Paladin - leveling up with Holy Fire: Zeal or Explosive bolt Bow/Crossbow?

Description

Hi

I will start a fresh new Paladin, and pretend to use as my end build dual Dragon + Hand of Justice

At first I want to level up as a

Holy Fire Paladin, to test and "get used" to the playstyle

I know that I would level faster with other builds (like

Blessed Hammer) and I will need to respec anyway latter (as my end build will have just 1 hard point on

Holy Fire as a pre-requisite for

Conviction....)

But, deciding to do that, what would be the best approach:

To use

Zeal with a melee weapon
(playstyle closer to the end build)
or
To use a Bow/

Crossbow with Explosive bolt
(can deal better/faster with groups)
or
both

(put one on swap, but will not be able to use

Teleport Staff

)

Realistically, you don't need either.

Just gt HF + synergies and you can self-lvl until you start hitting immunities without ever touching a single mob as the ticks are more than enough dmg for that.

Once you do hit immunities though...bad juju and time for a lvling respec imo. Unnecessarily painful to stay HF through late nm/hell.

Then i recommend HF build going Full Sigons with

Hellforge Hammer into

Raven Claw with full Irathas and Angelic Rings + Armor into

Kuko Shakaku. At A4NM/A1 Hell respecc Full

Blessed Hammer build. Level up as you desire and then respecc final HF build

Imo smoothest way to level up pala
