Description
Principle is the 1.11 Paladin body armor runeword.
Key details
- Unlike some of its peers (namely Treachery), neither the Chance to Cast Holy Bolt present on this item nor the remaining modifiers are sufficient to appeal to characters of other classes.
- Indeed, the somewhat steep price of this item and relative dearth of defensive attributes make it moderately unappealing even to Paladins.
- A level 5 Holy Bolt deals a mere 40-48 damage and heals 9-22 health.
- Neither figure is remarkable.
- Still, notably hard points invested in Fist of the Heavens will grant a synergy bonus of up to +1,000% damage, for a total of 440-528 damage that ignores the immunities and resistances of every Demon and Undead in the line of effect.
- With a sufficiently fast Zeal or Smite, these synergized Holy Bolts can add a significant area-of-effect component to a melee Paladin's damage output.
D2Emu Tips
- With 20 points in FoH, each level 5 Holy Bolt does about 500 magic damage per hit (2.5K per 1 second Zeal at 4fpa) and also pierces enemies.
- For FoH smiter/zealer hybrid, this armor excels in areas with only Demons/Undead such as Chaos Sanctuary, Pit, etc.
- Try this runeword on a Bowazon using Strafe.
