well, i only calculated the difference in dmg between fana vs conv, not my total dmg. But now you made me curious, maybe i do some math


yeah, its really interesting and funny

Ok, here dmg calc (correct me, if i made any mistakes):

Wpn Dmg (Grief with +393): 424 - 428, avg. 426 (used this for the further math)

Off Wpn ED:

Fana Lvl 27: +492 ed
Forty: +300 ed
Zeal: +318 ed
Conc Lvl 18: +315 ed
Might Lvl 20 +230 ed

Total ed: +1655 %

Raw phys dmg without DS: 7476,3

But i got 71% of deadly strike, so avg phys dmg is: 12784,3

Holy Shock Lvl 30 (dual dream) with maxed resist lightning and 10 points in salvation: 1-6338 light dmg (avg. 3169,5)

Total avg dmg is: 15953

So, with infi instead of pride, i would lose some phys dmg, but quite boost my lightning dmg a lot.

you sir are a fucking savage

Okay, I see it now. At first when I glanced at it I didn't see that the difference was calculated for both but just expressed a little differently.

So you concluded that Fanaticism was better with your high end gear. What if you couldn't afford a Grief yet? Would there be lesser weapon choices that could sway it to Conviction? I believe there are a few cheap RWs with a lot of elemental damage and/or CTC elemental attacks on them.

hey fam i ran a zealot last season like this. focused on the phys dmg portion mainly but i threw on a dual dream and maxed the lit skills, along with using an infi on my merc. you cant put on any other helm and shield that will make up 7k lit damage per swing added to your attacks. im surprised noone else has built a zealot like through the years but the one i ran over the summer was the first ive ever heard of. its been a couple of months and i actually sold the character toward the end of the season but i believe my setup was something like:

dream hat
dream shield
eth death beserker axe
jewelers armor-needed some ed/ias jewels to hit 4 frame zeal. i put in as many bers as i could after hitting 4 frame zeal
dungos
dracs
goreriders
highlords
raven
rand ring

skills obv max zeal, fanat, sac, lit res, rest in salv
i even had a cta built in a scepter that gave me +skills to holy shield so i saved the skill points on all its pre-req's

zealot can kill ANYTHING in 8player game with ease. rapes clone, ubers, etc. when life tap goes off you are immortal, you have high damage, high CB, high lit damage added to attacks. merc gives might and infinity. its pretty much the best pvm zealot you can make

Yeah, seems so obvious now, but I had never heard of it before. It was either zeal/fanat, auradin, or avenger, but it didn't occur to me that you could be zeal/fanat and still basically half of an auradin. It's pretty sweet.

Absolutely. I built basically a pure zealot with dual dreams years ago on bnet for PvM fun. Was very powerful and very fun.

did one hour of fast Diablo runs as 125 fcr Hammer (Seals only)
