Hi
Dno if there is any Zeal guides but I know that my build works truly nice in tvtThis build is made for eu, but works nice on other realms too, but then u probarly dont have bb. Its a bit exspensive build, but if want cheaper one, just dont use perf items, use dungo instead of bb etc, crap stats on items and pick the items u feel are most neccesary.... And ofc, its extreamly fun too play! Aboutly as fun as hammer, nec, blizz
Think I should start with the items:
Shields: 45@/400ed pheonix st + 45@ eth def bugged exile st is a good start(pheonix ads inzanly dmg, nice abs/stack(28* fire abs + 10%max fire res + 5% max light res - exile gives gz defense, 5% max cold and fire res and ltIf u wanna spend more get a 60ed/1xx ar base pheonix for duels where res arent needed.
Helms: - Coa with BER + 30ed, 30cr, (nice adds = -15req or/and 9str) this jool would be optimale, but 19ed/-15/-10@/36 cr duped eu jool is gz too, or any other jool with res/dmg + ads is nice(cr is best ofc) I myself use 30ed, 30cr, 8-9str, -15req. (U wont need dex here since then u wont have mb with coa BER + LO
- 2nd Coa with BER + LO(nice in duels where there is assa)
- Circ: 2pala/30ed, 20fcr, 1% bonus ar pr lvl(nice ads are huge str, life, res, 2 soc is gz ads) My circ is: 30ed, 20fcr, ~38str, 1% ar pr lvl, 38life, ~86 cr, 1x dex(2soc, stats are with jools inside) and i use 2pala, 20fcr, 1% bonus ar, massive str and life adds SHAEL SHAELD'd for hamma/nec
When it comes too helms, what u can afford mathers, but coa BER + Nice ed/cr/ads jools is most important i guess... Since u got nice def fcr,ar and dmg might be better than the dr in tvts...
Weapons:- Grief BA (I use perf one since secret realm and i can just buy it in town xD) Anyway, a good grief is important too get gz dmg on both smite, zeal and charge! Ias is also important here ofc(peoples uses slow..)
- If u can afford or get ur hands on then u can use a eth/self rep BA: 250-350ed/40ias/fools mod/2soc with LO + LO for 40% deadly strike(but this is extreamly exspensive and grief works better vs mostly all!)
Armor:- Enigma(Dusk is probarly the best choise here: Good frw, good defense, low req!(tele is gz, str is gz, 8% dr is gz, 45frw is gz, 2skills etc)
Boots:- Gores
- When it comes too abs it depends how lame u wanna be.. In my realms 90% fire res is maxed allowed, but if u wanna bm u get Hots(45fire res + 15% max = 95fire res + nice stack with booth exile and pheonix) Infernals = legit if u use Exile but not if u use Pheonix, WWs is legit if u use pheonix and u get 90% fire res.
- Stack boots: good cold res/good light res is important, ads in this priored order is nice: 20fhr(48fhr break), str, frw
Gloves:- To gloves(30cr, 20fcr) I use theese in most duels cause of the fcr
- Steels: Good if u need max dmg(like vs barbs)
- Gleglaws I dont use this, but gleglaws are good vs bowas/smiters since it slows(havent tested but the knockback might ruins ur zeal, but amas/barbs in ww/smiters wont be knockbacked anyway by zeal
Belt:- I use Bugged belt(10ias/10slow/20@/20%dr/15str/25dex) / Verdungo would be my second choise
- Arach: I dont use this cause i need the stats from bugged belt, but if u use dungo it can be nice too have arach vs casters
Amulet:- HL vs allias/deadly strike/1skill (very usefull!)
Rings:- 1 raven always(nn getting slowed + nice ar and dex ads)
- 2nd raven(ar)/wisp 20%(oak, abs)/dwarf(abs)/10fcr, life, str, res, mana(nice too hit fcr breaks in different combinations)/ 0.8 stack rings are nice too:)
Precast: Demon Limb(ench - ar)
Charms: Torch, Annie, 10-15 x 20/5s + rest 322s(use bader stats if cant afford this) I dont use pcs, cause then low life and low ar!
If u have all this u have a eq for every party u meet! Its inzanly flexible both for bm and gm
Stats:- str(enought too use coa BER + LO when other eq is: Gores, to, bb, hl, pheonix, grief, eni, raven, wisp!)
- Dex(enought for max block with same eq)
- Vita (the rest)
- Ene (none)
Skills:- 1 holy freeze(nice vs smiters/amas but a bit bm vs amas)
- 20 fana, 20 holy shield, 1 vigor, 20 zeal, 20 sacrifice, rest skills u share between charge and smite!(or u have only 1 at charge and rest at smite)
Tactics:Tvt tips: If there is a hammer in ur screen, be carefull too jump other peoples, cause if hammer jumps u then, u will probarly die. If ur in team with nec(amp), then most casters, bowas etc will go down in 1 zeal attackAlways remember that if u start a zeal close too an enemy, u will attack 5 hits, then hammers and smiters can jump u, so be carefull....
Bone nec(2nd hardest duell if max block):Here it depends if its max block or vita.... Well, just charge and then tele on head and zeal as fuck if its vita nec, if he walk south then charge him, if he tele away trowlock. Sometimes u can suprice them with charging them(this is nice cause then u wont get slowed by golem!) If its a max block nec then smite is best(tele and smite, charge if moving south cause then they only have 25% block, trowlock if he tele away) (pheonix > exile here)
Pretty hard cause of bone armor and slowing golem, but ur dmg is inzane
Barbs: If they leap, just zeal lock them, when ur out of stun, change into a trowlock and BAM! Zeal if bvc, Smite if max block barb
Bvc:- EASY! Tele on him and zeal, he will be down fast as hell. If he defansive ww, just tele inhead of ww and zeal
U will rape him, I prefer pheonix here, but exile works nice cause the high def and lt too
Bva:- still pretty easy(here u just do the same, but use smite instead)
Wolf:- U got higher def, higher dmg(i think), wont be slowed, lt so u win ez: Zeal if nonblock, smite if block and he have no chance in any way... Exile is nice here
Ele:- Ez, with exile a druid will only help u in tvt! Just tele on him or his summons and zeal, i will lt into full life(he will die rly fast if non block, he can die pretty fast if max block too, but if max block u can also smite him ez and just use zeal too get rid of summons + lt from them
Sosos:If fb, u just do same as nec, but u can charge some more here. Same vs lights
If its a blizz, just tele on him, trowlock etc, only charge if he try too run out south
Sosos probarly die in 1 zeal strike(even the strongest ones;))
If they are mb, then do same as vs blizz but smite instead, only charge if they run!
Easy duells(u got maaany ways of absing them easy(pheonix is best here ofc!)
Assas: Uber def trapsins can be a bit hard, but often they die in 1 zeal ^^ Just manly tele on them, if stunned charge them and then sometimes they die, if u stomp close too him just zeal
Trowlock if he gets away
If sword/shield max block assa just smite him(zeal works great too;))
Hybs are even easier, if they ww either jump on them and zeal them down or jump in front of his ww(then he ww true u and u hit a lot, or if u are lucky he stop the ww at or beside u, then he is 100% dead!
Usually a easy duell, but u lack a bit fhr here, but np
Both pheonix and exile is nice here, but i prefer phoenix
Amazons:Bowa: u just tele on head, charge then tele on them and zeal(like a suprice attack), if he managed too put spear/shield just smite the fucker down
Javas: They are always max block, good dodge, hight life, nice dmg(just tele on them and smite them down)
If u wanna bm then just use holy freeze ^^
Easy duellBoth exile and pheonix is nice here, but i prefer pheonix
and now the hard part(paladins):
Hammers:Play as a smiter, charge some around, walk sout/east etc, nl him with smite and then he will only loose life while jumping u, jump him and smite if hes stunned. If he stomps u and get smiter he might charge away(then trowlock-jump him and smite when he is in middle of his charge;)) If u got a chance blindspot him and smite. Oak helps a lot here:) Its often smarth too stand 1cm south of X wall, then if he jumps u, u just smite him into wall/swamps/trees and he get locked there and u can smite him from 100%-0% HP
Pretty har duels(3. hardest duells after mb nec and smiter)
Smiters(hardest duell): Well, use normal svs tactic: He is a bit stronger than u, and might use slow... If he is stunned or amped u win ofc
But if not just charge close too him with Holy freeze until he gets slowed, then charge next too him with HF, and change too Fana and smite. In his screen he cant attack u then cause it looks like u stand away from himGleglaws are nice here
Fohers: Charge > charge > charge, if u got a chance, then tele and smite himIf its hard or not depends on ur stack xD
Zealers: U got smite, so u should win ^^ If he got smite too, use smite vs smite tacic as mention before, else u can just jump him
Well, too be a good dueller u need too read what other peoples think before they do it. So if u feel a enemy will jump u, just SHIFT and zeal the ground, then he will get raped when he jumps u unless he is a smiter and hammer, then he probarly takes u down^^
Also if stunned, ofc charge away if ur in danger.. Dno what else too write, just use common pvp sence xD
Hope the guide might be usefull for some1
My zealers name is SH-Zealer and is on "secret realm" If I can afford later i would build one on euWould work better there! Peoples have much bader stats at theyre chars, but the zealer will stay almost as good on eu as with perf items on the secret realm^^ But anyway it rapes where i got it too...
Edit: Omg posted it in wrong forum i think:P move plz^^
