We’ve broken down what the best weapon for Paladins is in Diablo II: Resurrected (D2R).
Paladins are holy magic warriors—often known as Knights of the Faith. These individuals live lives of intense structure and resilience against darkness, demons, and false prophets. Traditionally, they serve as protectors of their party, casting holy signs for the benefit of their allies and smiting their enemies.

The best weapon for a Diablo II Paladin is a one-handed melee weapon. This is commonly paired with a shield for good old reliable sword-and-board combat.
One-handed weapons tend to do less damage than other available types, but then benefit from increased speed. Some classes can dual-weild these weapons—but paladins are not among them. Typically, players maybe find it easier to wield a one-handed weapon with an off-hand trinket or held item for additional buffs. It is among the most flexible build components in-game.
Some abilities require the use of a one-handed weapon—though the choice of weapon doesn’t truly matter. Examples of one-handed weapons include: daggers, throwing knives, swords, axes, maces, ceremonial knives, javelins, hand crossbows, and wands.
The shield can be a paladin’s best friend—not only for its increased defense rating, but also due to its impact on the class’ abilities. There are certain “Paladin Shields” that only characters of this class can use. Paladins also rely on their shield for Smite and their Holy Shield skill.
Shields give a Chance to Block, as well, at 75% while immobile or 25% while moving.
