Your 80% DR build is super scary

Have you the zealot of my guide? I know you haven’t because you wouldn’t be running your mouth if you did.

I’m telling you guys the truth, but your dumb bitches and won’t believe.

Do you still have that rare shield

I’ve literally gave you the math of why your idea is terrible.

And literally every melee person has confirmed.

There is no reason to go 80% DR. CB is a rather irrelevant stat especially considering all the gear gymnastics you are doing to reach 80% DR thus lowering your damage by more than what you are lowering the CB damage taken by.

It’s a terrible sacrifice lol

I am going to show you how to balance a character one time and one time only because I honestly think your to dumb to figure it out and the knowledge may go to waste.

Without going into the explaination of shaft vs fort, prudence vs fort let’s just start with a standard zealot.

Let’s focus on 2 times for now so I don’t overwhealm you

Stormshield 500 defense
Non eth alma 500 defense

Okay so we can see they both have the same defense correct? Now Alma has 2 skills, Ed and ar the ss doesn’t.

Now lets look at my build, I use a fools mighty scepter “only one that can wear rends” and what does my weapon have? 3/3/3 additional skills.

So if we put on the ss and use the skills from the fools we are actually the same but now I turn off your Cb

You end up with no Cb and I hit you with rends and 1 more skill?

Okay okay?

Losing the plot over a mild debate? Who is truly the dummy here?

“Turning off” cb at the cost of defense, ar, damage and life is extremely dumb.

Bro I just explained it to you besides the inventory balance, I can’t do this.

So you are saying shaftstop + stormshield + dungo for 80% dr

You could swap shaft for fort or stormshield for rare shield or eth HoZ or Alma negra eth or non eth.

Your 80% DR build lowers the average damage you take from Cb by 15 damage per hit as compared to 50% DR.

So to lower your opponents average damage per hit by 15, you give up fort or shield.

Forts 300% damage is significantly more than 15pvp damage for example. Not to mention CA proc.

Your idea is god awful and proven by math. You just don’t/cant grasp it

Or Alma Negra similar def but gain more AR and damage.

So many better ways to build a zealer than your horrible 80% DR build.
