I use sorc with botd pb (low phys dmg) but ok ias and coh, these give survivability nicely.

This weapon allows 6fpa (with +5 Off-weapon ias).
I didnt mention it because of its low damages (base PB is low, and cannot be etheral).

For the same speed, you could either use Griswold Caduceus 4 * 15ias/40ed, with better damages.
Or 2*Shael + 1*15ias/ed + soc free (Um? Ber? another 40ed?).

But of course 30@stats + leech (+budget?) make your choice totally understandable !

i don't get why botd war spike in the forti setup
with grief 40 you would reach 7 fpa with just laying of hands allowing much more freedom in gear choice and you would deal much more damage.

30@stats = much more life, more tanking
12-15% life leech
And you dont sacrifice much to reach 45ias, since anyhow you would use Highlords+Laying of hands.

But of course it's nice with Grief PB, Strings of ears over Nosferatu.
Thats why I put Grief in the list of the more interesting weapons in the top of this Guide.

You will suggest the use of Draculs with Grief/Forty.
Thats a good choice, but, having tried it for long times, I feel ctc Life tap somehow too low for you to rely on it.
I mean, from experience, it will trigger Life tap in 1sec when you dont really need it, but it wont when you're facing a pack of Death Lords extra-strong + Fanatism aura...

Be sure to use 37+ias Grief, to hit 7fpa with 15% Off-weapon ias.

this.

After playing zeal-sorc on and off since the introduction of dream RW's i just made my first ShockingShemale aka bearsorc.
I really do miss tele when in bear form, but anything else is much better than my zeal-sorc. Dmg is higher, faster attacks, i have more than enough leech with 4*sheal caddy to keep my life maxed all the time. Cant believe i diddent make one before!

Indeed. I believe tele is not so helpful in pvm - I mean except if you want to repeat Baal over and over. When I play pvm, I like to clean any monster in my way.

You saved my work, thanks a lot
