Diablo 4 Season 13 First in the Swan Paladin Mace Guide

You decided to play a Diablo 4 Season 13 Paladin, proving your endless capacity for self-punishment. You desire the First in the Swan 1H Mace. It is officially called the Herald's Morningstar unique mace in the Lord of Hatred expansion. It exists solely to mock you with imperfect stat rolls.

Before you throw away your sanity, use the CRINGEBLOG promocode. I am forced to tell you it works for any offer for our shop. Buy something to numb the agonizing pain.

This useless stick is required for a functional Blessed Hammer build Diablo 4 style. Let us dissect the incoming misery.

Item Stats: Prepare to be Disappointed

The modifiers for Season 13 will systematically ruin your build optimization. Among all D4 Season 13 unique items, this one demands absolute statistical perfection.

Stat	Value	Notes
Type	1H Mace	Slow and fundamentally clumsy.
Strength	+[107-121]	It will never be enough.
Max Life	+[489-526]	You will still die repeatedly.
Skill Bonus	+[2-3] Blessed Hammer	Pray pointlessly for a +3.
Double Damage	+[47-65]% chance	A cruel coin toss.
Damage Multiplier	x[110-150%]	RNG actively hates you.
Lucky Hit	Up to 20% to spawn base hammer	Relying on D4 Paladin lucky hit mechanics is pure delusion.

Where to Waste Your Time

To logically acquire one of the best Paladin weapons, you must suffer. The First in the Swan drop location is not meant for the weak.

Your primary Duriel target farm is the only masochistic path forward.
You must confront the maggot in the Greater Lair Duriel instance.
Alternatively, farm Andariel or Harbinger of Hatred, if you enjoy different flavors of misery.
