Hey all,

I'm just starting hell with my zealer paladin, and have been struggling mightily against physical immunes. I tried to make a lawbringer last night, and found out that it's a ladder-only runeword. Can anyone give me some ideas of how to break these phys immunes?

Ohhhhh, forgot about Spellsteel. I've dropped 2 of them in the last few days, hopefully I snag another one. Thanks! I was hoping not to enable ladder rws, if possible.

all sources of decrep and amp are there



E: against PI undeads you can simply use sanctuary aura

The funny thing is, isn't reapers toll a ladder only drop?

And maybe another option, passion runeword has berserk skill on it. Probably a lot less damage but could do the job

If you dont have access to items with amplify damage or decrepify, 1 point in Sanctuary will let you damage UNDEAD physical immune monsters since the aura sets their physical resistance to 0%. Its is bugged, since it won't add magical damage or extra damage so its not worth more than one point but it gets the job done.

The knockback effect is also very useful against wraiths and ghosts. Sadly it only works against undead monsters.

Since like 90% of p.i. monsters are undead, just put one point in sanctuary and skip not undead ones
