D2R Holy Freeze Paladin Build - New Best Paladin Build in Diablo 2 Resurrected

Stats

This is a level 87 D2R Paladin build, the base strength is 104, we don’t need it too high, and also no need to put too much into dexterity, but still the most into vitality. 

- Strength 137

- Dexterity 95

- Vitality 406

- Energy: 43

Skill Tree

Firstly, put one into Smite and Charge, and max out Sacrifice, but we don't have Zeal maxed out. We can't max out all of our main damage skills. In the Offensive Auras category, max out Holy Freeze, along with Holy Freeze, we're getting the synergies of both Resist Cold and Salvation makes sense.

- Combat Skills: Charge 1, Smite 1, Sacrifice 20, Zeal 14

- Offensive Auras: Holy Freeze 20, Might 1, 

- Defensive Auras: Resist Cold 20, Salvation 20

Gear

When it comes to the gear, we have the Doom on the main hand and Demon Limb on the offhand. It offers -54% to enemy cold resistance and +377% enhanced damage. Thresher has significantly more durability than a berserker axe, if you're making a doom in it, even if it's not a superior base, it's still going to cost a fair whack to repair, so make sure you keep that in mind when you're using something like this, it is a superior base. On your shield, you can use a Head Hunter’s Glory. The Highlord's Wrath is used for attack speed and deadly strike, all the good for melee. Jeweler’s Full Plate Mail of Nova Shield is the body armor, it matches Nightwing’s. The 8% life leech of String of Ears is very important. Raven Frost has Cannot Be Frozen, we got the dual ring with resistance. The Laying of Hands is a pair of popular gloves and kind of unbeatable if you have enough leech. The last part is going to be the charms, the combination here is for getting enough resistance.
