zeal charge on d2r is also very strong.
as are toolkit dins, or swiss army knives as i call em.
nah you can introduce charge dmg and it works brilliantly tbh, just dont care for crap about how much foh dmg you have, i would put 0 pts in holy shock tbh, id go pure hammer/charge and just make sure ive got a foh/conv/medi scepter on swap.
as long as your opponent has GM liferep, even low foh dmg will chip away 10-20 at a time or some crap which trust me, goes a very long way. then you are also not sacrificing much if anything in order to have that foh but maintain the charge and hammer dmg you would normally see on one.
it's not really "mass str" either with divine, ur just going what, 30-35 str pts higher? you wont lose much life at all. plus thats the ideal weapon anyways, you want that dmg. only thing better would be an eth rep rare high ed with all the perfect skills and that will probly never exist.
zeal/charge was very strong in d2 lod as well, so if it's better in d2r it should be fantastic.
I think that's why chum said "pure mage". In your example it's simply a libby with a foh stick imo.
I have also played mage in lld and thought it worked great as well, it's viable for sure. iirc i used the same build that chum is talking about.
