I haven't made one of these since back in 1.08, when there were no synergies. I see now that if I max the synergies Cold, Fire, and Light resist, I will be doing +270% elemental damage respectively, however if I max Vengeance, I'll only be doing +184% elemental damage. If I max the synergies and vengeance, I'll be doing +384% elemental damage, however will be limited in scope in what I'm capable of doing, not to mention, what will my aura be? In theory, the perfect Vengeance paladin would use Conviction, however I've been giving this some second thought. You see, I have a Ber and Ist and my friend said he'd give me his Ber and Mal to make a Infinity (level 12 Conviction) in a polearm for my merc. I find this prospect very exciting and am seriously considering it and maxing Fanaticism instead. Not only will this give me a huge speed boost, but will increase my damage +373% and save me quite a few skill points, enough to take Holy Shield and still eventually someday max all my synergies and vengeance. Unfortunately, I've just spent 2-days leveling my paladin and getting him to level 25 and placing all of my skill points for Conviction before this Infinity option came up, so I'll have to remake my paladin if I choose to go this route. The only thing is I feel he'd be more of a "bastard" build, not really relying on his own skills. Call me sappy, but I don't really like that, however the munchkinism in me really want to maximize :evilgrin: .
