LootCubeFist of the Heavens Paladin (FoH)
A ranged lightning sniper build. Fist of the Heavens sends a bolt from the sky that releases Holy Bolts on impact, dealing lightning damage to the target and magic damage to undead in a wide area. Conviction aura shatters lightning immunities.
Pros
- +Ranged playstyle — safer than Hammerdin
- +Conviction aura breaks lightning immunities
- +Holy Bolts deal magic damage to undead (bypasses all immunities)
- +Excellent for Chaos Sanctuary and undead-heavy areas
Cons
- -FoH has a 1-second cooldown — cannot spam
- -Weaker vs non-undead monsters (no Holy Bolt splash)
- -Requires Enigma for competitive mobility
- -Less versatile than Hammerdin for all-area farming

Play Style
Teleport to monster pack, cast Fist of the Heavens on a target — the bolt hits and releases Holy Bolts in all directions. Against undead, the Holy Bolts deal massive magic damage in a huge area. Against non-undead, rely on the direct FoH lightning damage boosted by Conviction. Use Holy Bolt as filler between FoH cooldowns.
Respec Guide
Before
- -Holy Fire or Blessed Hammer leveling points
After
- +Fist of the Heavens 20, Conviction 20 — core duo
- +Holy Shock 10 — synergy (continue to 20)
- +Holy Bolt 10 — synergy + filler DPS (continue to 20)
- +Holy Shield 1 + 1pt prereqs
Can also level as FoH from Lv 30 directly if you saved skill points, but Holy Fire leveling is faster.
Mercenary
Act 2 Offensive (Might Aura) — Insight for mana sustain (FoH is mana-hungry). Treachery for survivability. Conviction from your own aura handles immunities.
