This guide will be short and simple.

This is for non-tap zealers only!

step 1) get to lvl 99

step 2) put all points into vita

step 3) max out zeal, sacrifice, fanaticism, defiance, holy shield, last 3 into blessed aim.

Now for the gear here's what you need:

Inventory: 20stat anni and torch, 6x 45-132 gcs, 19x32020's or 19x3/19/20's

Helm: 40 stat pally viso 2 sockets with 2x 30 enhanced damage + 9 dex + 9 strength jewels

Gloves: 20 ias 15/15 strength dex.

Weapon: +115 damage 290+ ed eth redeemer -> highest damage weapon next to grief with over 300 minimum

Jewelery: Highlords and 1xraven, 1xgodly stat ring. (the ar charms and -33 target defense from redeemer compensate for no angelics)

armor: ap fort

shield: stormshield with a 30ed/9dex/-15 requirement jewel

boots : up'd gores

belt: dungo's

6 bo +3 hs cta and hoz on switch (better hs)

With this build you will get 4.5k health and be rocking 52% ds at lvl 99 with the best minimum/average damage.

Enjoy!

Explanations not needed just take my word for it ;)

Serious zealers can figure out the reasoning anyways.

you gain like 432 AR with those grand charms over normal charms but lose out on AR by no raven, also -33% doesnt completely cover that imo like u said:

Lets assume you have 20K AR and opponent has 40k def ( if your not happy with these numbers, feel free to reproduce calculations with your own )

lets assume both players are of equal level --> chance to hit without -def = 33%
---> chance to hit with -def = 37.5%

If you work things out a bit, you see that if your AR was over 24k, with the opponents def staying at 40000, then you would have the same chance to hit - you would easily get that difference in AR with angelics. Also when comparing it to an EDC setup, both weapons have the -33% def mod so it would cancel out that bonus.

Another thing is, that your def might be a bit low without either an eth alma/prudence ( but I'm not sure that atm )..

edit: Also iirc you need 60 ias to reach max bp with your weapon, I can only see 40 on first glance, but maybe I'm missing something atm
