Technically it seems viable

Vengeance being a great single target damage and the 44lvl

Holy Fire burning the packs around with the sundered fire immunity and the reduced fire resist from Flickering Flame

Still any ideas/opinions/advices on the viability of this build and possible improvements?

A friend of mine plays Avenger +

Conviction, but not the Auradin part.

The only things he struggles with is big crowds like cows, while Ubers just go easy.

He solved this by using

Zeal with more points but I guess Aura Fire could work as well.

Also 1 point in

Holy Shield makes the max block hard to reach without investing a lot in dex - issue or not, your call.

Anyway just to say that you may not need to reach 20/20/20 in resist def auras if you need to pump up a bit

Holy Shield. Keep them at even numbers though (like 12/12/8) for the max res passive bonus.

Salvation one point should be enough.

you won't get level 44

Holy Fire, because you're using Phoenix. Phoenix will be better for physical damage while

Dragon Shield to aoe I believe (raising your auras from 30 to 44, and giving you another aura- they stack so you'll actually get three 44 auras this way).
any 3os

Helm with 3 perf fire facets beats flickering damagewise, but flickering does offset the sunder nicely. or just use LoH and/or aldur's if you want to use the 3os faceted.
I'm going to make an auradin and/or dragonadin soon, curios to hear about your experiene when you make this avenger Dragon.

I just started the leveling, but i will let you know

I would nontheless max out

Holy Fire. And do equip a HoJ for

Zeal.
Also give yourself a Buff from

Demon Limb.
Is funny to use Trag-Oul Gloves and

Belt and

Hydra Paladin Shield.

Using Phoenix shield instead of Dragon you deal 25% less damage vs sundered monster and 50% less damage vs non-immu monster (assuming you run with -150%

Conviction & -15%

Helm).

Finally reached level 80. The concept is fun it melts pretty much everything in p1. Able to do dclone relatively easily at level 67+.

Next i will try is tesladin avenger with a barb merc with dual Hand of Justice, Dragon armor and Flickering Flame

Helm. Looks fun too.
