Nice, thanks man ! Yeah that’s pretty much the setup I would try!
Guess you are right about the grief , even when -35 light res on crescent moon is awesome for your light dmg (especially vs immunes) you loose a lot of Phys dmg and also Ias/leech.

Another thing that came up in my mind is a hybrid That focuses more on lightning dmg than physical. Dropping sacrifice and some zeal points and maxing foh + holy Bolt (only 40 points)
You could get a CTA in a + 3 foh base for +4foh weapon with spirit on switch.
Since foh has a casting delay , you won’t loose dmg with a lower fcr breakpoint and basicly only need some + skills for dmg.

Any zeal version is good/descent against small groups/single target but sucks in realy high density areas (where foh begins to realy shine) With a foh hybrid you could easily clear huge density groups with a high foh on switch. And kill everything that’s left standing with zeal on mainhand. In small/medium density areas you can only zeal.

But I guess such a hybrid would be better for dream version / phys zealer, since Foh won’t be good with offensive aura skillers slotted in for holy shock . How bad are combat skillers for a phys zealer ?
Foh-cta offhand with grief/Phoenix mainhand sounds kinda good thinking about it you should have enough skillpoints for that and It would help with aoe (the more monsters there are, the worse is a zealer , but the stronger is a Fohdin and vice versa….they seem to counter each other’s disadvantages pretty good)
Thoughts on that one ?

Last question: have you tried a self use holy fire yet ? Is the meele dmg somehow competitive? Phoenix just looks so sexy with -28 enemy fire res and 400ed for Fire/ phys dmg boost.
But I guess there is a reason no one plays holy fire outside of the auradin runewords …
