Why are people using exile for pvm Zealer? Need tap that bad to forgo 2x dps from a reaper merc? Also giving up a ton of dps from phoenix.

I think it’s 60ias for death zerker no?

Could drop Gface for Andy’s. Death has huge cb/ds already so Gface doesn’t add much. Ias jewel in Andy’s + HL is 55ias but I think you need 60, so could go

Andy’s Ral
HL
LoH

Drop exile, worthless for pvm and go Phoenix or HoZ

Nope, you can get resistance from charms. All of his gear is standard zealot gear. The only difference would be nosferatu's coil. What is gimped there?

Never replace gface, just 15ias jewel in it +nos coil.


Nos is a very large downgrade over dungos I don’t get what you’re trying to argue

And if you have to sacrifice anything for “comparable” damage to grief it’s already worse :bonk:

Death on a zealot is comparable to grief dmg wise + ctc glaciall spike is a very nice crowd controller.

He wants it for PVM. Glacial Spike means more security than dungo. Even then, I'd use string of ears over dungo in PVM.

Either way you’re giving up the dr, which is even more important now for pvm if you’re using a sunder charm

There is 0 use of a sundercharm for a zealer. And 15% doesn't mean much when you're amped. You need much more dr in pvm.

How do you kill PIs with zealer? amp/decrep works at 100% effectiveness after physical sunder

Usually with an azurewrath on switch combined with a reaper merc.

That sounds pretty slow tbh. Would rather preserve utility slot for CTA and use sunder. The added life offsets increased dmg taken. With sunder+decrep proc, PI monsters are at 45% phys resist, so it's like doing normal damage.
