Quote:Conviction is capped at level 25, depending on your +skill gear (Captain's grand charms anyone) you could max out the skill with about 15 points. AKAIK Lower Resist stacks with Conviction, so a triad of Pala/Necro/Sorc (even a mono-elemental) is the absolute killmachine.
Thanks! This tid-bit of info. really really helped me with my build. Assuming I ever get my "dream" gear, I should be able to hit +10 for offensive auras relatively easily. That extra 5-skill points allowed me Holy Shield. So now I have 15-Conviction, 1-Holy Shield (where it will stay), 1-Vengeance (until I max synergies), 1-Salvation (where it will stay - great party skill BTW), and am slowly maxing my Resists to increase my Vengeance damage. On my dream list is the Guardian Angel armor for its +skill and +block, but the +15% maximum resists will not be necessary with maxed Resists skill, will it? Anyways, I was surprised to see that Vengeance does leech back some mana upon striking - I thought it was all elemental damage - however it is very minimal; I often have to switch to zeal to recoup lost mana.
Well, it's a great build when you've grown bored of everything else. I highly recommend it. And I think it should be good against the Ubers, but have yet to fight one, so I cannot really say.
