[Edit]
I accidentally overwrote the build when playing around with Fist of the Heavens so the discussion below does not apply to the current build.
[/Edit]
TL;DR: I know it isn't strictly optimal for anything, but I'd like any thoughts on this build: https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/ev0106nb
I currently play my Paladin as aura focused. I do not enjoy playing it at all. I'd like something a little more involved so I'm thinking of making a Blessed Hammer focused build with just enough Smite influence to kill the Ubers without too much trouble. I don't care about having the ultimate Uber slayer. I don't care if it takes an entire minute instead of just five seconds to kill Uber Diablo. I just want something relatively effective on the Uber front without having to bounce gear around beyond switch. I know from the recent thread you don't need much to kill Uber Diablo with a Smite focused build, and I know the other Uber bosses are more trouble, but I think I'll have more fun with Blessed Hammer than I would with a pure Smite build.
I don't have a ton of liquid Wealth because I either spend it or give it away pretty quickly, but I do have quite a few nice things. I actually already have most of the gear on the build page somewhere, but I'm obviously open to suggestions; I only ask that you please explain any recommendations. I'd specifically like recommendations with respect to rings and maybe throwing a Charm in Guillaume's Face to free up a ring slot for something a bit different, and I've done similar things in the way back, but I had way more Wealth back then so I don't know. I realize also that the amulet is not great, but I have it, and I don't have another Mara's Kaleidoscope around.
I tend to plan for level 79 and play around with the final twenty, but I think probably maxing Vigor for Blessed Hammer synergy is the way to go which still gives me a couple of spare points if I ever get to that level. I was thinking of putting one point into Salvation and Redemption just for those occasions when I'm playing with another Paladin who has Concentration and Fanaticism covered. I've also thought about backing off Vigor a little and going Conviction for those same occasions, but that's kind of a weird investment to make when Infinity exists.
