Judicator’s Mask dominates Last Epoch Season 3 as a Paladin staple, fueling Judgment spam for layered consecrated ground DoT that scales into high-corruption endgame, with these top variants blending clear speed, boss melt, and tankiness.

1. Pure Judgment Spam Paladin

This core build spams Judgment via 100%+ cooldown recovery, overlapping grounds for multiplicative fire DoT and 50 health-per-second self-healing per layer. Vengeance loops mana, Javelin bursts for 60% more damage, and Healing Hands generates ward for mobility. Gear like Chancegrabber's Graver and T7 +4 Judgment relics push 500+ corruption in Tomb of the Vessels, excelling in HC ladders for sustained clears.

2. Javelin Holy Trail Judicator

Mobility-focused hybrid lunges with Javelin into Holy Trail nodes, triggering 280% enemy damage taken from Harbinger of Dust before Judgment layers ignite. Mask's CDR enables seamless ground coverage during movement, paired with Flames of Midnight spirits for evasion. Sunre ring and Null Portant chest sustain mana; ideal for speed-mapping Spirits of Fire timeline while maintaining boss viability.

3. Fire Purifying Flame Paladin

Emphasizes Flaming Soul and Purifying Flame nodes for 100% more output on ignited grounds, turning mask spam into Righteous Fire-style persistence. Void Knight passives amplify DoT, with Majasa shield for 2LP scaling. Overcap fire pen via idols and tempering; crushes Ubers through ramping DPS in prolonged fights, though mana regen demands priority.

4. Crit Hammer Throw Paladin Hybrid

Throws hammers into Judgment grounds for crit explosions, leveraging mask's sustain to tank reflects while stacking crit damage reduction implicits. Bleed Javelin Forge Guard elements add ailments, with Serpent’s Fractal Tree for projectiles. A-tier tier list placer for steady farming, blending single-target melt with pack clear in mid-corruption echoes.

5. Smite Fissure Tankadin

Auto-targeting Smite Fissures overlap mask grounds for holy flame bursts, using Shield Rush explosions from Holy Aura. Primordial uniques like Titan Heart boost tankiness; beginner-friendly leveling scales to late-game with minimal gear. Excels in boss slaying and high-corruption where safety trumps speed, per Season 3 meta analyses.
