Other options for Paladin builds include the Hammerdin, which uses Blessed Hammer to deal strong AOE damage and clear enemies quickly. Smite is one of the best skills in the game due to its stunning ability, and a properly built Smiter Paladin can single-handedly slay their way through even the toughest challenges in Diablo II: Resurrected.
