I just came back after years and i am working on fixing a bit my old build to make it more viable after last huge mechanic changes.

Older players should know Dual Wield Consecrated Strikes basics, so i don't want to waste space on details

This is what i did to a little fix it after few days
https://ascension.gg/v2/builder/area-52/overview/991a2ae0-1b13-4882-9c56-e278be1bc20e

Overall i noticed that:

• Paladin abilities were always AP+SP hybrids, so instead little coeff changes it looks the same
• they took away spell damage bonuses from amount of attack power, what is a huge dps lost with STR gear
• they nerfed Mental Quickness
• dual wield weapon bonus from Strength stat priority is useless.

I dont wat to change my playstyle, but rather adapt it by mystic enchants, talents and gear changes to new reality. i tough and analyzed a bit some stuff until i noticed, that Agility stuff may be a way to improve it today. Agility has both AP and crit, that are important in that build. Raid sets can improve magic damage done. Can works with new mental quickness with some shammy stuff. Weapon bonus from agility for dual wield isn't great but at least useful.

Problem is that there are plenty of agi sets and stuff to choose and i have no experience with it, so maybe there is more experienced person here, that can share some knowledge about it?

Since Dual Wield Consecrated Strikes was nerfed during S8 to the point, that in my opinion it isnt playable atm with STR + AP gear i'm thinking to turn sides and use Physical damage bonuses of that legendary.

I'm thinking to combine Divine Storm, Crusader Strike, Mortal Strike, Slam and Overpower to trigger as many Seal of Commands as possible with Consecrated Weapon, when use Rend and Judgement as dps boosters with proper enchants.

Anyone else before me tested that idea? Any tips and advices will be helpful.

Since weeks i'm preparing to change my build from Consecrated Strikes into One with the Light, since my Hero Fantasy is closer to it. Problem is that i do not understand new gearing policy after changes with AP and SP and i dont know what should be better.

Many people tried to help me during last weeks, but each of them have diffrent view about gearing policy. Their suggestions:

• STR primary stat with STR + AP gear
• STR primary stat with STR + INT + SP gear
• STR primary stat with INT + SP gear
• INT primary stat with INT + SP gear

Why such diffrence about gear?

They discuss between profits from Retribution 5-tier 4-set bonus with Mental Quickness compared to raw SP pumpers, since AP doesn't really improve weapon damage done on that spec by physical damage reduction, so only SP can really improve weapon damage done. Weapon damage is important to improve Crusader Strike, Divine Storm and SoR + JoR damage done.

Can you help me understand which choice should be the best and explain why?
