first of all, are you trying to play on d2r or LOD? the gear availability is much different, but the basics remain the same. (I realize this is the D2R subforum, but I am now lost because you have had mostly people here commenting that dont even play d2r...)

in any case, as jay and others have mentioned, you will need different setups to counter different classes. he is right in that there are fury druids, zealots, conc barbs, and zons.

In general, I think the info you are looking for is this:

vs. zealots and conc barbs, they have high defense. So you will want to do the cookie cutter edc + angelics build to counter that (or, if you're feeling like spending $$, fools weapons & craft rings)

vs. fury druids and jab amazons, they do not have high defense. Instead, fury druids have a ton of life and jab zons have pesky dodge, the best way to counter it is (to put it simply) pump damage rather than attack attacking, so people typically do ebotdz, gface, etc.

If you have specific questions beyond this, that kind of information is found in the zealot guides most likely.

At some point, you should hop into pn/1 and start dueling to see what works for you. If you're talking d2r, things are unfortunately not that simple anymore, there are several different zealot dueling formats that people use which will require you to attain all different kinds of gear. Death is now unbanned basically everywhere, so that is undoubtedly the best weapon for zeal vs fury, for example. There are some formats where fortitude is banned and some where fortitude is allowed, etc.

Another thing to note is that people who are at not at least level 97 struggle quite a bit and do very poorly (zeal, other classes like jab can get away with it cuz dodge), most are 99 at this point

High defense swap for bm zons who use - def skill
Life tap setup for noob dueling
Prudence/fort/shaft setup depending on what opponent is wearing, prudence beats fort, shaft beats prudence etc
A balanced inventory based on what you needs a 25- 50% cth is ideal, never run 37x scs as that’s for the brain dead guys.

Click on opponent, hold shift and it stops at your weapon range. If you see an opponent move to your side mid duel then that duel is nullified as they angled you to cheat.

Zeal is not random, certain dmg taken puts you into fhr aninstion, you’re not just swinging and missing, it’s fhr.

Try to hit 1 zeal out if every 5

Last tip, don’t listen to anyone.


Correction. Body should listen to you. Dumbest shit I’ve read in ages on here

Shut the fuk up, every person who every made me duel never once posted what happened.

Your a dumb btch, and you always will be. I’ll save you from yourself.

Last time I tried to take over, the zon -def skill and tap vs non tap became instantly legal. If people thought click and hold was pathetic, they shoulda seen you guys squeal and panic when I showed up.
