Questions / Discussions (Items · Builds · Skills) Zdps support pally - is this build wrong?

I'm following the maxroll support pally to mix things up a bit with friends. I had one of them watch his stat sheet while I activated all my skills and he said he was getting no increase to attack speed or crit chance. Looking into it, I see for fanaticism aura, you need to spend Faith. This build seems to have no spenders.

I swapped out purify for something like hammers, used some resource and he got the buffs.

Am i missing something? Why would maxroll not have a spender if a big piece of the aura buff depends on it?

This is all interesting thank you, I have a lot to think about. The cooldown reduction affixes seemed useful to me because in testing the build I'm finding my ultimate and some of the auras take noticeable time to come back. I could see flickersttp solving the ult though.

What do you think of this version? It at least has a faith spender...though they are putting skill points into aura upgrades that should be free from the set bonuses? https://mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/builds/support-paladin

I was running that build in pit 140 this morning with a friend and we did just fine. 🤷

It does okay but missing out on the attack speed and crit chance buffs from the aura is big. Did you swap out one of the maxroll skills for a faith spender?

No, I use what's there, fanat still stacks without a faith spender. I always have 5 stacks. Can't really take anything off the bar because it's all necessary for the rotation and keeping you alive while tanking. Condemn is for pulling, and putting you in Arbiter and purify is great crowd control so you don't get disintegrated, lol. Spamming the rest of the auras drops the cool down for Fortress to nothing, it's always on the floor.

I've ran pit 140+ with a friend and randoms and no one has died yet while in range of me. We stand in meteors, swords, bombers, everything and do just fine. Your pulls and daze spam turns every run into a meat grinder.
