Season 9 Day 1 Holy Bolt & FoH Paladin progression update in Project Diablo 2 (PD2)

In this video I go through my progression after the first real day of playing the new season 9 in Project Diablo 2. I went with a Holy Bolt & Fist of the Heavens Paladin build to kick off my season and as you can see in the video I got really lucky early on. Forgot to mention I got a gul from hell forge as well, which helped me get Hoto early (unfortunate with minimum roll on resist)
Will probably stick to this paladin for quite a while this season, so will do different builds and content later. Lmk in the comments if you want to see more progress update videos like this.

[@teskataftaba]

great vid,how you handle throne magic immune mobs or the map magic immune?:)

[@Monarchond2]

thanks. I try to avoid magic immunes as much as possible, but when I have to I just use fist of the heavens which has lightning damage or rely on my merc to kill

[@johnm.5774]

Wow, you crafted that shield? That’s insanely good. So you took a magic shield and crafted Safety, and it rolled all those nice affixes like +1 to Paladin skills? Didn’t realize crafting is this good in PD2.

[@Monarchond2]

Yeah the crafting system is amazing in PD2. It feel very much worth it to do it.

[@EderMatos07]

Nice progression man, how do i craft 20 fct belt? I tot the max was 10.

[@PWDcarrioN]

10fcr from the craft always and you can roll a second fcr roll varying from i think 2-10fcr

[@Monarchond2]

As PWD says you can get a bonus roll on top of the FCR if lucky. And you could also slam 10 fcr on a belt

Question,how do I login,when I try to login a sign appears it says,I have a 16 numbers Legacy and are disabled,can’t play the game.

[@Rudipu]

You have to convert the "old" 16 letter key to a "new" 26 letter key by registering it on your battlenet account on the website. Just google "how to convert 16 letter d2 key" if you need more help how.

[@robertonuno2592]

@@Rudipu thank you so much,I will do that.

I went energy shield nova sorc starter and i’m honestly regretting not going pally. It’s going to take me forever to get to maps. Ive been non stop farming arcane sanc

[@evancasto1988]

Pally op I feel like nova sorc is such a rough build to start w tho

[@ShoahBiz]

I’m getting a late start but was thinking of doing lightning/chain lightning sorc for arcane. Is it not treating you well. Maybe I’ll stick with what I know and roll something to farm chaos

[@Monarchond2]

Sorc is a strong starter because it farms LOD content fast and well. But progressing to maps does require a bit more gear. Especially for lightning based build. If lod content gets to stale you should consider going one of cold builds like ice barrage or maybe meteor to farm a bit harder content until u get more geared. Hope you caught a break tho since you wrote this comment

[@Saveddrip]

ugh i cant get maps to drop!

[@Monarchond2]

It is difficult to get the first maps in lod content for sure. But once you get into maps you should be sustaining urself pretty well. Hope you gotten some by now

[@Saveddrip]

@@Monarchond2 drowning in them now =p

[@yingyang5632]

Foh pal probably one of the strongest chars to start a season. Used to be my go-to, but always going pal is also boring

[@Monarchond2]

Can only agree after a week of playing it. Super strong, barely need any gear to farm CS somewhat effeciently day 1. But yeah too much of the same thing always get stale. Good thing there are so many other cool options to go to in pd2 so u dont have to go the same each season

[@Jakob-kz9tc]

Dansker bror?

[@Monarchond2]

Yes

[@noitaminasan3295]

Please consider not just opening your inventory and 'mousing' (if thats the correct word) over each item for half a second. Thats really annoying, even if you can pause it

[@Monarchond2]

Ty for the feedback. Will try and improve for future videos!

[@brennanreilly9475]

I get frustrated at this sort of thing but later on in the video he mouses over each item slowly and gave me lots of time to read
