Should I increase Blessed Aim for the passive +% AR?

Hey!

I'm leveling my paladin dragondin + hoj as a zealot. I'm using

Zeal 20,

Conviction 20 and

Holy Fire synergies (

Resist Fire +

Salvation). I'm left with 8 skill points at the moment (i'm level 88). I dont know if i should increase

Sacrifice so i can buff my physical damage or if i should increase

Blessed Aim for the passive +% AR.

Looking forward to hear your toughts!

Your physical damage = ~400-500 per attack
Your fire damage = 14-16k after

Conviction
Conclusion - > Upping

Sacrifice as a dragondin is wasteful (Unless you really want to deal those extra 15 damage per level, I guess.)

Do you have

Holy Shield maxed already? That should be prefered over maxing both

Zeal or

Blessed Aim.

Zeal AR bonus >

Blessed Aim AR bonus.

I have only one point in

Holy Shield. But i already put 20 points in

Zeal.

I'm going for

Holy Shield then. I think you are right. That defense will be better actually because my def isn't that great after all because of Dragon.

I didn't maxed

Holy Shield yet (level 90, missing a few levels), but i'm at skill level 11 and feeling like a tank now. Charging and Zealing everything on the way.

I was using a hibrid dragondin + FoH but it was lacking something. I guess that this melee dragondin just hits the spot. Pun intended.

Thanks for the tips!

Physical damage is pretty pointless on a dragondin. It's massively eclipsed by your fire damage, so the most important things are -% res, +% fire dmg, chance to hit, and movement speed (and of course, survivability). Stacking

Sacrifice (or

Zeal for that matter) won't do a whole lot for you.

Regarding AR, you just need to remember that since you're running

Conviction, monsters are losing 92% of their defense. You don't need to stack AR at all. Non-TZ

Baal ends up with around 200 defense under the effects of level 25 Convic, so even with almost zero bonus AR or +% AR, you should have around 83% chance to hit him at level 92. So the defense half of the chance to hit formula is basically taken care of. Monster level is going to matter, too, and there's not much you can do about it other than level up some. With Convic, you only need to add like a couple hundred base AR (hello

Raven Frost) and maybe have +100% or more AR if you want to have like 90%+ hit chance on non-TZ

Baal. You could do that with a

Blessed Aim merc if you want or about two AR GCs.

Those skill points may be better spent on things like

Holy Shield,

Resist Lightning (for its passive, if you like that),

Redemption, etc...
