i've already made a torchadin, based off a guide i saw on the b.net forums, but he seems to be really weak.

i've just looked at a few guides here and they all say to use dream shield. why dream and not dragonscale?

anyway, i want holy fire, to be my main aura, so i plan on maxing all of its synergies

holy fire - 20
resist fire - 20
salvation - 20

i have a shockadin, built pretty much the same way, but with holy shock and he is one of my favorite characters, right now.

so what skills/gear should i plan on using?

If your not a rich player abandone this build right now. Torchadins are good chars dont get me wrong but they are VERY GEAR DEPENDENT. You need the Dragon Runeword at the very least to make this a good build. Look over the guide again and pay close attention to the gear suggested. Im not tryin to discourage you im just being honest.

yeah...well the thing is, i found a really good copy of dragonscale (the reason i made my first attempt at a torchadin), which was actually what made my make my first paladin, so i'd like to use it. the torchadin seems like it would be the only build to make any use of it.

is their any build that recommends dragonscale? :confused:

a fireball paladin. but they basicly suck in 1.11 :(.

a torchadin would need 2 dragons wich is really expensive on ladder and nonladder right now w8 some months and it will be cheaper on ladder (if u play ladder wich i dont think looking at your post)

I am thinking of making a Ranger with Kuko or Demon Machine + Holy Fire + Synergies to add about 1000 fire dmg to splash radius. Has anyone tried this? I was thinking of doing:

20 H Fire
20 Res Fire
20 Salvation
20 Fanat (wpn switch for immunes)
Rest into Blessed Aim for passive bonus

Yes it has been done before and i was going to make a similar ranger build but i make chars that can pvm/pvp and this pally really cant pvp. If your into pvm go for it.

I have a torchadin too, and it rocked. I used HoJ + Dragon armor + Dragon shield. Dragonscale is a nice idea, but you need really high Holy Fire lvls to kill effectively.

thanks. it sucks. dragonscale was the item that made me want to make a pally to begin with, but it turns out to suck, compared to rune words. maybe if dragonscale had holy fire when equipped, then it'd be worth using.

i guess i'll just stick to my shockadin, which is still far from complete...

You could make a PvM Fireball pally. It sounds like a cool build. Just need to get my hands on a Dragonscale.

Without the charges = synergy bug Fireball pallies are kaput. My Fireball was pretty ****ty in Hell on my Dark Templar in 1.10, and that's with uber gear lvl25 conviction etc. Without those meteor charges from moonfall working they don't do jack. I really wanna make a PvP version again but it just seems way to hard to get decent Fireball damage without Moonfall.
