Hi everyone, I made a paladin for Uber tristram.

I lvled it all three difficulties as zealot. I don't like like hammerdin.
I really love the gameplay, switching auras all the time depending on situation and who i play with.
And then on the HC Europe trading someone traded me a botd Eth ba for 40 which gave insane results ( I know grief is better I understood that 😁) .
I destroy everything but.... Physical immunes of course.
My Merc has reaper's toll which helps a lot, but :

I would like something less depending on my Merc which is often taking tea somewhere while I am making my way cuting monsters like butter.

Is it Worthing put one point in vengeance or it is better to take another weapon on switch, a low cost one as I'm poor, like let's say lawbringer, or even azurwrath ? What do you think ?
As always keep in mind that I play HC, I like to be secured, that's why I love botd, the mass stats saved me hundreds of hp, and the leech is insane.

if you use eni you can prevent your merc from drinking tea
if the immunes are undeads, which is often the case, you can use sanctuary to ignore their physical res

Even the almighty hammerdin cannot easily fell the magic immune enemies on his own

(I know, holy bolt for the undead ones but still)

I really like my zealot, but the physical immunes slows me down, it breaks the flow of the cutting 😊
Decrepify works, but not that much, even if Merc does his job it's like the immunity is not really removed, only half I would say.
Of course everything can't be perfect, but I was wondering if few points in vengeance could make this faster.

As you are using Botd it makes me afraid your merc doesnt have proper build. Because if it had he would do some real dps proccing decrepify all the time

Grief is better for ll btw

Well I don't know, botd is on my Pala, and the reaper's toll on the Merc.
Once decrepify is casted in can kill things but it's not as fast as the usual one shot of non immunes. Ah well I'll try a point in vengeance.
I will have to respec into smiter later so I can make some tests

enigma would fix your problem. plus grief phase blade would fix it even more.

then you telestomp everything and it makes a decrepify merc and a zealer both more effective, especially together.

Treachery and ed/ias on helmet and reapers

Vengeance is bad even at max. Mobs have too much res
