Hmm, i was speculating on sacrifice and redemption and eventually fanatisism too, as it is a damage synergy for sacrifice, and adds even more by itself when equipped. And since im speculating to go the 2hander route, holy shield isnt an issue. Plus it spares you the hassle of trying to get a herald of zakarum, which have been virtually impossible on usa east of late. They get ripped away instantly. And go VERY high in trades to elites even.
That build is a four skill build idea and is attainable around lvl 70-80 which is feasible for most chars, that doesnt have the patience to level into the 90 range and beyond. So you will have sacrifice and sanctuary as main skills, switching to redemption to heal yourself and evaporate bodies. And lastly fanatisism when encountering normal monsters.
Originally i had just thought of holy bolt, but after having tried it out. Im finding it not to be to my like. Like how it doesnt pierce. Making it hard to hit monsters or players engaged in a tight melee. Sanctuary gives a lot more room to pick of undead with the sanctuary effect.
Also, wouldnt a dedicated weapon skill be more suited for sanctuary? Since sanctuary doesnt add a straight number of damage like holy shock do, but just tacks on a percentage. So you kinda need both smite and holy shield to make an effective smiter, and a high power shield to get decent damage.
Seems to me that you could get more damage and early with a weapon skill.
