Both are tools he uses to mete out justice. Just as righteousness can give his spirit the fortitude to overcome the attacks of the unjust, so too can faith be a weapon to strike back at those who work to defeat him. To this end, the Paladin has developed several combat techniques that use the shield not only for defense, but also as an offensive weapon. Details Level 1-60 stats Stat Value +% Damage 15*slvl Stun length (Seconds) min(0.4+(0.2*slvl),10) Always hits and cannot be blocked when used by a Paladin: will always knock back an eligible target. Holy Shield increases base shield damage, as do weapons with Damage +. Character screen only displays off-weapon +% Damage from items being applied to 1 damage, when it is added to all other sources of +% Damage. Damage + is added to shield damage (before +% Damage is applied), although this isn't displayed by the character screen. Every Strength point applies +1% Damage regardless of the weapon equipped. Even though shield damage is used, range adder, attack rate and durability of weapon equipped are used. If weapon reaches 0 durability while using Smite, it won't actually break and become unusable until another weapon attack is used. Weapon can be switched or removed and replaced without breaking it, and it will remain unbroken upon entering a new game.
