Playing as a Paladin in Diablo 2 Classic (HC, SSF) is a challenging but rewarding experience. Holy Fire is a game-changer, dealing massive damage even on players eight difficulty. Luring enemies into a bottleneck and using hammers to smash them is a great strategy. Resistances are important, and gear in Classic is not great. The final bosses are easily taken down with hammers and blocking, but cursed and fanaticism can be terrifying. All in all, a hammer-wielding Paladin is one of the best chaos runners in the game.
This video showcases a Paladin's journey through Diablo 2 in a hardcore, single-player, self-found (SSF) mode. The player leverages the power of Holy Fire to overcome challenges and defeat various enemies throughout the game.
