With solid buffs to both Holy Fire and FOH in 2.4, I dont know why this hybrid build hasnt been discussed in more detail after the patch.
I started ladder with the standard HF Auradin/Zeal build dual Dragons and HOJ.. Its a powerful build except when you run into fire immunes., Then the build slows down big time. I only run PVM atm.
Now Im running the build you mentioned with dual Dragons and HOJ in a +3 FOH/+3 Conviction War Scepter. Now there is enough points to max out the Resist Fire/Salvation/FOH/Conviction/Holy Bolt without having to sacrifice too much except for the FOH lightning damage.
Ive also ran a pure FOH build ( and hammerdin ) with solid gear and find them both slow/limiting compared to FOH/HF Auradin.
I also found that the FOH is good in their own niche areas, but Act 2, 3 and cows are prime examples of it being unplayable. Problem is that my FOHdin is on Ladder and I have HOJ, Dragon, and dual dreams waiting for me on NL to test the build. There should be enough points to max Resist Fire/ Resist Lightning/ Conviction (save points where I can) / Holy Bolt / FOH. Anything left over can go into holy shock for more light dmg.
I do notice that I lost tons of skills points (2 helm, 4 shield, and 2 from Body). Not sure if this build could make up for that kind of lose. Also debating if just running HOJ with dual dreams + nigma will work.
