S8 Holy Shock Bear Paladin

[@austinrosenbaum3446]

Awesome build man! So cool to see new builds come out for this 25 year old game! 8 Seasons in and you managed to find a dope build!

[@didierballet5535]

been doing bear a din for 15y ma man ;) and since seaason 2 pd2 lol character showcase made its way :D

[@lostperkeles3398]

d2 = 23years old game. PD2 is like 2years old ?

[@didierballet5535]

@@lostperkeles3398 pd2 opened alot of option for weapon from coruption but was in lod for quite a while my man just had to use 6 os phase blade vs now we got 5 dif weapon choice ish that are realy doing an impact

[@byunknwn]

At the end of the day u know the mvp of the season will always be any kind of warewolf or warebear.

[@PallySmith893]

it's ridiculous, this build is fking awesome. Keep up your good work, bro!

[@LuckyLuciano6]

Cool build!

[@krispe2512]

Miss your videos

[@pragma-tv]

that's crazy, saw this build in t3 p8 maps yesterday... it's ridiculously good

[@CBB_Videos]

My youtube loaded poorly, editing to remove question. Build looks super fun. I play too casually with work and stuff so probs wont ever try it but nice to see pally love ♡

[@guuiness]

thats so cool, thanks for sharing. Can't play this season but maybe I'll try S9. Subbed.

[@varyktv]

Absolutely insane, well done!

[@strat8527]

Very nice build!

[@Nukleus]

Fun build

[@Aesonne]

This season I made dual aura pala with native holyshock and holyfreeze from Doom+SW. And after watching this video I'm thinking about combine this builds. They have pretty same skill trees (only resist cold instead fire). It might be a little hard to take bp, zeal requires less ias.

[@Aesonne]

And I also tried another version in plugy now. Dual dreams, native conviction, hustle, a1 vigor merk with pus spitter. Any fast weapon. I cant estimate dps in plugy, but this version has much more pierce and movement speed due to BoS and vigor.

[@Mumuzera]

Your build is very awesome. What tips would you give to those who want to do this build? Where to start? Griswold set, then beast, infinity, the rainbows? Because this build is very expensive. What is your suggestion.

[@gey_3866]

yes, exactly in that order, sorry for the late reply

[@gey_3866]

also the later you make this build the more expensive it will get, when i got everything setup the facets only cost me 0.5 each and the gear was also pretty cheap

[@Mumuzera]

No problem. I am doing this build. Its very strong. And i dont have any rainbows jewel. But its very nice to play. I am loving. Thanks for tips. Now each jewel is 3.0 hr ;[ but i will get there.

[@Lordosvk]

That items has so much diferent stats

[@qzl9]

I love it

[@quangpham8695]

I play another style of bear pal is holy freeze with doom (only on phase blade) and shatter wall . X3 aura 5 frame att . Really strong.

[@gey_3866]

cool, although you might even be able to reach 4 frames with faith a1 merc but take it with a grain of salt since i'm still very unfamiliar with how fanat/burst of speed scales with werebear

[@didierballet5535]

u cant reach it its weapon only rest is % slow fanatism is good only when lets say you kill uber duriel he holy freeze you fana will increase your atk speed massively while frozen@@gey_3866

[@MRkazzai1]

Love it what is the best version? can it be more min-max :O

[@gey_3866]

the only thing, that was missing in that video was a 2 skill anni, but i have that by now, my dmg is currently 45k max, also i think the best version are either this or holy fire, holy freeze does too low dmg and magic doesn't have facets, i personally went for holy shock, because i like seeing bigger numbers

[@Anjrelito]

@@gey_3866 question: what about using metalgrid and sacrifice the unique assasin claw for conc? (cheap version of pride)

[@gey_3866]

@@Anjrelito this build has 99% elemental dmg, throwing away my amulet i'd lose 5k dmg or more and lvl 6 concentration would only add like 300, maybe if you go phys build with this it would be good

[@lostperkeles3398]

holy bear :O i wanna start play pd2 again ^^.

[@MatL-q9f]

What do you think about runemaster? Not super familiar with how ias bps work, would it be possible to hit same speed as gris wep? Obviously tons of other pieces would need to change

[@gey_3866]

you could reach 3fpa with rune master but then you lose all set bonuses from griswold set, so it's more of a physical approach to the build instead of elemental

[@artemtaranenko9042]

Hello. Have you checked which grip on gloves is more effective for this assembly? reduction in target's defense % or + to attack rating?

[@gey_3866]

Both are good

[@brendanfisher1005]

Not sure why you dont do voice audio, but it always adds personality!

[@gey_3866]

i'm trying to warm up to that, but i hate how my voice sounds in videos and i'm also kinda shy ^^

[@Thilindel]

How would this work for a different aura, like sanctuary? A4 Light merc instead of infinity for broke-ass me?

[@gey_3866]

it would work but it's pointless to get an a4 light merc when you already have selfwield sanctuary

[@Thilindel]

@@gey_3866 Haha sorry yeah I wasn't clear. I tried a self shock aura last league and couldn't ever hit. Seems hard to get AR as paladin. I have everything you show except the beast rw. You are a great strategist!

[@gey_3866]

attack rating is less of a problem after s8, because holy auras get %bonus attack rating now, i have around 14k attack rating on the bear with blessed aim merc (forgot to include in the video)@@Thilindel

[@jamesmaddalena2587]

Out of curiosity what character did you make to start the season to get to this

[@gey_3866]

This char, started as holy shock zeal until had beast

[@jamesmaddalena2587]

Ok with griswolds it was ok to kill with zeal ?

[@gey_3866]

I only started doing Maps after getting beast, before that i mostly ran corrupted areas or arcane

Yes but less damage

hey im haveing an issue when i swap to beast to my main gear my set bonus doesnt come back on unless i remove and replace my redemption in its space. all my str and dex are really high so its not from missing stats. Any ideas?

[@gey_3866]

I haven't encountered this issue yet, so no, unfortunately I don't know how to help you. My only suggestion would be to create a ticket on the discord server and discuss with the moderators, they are likely to have info on this

[@gonzalomartinez4480]

Full 5/5 light ? Excep weapon ?

yes, even the weapon has 1 5/5 facet, since i only need to reach 145 ias on the weapon

[@gey_3866]

it's different for every weapon and every class so i can't summarize them here but this will show you everything you need to know mmmpld.github.io/pod-attack-calc/

[@papabe7571]

@@gey_3866 I tested out 145 ias runemaster with 5/5 light Facet and figured out it does way less damage than stormlash with 4 shaels 110 ias. Also because of the - 24 light res proc from telekinesis. What do you think about that?

[@papabe7571]

Oh and why you don't use self crafted gloves? They can hit massiv - target defense ar also ar% and res/stats

[@gey_3866]

@@papabe7571 I like lava gout for the max fire res (because i do dclone) and the fire enchant, but crafted could also defenitely work, i think rune master is better if you'd like to make a physical approach and not elemental, i also thing griswold is better than stormlash, because stormlash only reach 4fpa and doesn't get the massive skill/socket/allres/life etc. bonus from griswold set

[@papabe7571]

@@gey_3866 the problem with dclone is when you try lvl1 or lvl2 you use so many rejus because you take a shitton of dmg even with 90 max res 50 pdr and 3.6k hp

[@Br34kdown]

gran total of 650 HRs lol

[@gey_3866]

Nah i got most of my gear done by day 4 or 5, it was relatively cheap, each facet costed me 0.5 = 5 HR in total, chestplate cost me 0.5, shield cost me 1, helm cost 2, weapon cost 1.25, amulet cost 1,5 so in total without the Infinity it cost me like 11 hrs-ish
