But, it's really not all that worthwhile to bother with BH + Conc unless you're able to sink lots of points into Vigor and Blessed Aim. But, if you want a backup skill that would keep you chugging through non-Pindle-children runs, 20 pointing Vigor and Conc might be enough to make BH worthwhile if all you need it for is to get to Hell Pindle without being rushed. Then, you may still use Vigor to speed up the part of the runs where you're not machine gunning the hapless undead.
Edit: Yes, this is sort of antithetical to the whole concept, since by the time you'd have enough points to make BH a good killer, you're probably already doing Pindle runs. But that might mean that you simply use Holy Bolt to power level to the point where you convert your pally into a Hammerdin. That might be an interesting way to get a high level, very powerful character in record time. If you could manage to get to lvl 87 (a high, but not-too-high watermark for a character built to power level), you'd have 100 skill points, which could mean maxxed BH and synergies, plus max Holy Bolt. Of course, that's not counting prereq's. Even still, I'd be very interested to see if this could be one of the best ladder super-climbers. :huh:
