This buff makes the build jump straight into S tier for players 1-4 and solo hell gameplays. It now also does massive damage on demons as well. Fist of the Heavens used to damage undead only.

The most noteworthy buff is undoubtedly making the spell now also damage demons in addition to undead. The first buff is the reduction of Casting Delay from 1 second to 0.4 seconds while also making Fist of the Heavens not share cooldown with other Casting Delay abilities. Note: The Vindicator Templar Paladin will be an exceptional build in Patch 2.4 due to the Fist of the Heavens buffs. What's even more exciting is that the build does exceptionally well even in budget gear. The build effectively combines the strength of a Hammerdin and a Smiter. The primary strength of this build is its versatility which allows the build to do exceptionally well in mass area farms while also efficiently clearing Ubers. With the release of Patch 2.4 the Vindicator Templar Paladin build will emerge as a meta build because it brings together the best of both worlds. As the veteran D2R players would know, the Hammerdin Paladin was the preferred spec for mass area farms whereas the Smiter Paladin was the top pick for killing bosses and clearing Ubers.
