Have you ever wondered the way it feels to juggle burning swords? Then the Holy Fire Paladin enables you to fulfill the ideal as the Holy Fire Aura imbues your attacks with massive Fire Damage. You also deal decent Physical Damage to keep the Life topped off in almost most situations.

But it does not end here! The Aura also deals damage inside a massive area surrounding your Paladin.

For this informative guide, we'll target the variant that actively uses Holy Fire in conjunction with Zeal. This version is effective on a reasonable investment, but when you want to throw lots of currency only at that build, browse the double Dragon + Hand of Justice variant below! This build just Charges around and Holy Fire just melts monsters on screen!

The Holy Fire Paladin depends on some specific Affixes to correctly work. This setup enables you to deal with any Immune to Fire monster you encounter in low player counts.

Cover the "Cannot Be Frozen"-Affix with Raven Frost and employ Bulwark Diadem because of its Physical Damage Reduction. Angelic Halo + Angelic Wings cover your Attack Rating needs. Gore Rider brings Crushing Blow into the mix, which accelerates boss fights significantly. And upgraded Hexfire socketed having a Shael Rune and Laying of Hands gets you to a great Attack Speed Breakpoint. With Treachery's Fade, Spirit, and Charms you can ensure capped Resistances.
