Holy Bolt

From Diablo Wiki

For the Diablo I spell of the same name, see Holy Bolt (Diablo I).

Holy Bolt

Class: Paladin

Skill Tree: Combat Skills

Required Level: 6

Prerequisites: None

Effect: Creates bolt of energy that damages undead, or heals friendly units.

Holy Bolt is the only Skill of its kind, being both a healing tool, and a weapon simultaneously. Unfortunately, its power is effective only against enemies of the 'Undead' subtype. Thankfully, in Diablo II, there is no shoartage of undead enemies on which this holy lance can be unleashed. While it may not possess the raw damage potential of other skills, its use as a healing power still renders it worthy of investing at least one or two skill points.

NOTE: In the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction expansion, the power of Holy Bolt was increased, making it more effective and desirable to use.
