I've been using Zealot to kill all mini-Ubers and Ubers. But I just realized I've never tried FoHdin b4, and wonder if FoHdin can kill all Ubers and those mobs spawn in maps of mini-Ubers. thx.

PS I can't afford nigma, so I gotta kill mobs in mini-Ubers maps.

You can use FoH to kill the mobs that spawn
I assume you have Holy Shield. Which would mean that you have 1 point smite. You get where this is going FoH the mobs, smite the Ubers

Sweet! Yup, my Zealot uses 1point Smite vs Ubers too.

So just max FoH and it's synergies, then use conv aura? And does Holy Shock aura apply to smite? Seems fun!

Your typical FoH build will do just fine, no need to change anything. Personally I never used conv on FoH because the -res only applies to that lightning damage from FoH, while the Holy Bolts are the damage dealers. Holy Shock does not apply to smite (and is really not worth maxing on a PvM FoH build anyway; your damage comes from the holy bolts not from the lightning). There is a lot of room to customize the FoH build; you could for example take 20 FoH 20 Holy Bolt 20 Holy Shield 20 Fanaticism rest into Smite, would make you a very good "smiter" as well as a FoH pally.

Your active aura should be
- Conviction if you have it > level 20 (this is because Mephisto has level 20 conviction, and if yours is higher your conviction will overwrite his)
or
- 1 point salvation if you do not have high level conviction AND need the resistances
or
- 1 point fanaticism otherwise

Thx! Salvation instead of Conv is good as it helps my merc too :-)
So there should be many points I can utilize other than FoH and Holy Bolts. Hammer maybe?

Yeah you can do FoH + hammer indeed, there's an example of that on Maxroll: https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/s10106pr#4

Ty! But I've just remembered Hammer needs Nigma and many FCR equipments that I can't afford...
Or just max smite? lol

IMO just go FoH/smite
FoH and hammer fulfill mostly the same function: fast killing of multiple weaker mobs, no real reason to have both
Smite is useful to kill strong single targets like bosses, FoH sucks at that so smite is a perfect complement

Ty! I think that makes sense.

FoH/Smite should have a hard time vs Uber Duriel, especially when it spawns at a far place from the portal. All mobs there are animals...

I think I can swap CTA with Hoto and Spirit = 75fcr in Uber Duriel's map. Hmmm...
