The true purpose of conversion is to kill monsters, and I have taken a conversion paladin throughj the three difficulties to Guardian in Hardcore. So what is the point of this skill, and is it any wonder players ignore it? The answer to the latter question is probably not, easier just to make a hammerdin. This duration is far too short to use the skill in the same manner as the Necromancer Revive skill, and converted monsters don’t follow you anyway, they just stand there. Converted monsters also are attacked by the computer AI, eg curses, catapults. Converted monsters get your auras which expire instantly the time runs out.

Available at level 24, a successful conversion (no hit required so attack rating is irrelevant) makes the converted monster an ally for al of 16 seconds. Maybe it will be fixed soon, they appear to be looking at helping unused skills. This was a bad mistake by the Great Nerd Gods of D2, as it made a whold raft of skills unviable in one stroke. This build died at least a dozen years ago, when Blizzard in its wisdom decided Thorns and other skills like it would no longer reflect ranged attacks, even from the adjacent square. A couple of the fan sites mentkion the skill, mostly its use in the company of Thorns, information that is years out of date although appearing under a D2 Resurrected banner.

Having searrched all the forums, as well as YouTube and goodness knows where else, I cannot find any reference to a Conversion Paladin build.
