Twisting Paladin Talents and Runes
This build can be rather tricky as it requires you to Seal Twist which offers a higher damage ceiling. To properly make use of Seal Twisting, you need to auto-attack while Seal of Command and Seal of Martyrdom are active at the same time. It is crucial to time the second seal right before your auto-attack lands.
Talents
For the talents, you will need to spend 11 points into Holy, 8 into Protection and 32 in Retribution to maximize your damage.
