I really like the mechanics and all these things to consider on this build haha. The effectiveness depends quite a bit on the enemy types for an area, like ranged attacks or mages are obviously no bueno and others with high physical resistance like ghosts or death lords can be annoying.Īt the same time though I really like the sort of strategy to this character, like the ideal monster type to convert (thinking about how much life a monster has, how much physical resist they have, their block chance, etc.), the ideal mercenary (melee mercs have a good chance to kill themselves if a monster unconverts since the Thorns aura sticks for a few seconds), etc.Īlso stuff like Cursed affix monsters which curses your converts making them reflect more damage (if you have a source of Amp like Lacerator or Brand you can even double dip because both the convert and the attacker will be amped) and trying to minimize slowing effects like cold or Decrepify because you don't want to slow down attackers.

I've been playing a Thorns/Conversion/Vengeance paladin through /players8 Nightmare, it's been working pretty good but I'm also twinked with fairly powerful gear (Atlantean, Vmagi, Herald of Zakarum, etc).
