Couple of Quick Questions.
Why does your posted valor set up have more vit than the others but your life is less?
And is it true that once you hit 3k life you should put points into dex so the you receive more def and ar?


Sylvannos answered your question about the life already. But mainly it's because that setup is using ar/life gcs as apposed to the 32020s as the majority of the setups in my guide which is why the life is a lot lower. You shouldn't need to overstat dex for ar in most setups because your inventory covers that. If you are using a setup like evalor you should use ar/life gcs to make up for the loss of ar instead of dumping points into dex.

If you have any questions about melee feel free to post in here or just pm me :)

My zealot was Godly-pk so everyone in pn knows who I am and knows what I say is correct.

imo you need a whole section discussing 10/75/45's vs. 3/20/20's vs. 132/45's lol.

I still haven't made up my mind on which I want to use :(

Lol yeah I didn't even think that a lot of people might not notice what inventory I suggested so I left it like that. A lot of times it comes down to preference but mainly if your setup can use angelics and get cnbf elsewhere it's best to go with full 32020s and setups that need highlords/ravens should find a good mix of gcs/scs.

My biggest problem is deciding between ar/lifers and damage/ar/life gc's.

Or even using ar/life sc's with 10/ 70+ / 35+ gcs

edit: what I should do is use a ar and damage calculator to see which one is better.

Yeah it can be tough and sometimes you just need to play around for a while until you find a balance you like the most.

edit: would be easier to just get on single player and have tons of each type imo

Here's my stats using ar/lifer gcs.

I hit ok, but my damage is really low.

I'm also using andy's for the strength, ias, and open socket.

Might switch to a visionary with 10/75/45's.

edit: also this is w/ bo, I have about 2.2k life w/o.

edit 2: Also on west, so my defense may seem low but we can't use exile. Compared to the other zealots on our realm, my defense is average.

Yeah the dmg is really low in that setup i'm assuming edc? The ar is fine especially since non tap so I would switch to the dmg/ar/life gcs or at least half / half dmg/ar/life and ar/life charms.
