Zeal dreamer is usefull, not meta, not bad, usefull...
Physical works as well, more exsspensive.

a straight up zeal paladin for pvp is good for melee duels only

youll pretty much get wrecked in pub games but if melee only is your thing then yes but expensive

If you like clearing pvm at a third of a speed of a hdin or a sorc.

Pvp is generally expensive since you only want to go zvz
Just about everything beats a zealer

So overall a niche pick for fun not for optimal use

No
Also i cant remember the last time ive seen a pvm zealer lol

Tele-Zeal is awesome for pvp
you won't kill hdins or VTs, zons are tough, but pretty much anything else you can slap-chop down. And you get mad style points

id want to try grief + LoH + forti + phoenix setup for mega dmg (pvm)

There is a great one, but it dont use regular visio helm. It uses visio fcr diadem.

Here was my old:
God ba + phoenix 400/45@
Cta + sop (can also use a widowmaker offhand)
Enigma ap
Highlord
Bug belt
10fcr/ar/str/dex/@ ring
Wisp/raven/dwarf/carrions
Diadem: 2/20/visio/48life/chamBer
Gores
Trang oul gloves

Torch
Annie
Cube, optional(widow maker, mara, 2 sojs)
10 x 20/5@
Rest 3/20/20

Max zeal + synergi
1 foh
10 charge
10 smite
20 fana
20 hs
1 vigor
1 holy freeze

Keep exile in stash, good vs ele dru and even barb.

48fcr zealer with cnbf, wisp for oak, alwyas nice abs, 36% DR.
Hybrid function:
Zeal/charge/smite/bow(optional, situation based)

Hits like a truck, vs smiters you use charge in and out gameplay. Vs hammer you make sure to «northsmite» them into a stuck position like wall/swamp/rock, then zeal. Or charge from south(timing essential). Bow is great too vs them.

tele zeal / smite / charge can be rly fun for pvp tbh

grief ba
highlord
coa chamber
trang gloves
arach
wisp20
10 fcr ar str dex mana ring (fr/pr/@ would be nice add)
gore rider
enigma scarab husk
phoenix st 45@

2-4 pc sks life
some resist charms
rest 20 life 36 ar sc's

1 foh
1 holy shield
20 fanatism
20 charge
20 zeal
20 sacrifice
rest into might

your smite will also hit rly hard still cos grief and phoenix is just straight op

Use all ethereal cracked uniques so you look like a sin that casted fade
