Paladin Best Weapons & Armor

While skills make up the core of a character’s build in Diablo 2, it is gear that really makes a character special. With thousands of pieces of weapons and armor, though, it can be difficult to parse what is worth farming or using, and what is better left on dungeon floors and shopkeepers’ inventories.

Below, we’ve compiled a list of just what items you should be most interested in as a Paladin. Of course, whether any given piece of gear will work for you depends on your build, level, preferences, and desire to farm, but this is a general guide on what to look out for.

Gear Tips

  • The most important stats for a Paladin are +Skill and Cast Rate.
  • Especially early on, you might struggle to find +Skill amulets and rings. The best accessories you can find early on Rings and Amulets of the Apprentice, which will boost your Cast Rate.
  • Boots with +Walk/Run Speed are incredibly useful, and so finding Boots of Haste (especially if they also have elemental resistances) is useful.
