Introduction 🎮

In today’s video, we’ll be discussing the update to the Cyclone Starter video, focusing on the Electrify Smite Paladin build. There were some issues with the old version that needed to be addressed, so we’ve taken down the old video in order to provide a comprehensive update on this exciting build.

The Problem with Divine Catalyst ⚡

The problem with the previous version of the build was the interaction between Divine Catalyst, where it was necessary to be missing life to heal in order to proc all the Divine bolts. This made it difficult to effectively utilize the build for clearing purposes.

"Of course, it’s very hard to be missing life to be able to spam it right for Clear which ended up being very awkward." – Dread

Electrify Smite Healing Hands 🌩️

We’ve made significant improvements to the build, now focusing on Electrify Smite and Healing Hands. This unique combination allows us to rain down Smite on enemies, applying Electrify Stacks, and when the Healing Hands procs, it spreads those Electrify Stacks around, effectively dealing damage to packs and enhancing single target damage.

Self-cast Smite Build 🌟

Arriving at the bizarre too early left the character with limited options for purchasing, with only the stereotypical bleeding heart being acquired. However, the character has found a lot of fun in playing this build, pushing it into corruption upgrading, and making substantial progress.

Skill Analysis 💪

Time in-game revealed the prowess of the Healing Hands skill when combined with Smite, turning all ignite chance into Electrify chance, resulting in significant damage output and effective clearing abilities.
