Foh din. No not fist of heavens. FUCK OUTTA HERE. Am I gonna play FoH Din? Yes but only when I reach Hell Chaos lmfao with decent dmg/good budget gear. Shits useless dmg wise with just dual spirits.. it barely ran A1 PITS which was all undead/demon on Players 1. I just respecced my hammerdin to a FoH paladin and man I’m impressed! Chaos sanctuary is a breeze! Only con I can say is cows and any non undead/demon enemies take a long time and is not worth it unless you are some type of hybrid. Currently trying to figure out how to get the most damage for FoH and I’m thinking of switching my 2x Ber CoA (I play hardcore) for a griffons socketed with a 5/5 facet. Currently dealing 5k with FoH, saw a video and a guy had his at 6k. Also FoH isn’t reliant upon FCR so I’m thinking of going from 125 FCR to 75 and maybe respeccing some of the gear. It’d be nice to get a discussion started to figure out the absolute best route to go for this build. How are you all liking it so far? I'm about to test FoH for Chaos tonight with a dual spirit, early game setup. From what I understand the build is better than Hammerdin early until you get farmed up. Afterwards Hammer will outpace it farm wise. I did chaos run today whit whit a friend who was dual spirit foh pala(I was whit hammer ,he whit foh). Basic build shako,dual spirit ,combat skiller amulet,raven.4 guys in game easy carry for foh. Early ladder foh pala dual spirit will be much better and safer then hammer. So I tested a few variations of FOHDin. What I found is early game it can operate as a smiting, caster. (Smite for short range, single target and FOH for long range and packs) I tested with basic, budget gear. It did decent even with level 20 FOH. I feel like if you go for damage/clearing FOH is probably comparable to Hammerdin. The issue is you can have a ton more MF with hammerdin without paying for 5/5 light facets. If you're just playing to test/fun setups it's probably a ton of fun though. This is just my play through and thoughts of a FRESH FoH Din. All items were self found in Players 8 HC Offline. If you're wanting to play that FoHdin in a group of 6-8 players, just know that with your non-endgame gear Damage. You'll just be a conviction/holybolt heal support din all the way to hell. When you leave the group make sure you at least reached A4 Hell. If not say hello to nightmare chaos for a long time lol. What about NM baal mf? Last wave will say fuck you. But if you're lvl 75-80+ and still having to mf nightmare you might do enuff dmg to kill last wave hopefully. Running chaos with mine has lvl 47 foh and approx 300mf. Clears everything with ease, also great for arcane sanctuary too! Probably doing runs in around 2mins for cs but im playing solo, is good up until about 5 players then it starts to slow down would say its faster than hammerdin in lower populated games and if your doing certain runs like trav/cs/arcane then it is the build to go for. The consensus is that holy shock synergy is not worth it, especially when running conviction, at the expense of the hybrid smiter as well.
