmik build" rather then "check my auradin flavor". Because a ranged paladin isn't very common I assume its purely for entertainment.
That, and going tri-elemental melee means you can't go full synergy without skipping combat skills
@@Alzorath but even if you do go melee and you dont take those skills, the only difference is still just ranged vs melee, you still dont have any skills that benefit ranged either. so it doesnt seem to make a difference in that aspect. I mean the only real difference I see is you're giving up another set of stats on a shield, so you can attack from range. I dont think giving up another dream runeword is worth have such longer range of attack. not to mention a lot of the damage isn't going to be coming from you landing hits anyways, a lot of it is from the aoe damage and having a second dream just increases that by having a level 30 holy shock instead of a level 15 holy shock. not to mention all the other stats that come with it.
@@Darkendragon It's just a fun build dude, not a optimize build meta top 5 all time ever... Indead paladin are better to use a shield but that's not the point.
@@Darkendragon I think the advantage here, is that since u don't necessarily go holy shield, might be better to engage from a distance than try to melee swing
