[@GameGamesGaming-tc8ur]

The same ones that neutered Melee builds in 1.10?

[@bodieh1261]

For those grumbling about the cost of this build. The problem is folks having grief and fortitude fever for every melee build and this is perpetuated by every streamer and youtuber out there. Are they good? Sure, not debating that, but are they necessary for a tesladin to function excellently in any way? Nope. That's 2 unnecessary Lo runes. Max dmg life charms are likewise unnecessary, you don't need the dmg nor the ar, many forget that max conv reduces target def by 90%. ~5-6k ar on a lvl 90+ toon gives u about >80% chance to hit ubers, your final cth is not reflected in the stat screen. So just skip the stupidly overpriced 3/20/20 small charm nonsense and go with plain large or grand vita charms which cost a fraction of what small vita charms cost. What you are left with is a build that tops any melee build(by a large margin, both in boss kill speed and clear speed, less smite for boss killing obviously), with the ability to mindlessly solo ubers(you don't even need a cta if u kill them individually, or u can just tank and kill all 3 if u do have a cta). All that for effectively 2 jah's and change, I.e. less than an enigma, which is yet another item what half the world uses in virtually every build. Don't get me wrong, 2 jah's aren't cheap, this isn't a starter friendly build, but the point is tesladin's needn't be nearly as expensive as many guides make them out to be. As someone who mains a zealer(regular phys until I could afford just 1 then eventually 2 dreams) I'd pick this any day over any other pally build, even enigma hammers. With max conv there are literally 2-3 mobs in the entire game that are remotely immune to you and that can be easily(and cheaply) solved. Here are my gear recommendations for a more budget friendly version. Weapon: Azurewrath, shael'd or 15ias jewel(nothing will be immune to you), the 250-500 cold dmg is also buffed by conv, don't sniff at it. Crescent Moon works well too for obvious reason, or any runeword that gives cb/open wounds that is socketable in a sword(u want a pb for an easy 72ias 5.2 breakpoint). My choice for ubers and boss killing is kingslayer for cb/ow but really any of the budget cb runewords work. I personally use botd, it's half the price of a grief atm, brings 60ias and dual leech. Gloves/boots: any gloves work, 20ias res rares, chancies for mf/gf etc. I prefer dracs for general safety/utility and gob toe's for cb. No I haven't had any issues with confuse conflicting with life tap. Also, LoH is unnecessary cos dmg to demons doesn't affect lightning dmg(I.e. majority of your dmg if u don't use grief) the 20ias/50fr is nice tho. Belt: nos coil or gold wrap if u need the IAS, tgods/dungos/string if u don't Armor: any 4os armor with 4 cheap light facets, I personally prefer -3/+5 facets cos they cost a pul-um each and u don't need the -res. +light dmg applies twice(double dips) to holy shock's melee portion, giving u 40% more lightning dmg(adds 10k lightning dmg per hit vs 7k without facets). Any cheap +15 light ormus works too. Alternatively, 3os Nat's or black hades works too. If you need the IAS, just substitute 1 or 2 facets for IAS jewels as required. Treach works fine too but u rarely need that much IAS. Wealth or skulders for mf/gf. Duress if u don't have a cb/ow weapon.

[@ahouat7913]

[@KaizenLegacy]

A couple tweaks to this gives you another damage type. I was Ares on your Sinbear stream. I was using Dream Helm, Dream Shield, Dragon Armor, Hand of Justice Weapon, Highlords, Dracs, Thundergods, Bul-Kathos Wedding Band, Ravenfrost, and Gore Riders. Max Zeal, level 25 conviction, Max Resist Fire, max Resist Light, Max Salvation, and you can decide between Sac and Holy Shield for remaining points. That gives you a level 30 Holy Fire Aura, level 30 Holy Shock Aura, and level 25 Conviction Aura pulsing. Trash mobs typically die in 1-2 pulses in 8-Player Hell. For Ubers, if you want to kill them a little faster, you can swap out Hand of Justice for Grief or Last Wish (or, if you want to go for even more leech, EBOTD). And before people start screaming - yes, this is a ridiculously expensive build, but that doesn't make it any less fun! This is my favorite build in the game (made it for the first time ~15 years ago). The only thing it lacks is teleport, but when everything falls over around you, walking isn't so bad.

[@Oaty86]

I would love to see a budget version of builds like this and maybe a progression plan to get to this.

[@gunhunter]

For budget version, you could use crescent moon in a phase blade and no dreams (cos budget). However, you will need to put skill point into holy shock and use the aura, with no conviction. This means you will run into issues with lightning immune.

[@Nah_Bohdi]

I think for most elemental damage builds like this a budget version just means lightning resistances are mostly something you avoid/use merc or something. Tesladin isnt a physical damage build so you really have to widdle the resisted down over time.

Very Expensive Build indeed but it's also very Strong and Versatile. The Jah, Pul and Mal are rare mid to high runes. I haven't seen those yet in-game. Is it possible to put Crushing Blow, or not needed anymore?

[@wonderthigh]

you can use gob toes or gore riders for cb

[@skillzwitpillz1259]

Is the merc really necessary? I'm used to running my hammerdin without one

[@mr.j8356]

How do the DREAM Auras stack? Do you get a lvl30 holy shock or are 2 lvl15 holy shocks ticking away?

[@DNGR369]

30

[@斷水流大師兄-q4y]

can i use this build but change all the charms to magic found ?? will it be any serious problem of killing boss ??

[@Zderzak]

Ahh the build which is my long term goal. So far I'm missing all of the pricey runewords, but if I liquidated bunch of pricey items I own I would be able to buy one Jah. It might take me whole year to complete it I think as I do not play Diablo as much anymore.

[@PhilD211]

I used to swap from grief + loh to beast caduceus and dracs for bosses and ubers. Absolutely untouchable and come on, at some point it is just about stacking auras

[@toddmyer9063]

I was just looking for a tesladin build yesterday and boom llama comes in clutch

[@zREDDINGTONz]

Honest question.. how does he have holy shock active when it’s not in his skill bar? Is there a trick to this I don’t know?

[@TeexSx]

for doing ubers does dracs even matters when you proc confuse now and then ? dont the on overwrite the other 🤔

[@theconstantine19]

You can make 3 frame speed with Fanaticism and Ifinity on your Merc. Is this better than max Convi?

[@bogdanvoznij3537]

Thanks for the guide. I've built my pal exactly like this and still I'm getting oneshoted by uber Baal for some reason. I can tank Diablo and Meph endlessly, but Baal is just BAM - you dead. Don't know what's the issue. The gear is same, the skills are same.

[@ЄвгенДомашець]

Hello, what merc i should go if i have infinity on merc and fanatysm on pal? I try almost any merc from ACT2 and hes aura didnt work. I also using Last Wish.

[@infin8geometry70]

So y do we have 3 holy shock auras? Do they stack? Or 3 seperat damage numbers?

[@galion1991]

Do holy shock synergies apply to the holy shock from dream??

[@phoenixzohar]

Yes

[@desmondtan7807]

If use dream runeword at demonhead helm,is the repair cost high since the durability max only 20?

[@jteternal2]

Fortitude or enigma for this build?

[@larbi8302]

Hey llama can you explain the new Necro Hell speedrun strat using the fire golem and the edge bow. Thanks for the great content

[@Anterwaare306]

The problem with relaying on conviction to score hits on ubers is that it works additively with the frozen armor. So you have like -97% def but Baal and Izual can cast an armor for ~+250% + they also have a chance to block, so you end up really struggling against them (baal esp.). Smite really is tailor made for killing ubers.

[@yungossan379]

Most pally builds have 1 point in smite. I run tesladin with 1 point in smite just for ubers and it clears just as fast, if not faster than specialized smiter. Guessing a hammerdin with 1 smite can do similar. Just get dracs and gore riders and smite away.

[@krisreddish3066]

On the other hand uber meph almost needs you to use conviction at high level to cancel his. He convicts you. But no mater what pally build, one point in smite does the trick for the rest depending on gear.

[@Yaksonator]

What headphones do you use?

[@dudaseifert]

what does the voice in the beggining say? i can never understand it (please don't answer with "what's up youtube, mrllamasc here")

[@MadeIn619]

Saw some other vids that suggested more points into sacrifice and less into zeal bc sac adds more dmg. Any thoughts out there?

[@DNGR369]

MAX Both. Zealer needs to Zeal. You have enough points for it. Early game- 1 point into Zeal and rest Sacrifice.

[@Liwet.]

What level is your Holy Shock and does putting points into your own Holy Shock improve the one that comes from Dream?

[@bodieh1261]

lvl 30 and no it doesnt stack with your own holy shock, adding to the synergies works with the holy shock from dreams tho(res lightning and salv)

[@josephkim007]

So if you run dream for your helm and shield, does it do double damage?

[@mrkrebser8971]

can the holy shock be stacked on the helmet and shield? on level 30 or why on head and shield?

[@najasiv5202]

Why 2x Dream? Are those stacking or something?

[@OhEmGeeGee]

I thought that the +skill don't affect the holy shock from items and synergies don't benefit from +skill either do they?

[@kristianbata3242]

So are you putting anything into holy shock?

[@Musicpins]

Grief is OP, Lama how does hand of justice compare with the new buffed Holy fire? Dragon and that was always one of my "dream" builds haha

[@michaeldajose8824]

Would Chains of Honor work on this instead of Fortitude?

[@p.e.4442]

Sorry for the smooth brain question, but how is he running two auras at once?

[@Ekinpot]

hi lama why did you choose blessed aim aura for merc

[@sicnesse752]

Can you make a version with dual dragon and hand of justice for triple holy fire aura?

[@drumcorpful]

Should I level as Hammerdin all the way to 75 or?

[@mrmrsplinkegaming2426]

Or just use pride and a2 might merc? Vrs faith bow merc?

[@martinhofman80]

My question with this build is whether Holy shock damage adds up if I put a Dream on my merc too, in otherwords, is holy shock gonna be at level 45? (Two dreams on me, one on a merc)

[@DNGR369]

whatever is the highest aura of the two will be used. The lower level aura will be cancelled/overwritten. Level 30 Dream and level 10 Holy Shock skill = Level 30. Merc also has no synergy for this aura so the pulse damage is reduced, although will benefit from the Conviction aura you use.

[@enriqueamayo459]

Would be this build good choque for uber in hardcore?

[@cooljmac2]

I run this exact same build. I use Enigma now instead of Fort as i wasn't sure the ED was being applied or a big enough impact. Having a teleport is nice. I only struggle with 2 types of spawn... the bone exploder dolls (bone fetish) I call them and Lord De Seis. However you can kite them and the holy shock will kill them.

[@bodieh1261]

i personally use azurewrath for everything but ubers, sanc aura knockback works wonders against bone fetish's and lord de seis and ull have 0 issues with the small handful of light immunes u cant break cos of the added cold/magic dmg.
