Get it? Shocking? Shock King? lol sorry it had to be done.

I got bored and noticed i had alot of perfect lightning gear (ormus, griffons, etc)

There are two setups I'm thinking about now.

Fast-Consecutive Hits: Zeal Base
Zeal
Holy Shock
Resist Lightning
Holy Shield
Salvation or Conviction

Powerful High Damage Single Shots: Vengeance Based
Holy Shock
Resist Lightning
Vengeance
Coniviction
Holyshield

Stat allocation tips would be useful. As for the above setups, any ideas/suggestions will be appreciated.

I tried the vengance with holy shock route many many ladders ago. I think it was one of my first chars here, so around 5 years ago.

I was running with a friend who used a holy freeze pally. I was using multishot bows to clear the trash and switching to vengance for the added pierce etc on bosses. He worked really well and was a fun build. The huge pulse damage you can get clears the small crap and leaves you to bash away at the bigger stuff.

Go pretty much all vita. you can get away with 20 base str and 10 base dex with some decent charms. I wouldnt go over 50 str and 30 dex though. Sorry i cant write a little more on the subject but its really late and i have work in the morning. Would be a good topic to get going as shock pally is one of my fave builds

Holyshock is pretty badass. I rolled 1 a few years ago. Holy Thunder is an awesome low lvl runeword to start with. I then switched to lawbringer for sanctuary/decrep. Worked really well. End game I went with gris caddy with 3 ethers and 2 prizms. With skillers/heart/eye/brain, he was doing around 55k zeal and 8k pulse. This was with tyreals/dscale/dracs/griffons. Has more of a melee setup.I'll try to find a screenshot.

hmm than to both of you.

i'm thinking about an ele crafted weapon. i got a nice wand that adds 1k light dmg and -20 enemy res and cast lvl 40 charge bolt on striking. i have a crap light jewel and a uber topaz which gave it -3X(dun remember) and 6% skill dmg.

i had it on my convictors light merc, but im going to remake him later.

i think i am also leaning towards zeal. havent quite decided. multi/vengeace sounds dam fun though. never tried it.

hmm keep the info coming guys. im still undecided =/

also saving runes for an auradin lol. thats going to be fun

That CTC charged bolt will get you insta killed vs most bosses. Thats why I used caddy.

wont caddy make my IM bait? thats alot of phys dmg for a ele base.

your main dmg will be based on lightning ( elemental ), because your aura adds lightning dmg, not physical like fanta, also your equipment will be focused on adding lightning dmg, +skills, not %edamage. so the base dmg from caddy and the returned dmg from IM can be overriden with some neat DR , DR% and wise play ; it wont be a real problem unless you play mindlessly hiting everything

You also want phys damage...without life leech your paly won't get out of normal. Much less lvl at all.
