There are many different | There are many different Paladin builds, such as: Hammerdin, Auradin, Vengadin/Avenger, Zealot (or Zealadin), Zealot Vengadin, Smiter, Dragon Paladin (or Dragadin). | ||

Auradin: | '''Auradin''' | ||
:Combines different types of runewords: normally, a Dream helmet, Dream shield, Dragon armor, Hand of Justice or Grief sword, and other things. It uses mostly runewords that add extra auras. | |||
'''Dragon Paladin''' | |||
:Uses [[Holy Fire]]. Most of their damage comes from their equipment. They normally use a Hand of Justice weapon, Dragon armor, and Dragon shield—all which give a high level [[Holy Fire]]. | |||
'''Hammerdin''' | |||
:Combines [[Blessed Hammer]] and other synergies to increase the damage and often reach over 13 000 damage. | |||
'''Vengadin''' | |||
:Uses [[Vengeance]] combined with its other synergies. They also use [[Conviction]] to easily beat monsters with immunities. | |||
'''Smiter''' | |||
:Uses [[Smite]] along with its synergies. Good Smiters often use expensive gear such as an exile shield. | |||
'''Zealot''' | |||
:Uses [[Zeal]] to do many hits before the monster can even think about it. The Paladin also complements the Zeal ability with [[Fanaticism]] for very quick and effective blows. Zeal can also be combined with elemental auras for fire, frost or lighting damage. | |||
'''Zealot Vengadin''' | |||
:Uses both [[Zeal]] and [[Vengeance]] quick blows and elemental damage including the skills that stack on them. | |||
