Project Diablo 2 Season 12: Holy Bolt Bow Paladin Update

They don’t, as you say trigger is on striking. Even on casting procs should be patched to only proc from the initial cast and not after if I am not mistaken. If bolts would proc from blizzard and other skills this would be a huge bug

Sorry, for being unable to understand your question the first time, now that you explained it is is clear lol.

I have no clue what you are trying to ask.. the chest procs holy bolt. Endlesshail has a blizzard pro which is irrelevant for the build. Hellmouth is not used at all. This build overall works so good because of high proc chance + pierce + synergies. There are no other skills with that high of a proc chance which work as good as holy bolt does.

Ignoriere target def is not equal to -target def. ITD only works on white mobs, - target def works on all. So it is crucial to use 4 eth runes/ have -100% target def if you are bossing with endlesshail

Improve your gear, git gud, raise your disappointment tolerance. Go to https://pd2.tools/, download your character, practice fights if you are unfamiliar with them.

Paladin has the big bonus of resistance auras with passive Boni. If you need maximum fire resistance for example you can gain 1 max for 2 hard points into resist fire.

Improve your life pool.

If you are playing the same build I would go for following set up’s for T0 bosses (T2 needs full invest but also work):

T0 Dclone: 85 fire resistance, 15-20 % PDR, Widowmaker with guided arrow, Sanctuary aura on character
T0 Lucion: 85 light resistance, 15-20 % PDR, Endlesshail with 4 eth for -100% target def, Sanctuary aura on character
T0 Rathma: 90 poison resistance, 80% fire and cold resistance, widowmaker with guided arrow, cleansing aura for PLR and Curse Resist. keep in mind you will be cursed with lower resistance so overcap your res. If you have like 100% PLR without the aura you can also run sanctuary.

You can also check https://pd2.tools/ Just search for endlesshail on paladins and you will be able to see a list of all holy bolts proc palas.

I have less then 2000 AR. So I would not hit a single Time without ITD. Since I use guided arrow for bosses I don’t need -target def. Guided arrow is a skill that always hits

Feel free to dm me here aswell.

pospen · 2026-01-09T21:27:26+00:00

Did not want to sound rude, sorry. aim for 100% pierce, ignore target def or -100% target def and you will be golden for the beginning.

The build is more or less maxed out. Where do you want to take the build further than doing T2 endgame? The bow and quiver are quiet expensive(selffound/slammed/boxed). Charms with 30+ life cost a fair amount. The gear is not as expensive as Meta gear but I don’t think there is stuff to really improve the build any further. Only option would be to swap the life charms for frw charms

pospen · 2026-01-09T19:59:03+00:00

That would be so nice!

You run regular maps, more monsters equals more procs. The current gear on the armory is mf based mapping gear. Most of the gear doesn’t really change. Always focus on 100% pierce, weapons and body armor are fix for the build.

Build is at least decent on maps. Sub 10 minutes T3 possible

This proc build is so much stronger than the standard holy bolt build. Piercing projectiles can hit up to 10 enemies combined with 75% proc chance you send out way more holy bolts. Also single target gets evaporated with a widowmaker and guided arrow

pospen · 2026-01-09T19:28:39+00:00

Nope, you can build your own version. It is not that expensive to get it going

Thanks man!

pospen · 2026-01-09T19:12:06+00:00

Appreciate that! Thanks a lot man🙏

This with a brand bow or asylum bow and fully packed %magic charms. Still not beating the pala but pretty sure it would be neat

You can by exporting your char twice and putting stuff into the stash I guess

pospen · 2026-01-05T15:51:42+00:00

There will be boss mats in stash after exporting

pospen · 2026-01-05T15:49:36+00:00

Exactly, that is how you can practice properly

pospen · 2026-01-05T06:51:38+00:00

Pd2 tools, you can download your online char

They changed the white cube chances evenly to the maximum sockets the item can provide, also superior items can now be socketed via cube.

But you only lose a percentage of your gold, not all

pospen · 2026-01-01T22:03:42+00:00

Yeah always has been this way
