I.E A Paladin that uses an elemental aura and a bow that amplifies it? Holy Fire/Raven Claw, Holy Freeze/Wizendraw, etc?

I used to love playing these for Level 30 PvP, was wondering if it's still worth making one. What bow should one use for a Lightning variant?

Storm strike or anything with pierce, full videllas, or the unique repeating crossbow

Itd be tedious but you might get a few double hits in at least

/edit
Ichorstring has a damn good pierce rate,
Storm strike has cool style and extra light damage

That'd be my top 2 recommendations

They dont; they are bad.

Dont listen to SagittariusA - he writes useless comments in EVERY thread about characters he never tried.

Old ranger paladins used prelod Ravenclaw that had level 30 explosive arrow. I think there is only 1 such bow left on Europe, no idea about other realms. And even with this bow the build stops being effective after nightmare difficulty.

I tried it and it sucks, waste of time.

Ha ha I've tried most builds, I havent done holy shock with a bow, I just recommended what came to mind though. I can throw one together on single player no problem, I know itll be slow and really only effective through nightmare based on my other holy shock dins

And pp rclaw was good in it's time, modern patches though it doesnt make a difference like it used to, but I've seen a lot of holy fire paly with modern rclaw too but like you said it's only good in nm

I think it’s a fun char to level with.
