Almost all Diablo 4 players prefer area-of-effect (AoE) damage. Unfortunately, there are very few well-known AoE attack builds in the game, but the Paladin's Brandish build is an exception, especially when using the Supplication Unique Sword.
This build revolves around a specific skill combination, allowing you to rampage through the battlefield with efficient melee attacks and powerful defensive capabilities, demonstrating formidable combat power against both groups of mobs and powerful elite monsters and bosses.
Core Skill Combination:
- Brandish - Returning Light
- Consecration - Hallowed Ground
- Fanaticism Aura - Rite of Vengeance
- Defiance Aura - Rite of Prayer
- Aegis - Faith is My Shield
- Arbiter of Justice - Seraph's Wings
Players can easily try this build, and its power is greatly increased when combined with the Supplication sword, which allows Brandish's energy waves to radiate outwards, significantly increasing damage.
This build primarily relies on Brandish as the main damage skill. Other skills simply enhance damage output, survivability, and clearing speed. Players only need to hold down the Brandish skill for effortless gameplay.
The only thing players need to pay attention to is leveling the Brandish skill to max level. If there are any remaining skill points, they can also level up the Arbiter of Justice skill.
As many players may have already realized, the core of this build lies in the Supplication weapon. If players have good positioning awareness, they can not only attack a wide range of enemies but also hit targets multiple times with a single attack.
Whether other Diablo 4 items is needed to enhance damage depends entirely on the player; having a Herald of Zakarum for additional attributes is very beneficial. Players who want to further refine this build can include the following Legendary Aspects:
- Aspect of the Moonrise and Aspect of Adaptability
- Indomitable
- Celestial Strife
- Holy Punishment
The Paragon setup for this build is fairly straightforward. Most of the Paladin's Legendary Paragon Nodes offer damage bonuses that are easy to activate, so you don't need to be particularly picky with your choices.
In short, through a reasonable combination of skills, Diablo 4 gear selection, attribute allocation, and appropriate Paragon board choices, the Brandish Paladin will demonstrate formidable strength in the game, becoming a fearsome fighting force.
