You Are Already Dead - Ignite Stacking Warpath Paladin Build Guide

(mostly) 1-Button Spin2Win

Steady gear progression

Easily available Uniques

Superb mobility

Low initial damage leads to backtracking for loot

Endgame damage doesn't scale exceptionally well -> rather long boss fights

Missing good enabler Unique(s)

Gotta get close and personal to deal damage

The core gameplay loop is easy:

Lunge to the nearest enemy. fire up Warpath and go to town on the mobs. You rarely let go of the right mouse button, because as long as you spin, you win. Warpath makes you immune to Stun, so you can spin right through enemy packs as long as you don't stop the skill.

Your hits apply multiple Ignite stacks that you scale up in damage via DoT/Fire affixes. These are your main source of damage.

Keep your fingers ready for Holy Aura and Potion for survivability.

Volatile Reversal has multiple purposes: use it for that bit of extra damage when you feel safe, as a tactical retreat/relocation or emergency lifegain when you're close to death. Just remember where you were, 4 seconds ago...

Smite from Palarus's Sacred Light is a little bit of free damage that you don't really have to worry about - but it looks good, doesn't it?

Normal mobs should die from the hit damage and initial Ignite ticks alone. Rares and bosses will look like they're taking no damage at first, but when Ignite is maxed out and ticking down on them, they'll start to melt.

Keep damaging things so Bleeding Heart keeps healing you, it's your main source of lifegain.

Here's what you do after the campaign:

1. Get your good Uniques,
2. Fix your Blessings,
3. Slowly start pushing Corruption, do the Forgotten Knights faction,
4. Work towards good 3+ LP weapons and 2+ LP armor.

In boss fights, leverage your mobility; stay close to the boss and spin around it. Many bosses have directional attacks that will target your last known location, but have a windup animation, so you'll already be gone from there.

Since targeted attacks are "solved" by always moving around, ground/arena effects and delayed explosions are the things you have to watch out for. Remember Volatile Reversal when you think you're dead in the center of an incoming Orobyss meteor.

Heorot fights: Face him towards a wall, and only do small back-and-forth movements in a 180° cone in his front. If he charges away from you while Blizzard is up, you will need all your potions to survive and catch him with Lunge.

Lagon and Mountain Beneath fights: Count your blessings. Both arena stages have few enemies you can leech health from, so you'll be sitting ducks. Use Volatile Reversal before potions to regain health, but remember how much health you had 4 seconds ago.

All other bosses I've faced so far did not prove to be an issue. Some of them, even Shades and Harbingers, will just fold to an angry guy continuously spinning around them.
