Arbiter Blessed Hammer Build Skill Progression
In the early stages of the game, your main resource generator will be Holy Bolt. This is your bread and butter, as it is a ranged basic skill that lets you replenish Faith without needing to get close to enemies.
For your core skill, you will be picking up Blessed Hammer along with Disciple's Halo. This will serve as your main spammable skill and primary source of damage. It will be further enhanced by Arbiter Form and the bonus effects of the Disciple Oath. You will pair this with the Fanaticism Aura, which increases your critical strike chance and weakens all surrounding enemies.
The next set of skills you will be picking up are Falling Star, Condemn, and Arbiter of Justice. These skills can trigger Arbiter Form and can gain additional charges if you pick the correct enhancements in the skill tree. With this setup, you will never have any downtime on Arbiter Form and will consistently benefit from the bonus damage it provides.
As for the Key Passive, since the main focus of this build is to fully utilize the effects of Arbiter Form, you will be picking Exaltation, as it provides a massive damage increase and additional strikes for your Wing Strike.
Arbiter Blessed Hammer Oath
Disciple |
Casting a Disciple Skill with a Cooldown grants Arbiter for 4.5 seconds. Wing Strikes gain Disciple Skill benefits. While in Arbiter Form, your Disciple Skills deal X increased damage. |
|---|
This build revolves around leveraging the bonuses from Arbiter Form granted by the Disciple Oath. Since you will be consistently casting Disciple skills with cooldowns, these bonuses can be triggered 100% of the time.

During the early levels, you want to fight as many enemies as possible to gain more experience, making Essence of Pain the best option for your Corrupted slot early on. Pair this with Essence of Squalor in the Purified slot to automatically refill your health potions, allowing you to keep pushing through Helltide without worrying about healing.

For gems, you will want to slot a Ruby into your armor to gain more Strength, as it is the primary stat for increasing your skill damage. For your weapon, pick up a Topaz to boost your basic attack, since you will be consistently casting Holy Bolt to regain resources, it’s one of the best early game options. Finally, use a Diamond for the additional resistances it provides.

The Blessed Hammer playstyle revolves around activating your Arbiter Form and consistently maintaining the increased damage for all your Disciple skills. Although your only Disciple skill will be Blessed Hammer, this will be your main source of damage and enables extremely fast clearing, with Condemn grouping enemies and Falling Star helping you quickly reposition on top of them.
- Cast Falling Star to initiate the fight and position yourself between enemies. This will also activate the effects of your Arbiter Form.
- Spam Blessed Hammer until you run out of Faith.
- Cast Condemn. Most enemies around you will likely already be dead, but this helps group up the next batch of enemies.
- Cast Fanaticism Aura to weaken enemies if there are tougher elites in the group.
- Spam Holy Bolt to regain resources, then repeat the cycle.
