i would go charger, and if zeal i bet theres better weapons

Quote (conrad_noble @ Fri, Jun 12 2009, 04:18pm)

charger is boring everyone has one since 1.10

and you could use a knout for dmg but that means statting str/dex

i would try going Bh +skills 20 ias with good ar, sock it with p ame, and go sexy rare rings+amulet, and use twitch.

OR cleg sword+gloves,

Quote (conrad_noble @ Fri, Jun 12 2009, 04:21pm)

both too slow anton. plus zeal is an interruptable attack so between swings you would get fucked over

ok, its that time again when Conrad gets bored on a friday afternoon in the office...

so here we go another NM PvP build with a twist that i pulled out the air this afternoon...


ClassicPvP Zealer

1. Skills

easy

20 Zeal Main Skill
20 Sacrifice synergy
20 Fanatacism Main Aura
1 Might Pre-requisite skill
1 Blessed aim another Pre-Requisite skill
1 Concentration another Pre-Requisite skill
x points into random skills here [ i suggest atleast 1 point in holy shield, which means 68 skill points which means the character can be finished as early as clvl60 aslong as it stays in NM ]
told you it was easy...

2. Equipment

mostly easy

only real gear dependant part of this build is the weapon

i suggest a High %ed +2 40ias flail [ 30ias can be used but this means further ias gloves/gear is required, potentially sacrificing better mods ]

and i suggest Angelic Rings + Amulet Combination for AR, but these can be switched for nice rares [ dual resists / life / stats / ar / skills ] dependant on your overall AR once final gear is found

then stack as much Cold and Light resist as possible [ 250 of each should be enough ]

with this gear alone and the above skillset you should be doing a base phys dmg of 1 - 204 dmg per attack [ 0%ed flail ]

so thats 5 attacks per zeal 5* 1-204 = 5 - 1020

and thats 4fpa / 6.2 attacks per second 6.2*1 - 204 = 6 - 1265

and then pvp penalty 6 - 1265 / 6 = 5 - 211 per attack

minus the defending characters defence and block rating.

but remember the above calculations are based on a flail with 0% ed meaning that any added % enhanced dmg will significantly increase the dmg done

3. Gameplay Tactics

I wont lie to you, its gonna fail vs barbs so dont bother with them.
vs all else simply charge upto your target and unleash that hefty zeal on its face

with properly stacked resists [ 125 fr 250 cr 250 lr ] sorcs and fc zons shouldnt pose any threat, only bad mannered walling necs can be a pain.

tell me what you think............

or you can not fail and do this
make a holy shock din
max holy shock
synergies
1 into zeal, 1 into charge and 1 into all the other reqs
use angies rings ammy and armor, use a tarn, +2 din+3 holy shock scepter
i was doing 4k+ at lvl 43

Quote (hellohal @ Fri, Jun 12 2009, 05:29pm)

4k+ dmg divided by 6 (pvp penalty)
around 750dmg

divided by 4 (75lr)

17x dmg, seems low...

Quote (xoldmanx @ Fri, 12 Jun 2009, 23:56)

works very will against barbs, zonz, and sorcs
barbs all you have to do is run around
nking with it kills 1-2 hits
sorcs are easy when they staff
zons are easy to kill because of synergy resist lightning adds to maxium res of lightning
but i'm sure thats bm.
all of my pvp chars are all mld and duel nm.
i come across of zealers. they are all fail.
they might be good for lld.
holy shock dins are very effective against barbs, staff sorcs, all zons.
and they are very nice for nking.
ive had one and was very fun.

to conrad:
nice and helpful guild
but holy shock is way more effective.
