So here's how I set up my zealot:

(USWest sc non-ladder no-tap builds :) )

Stats

Strength: 156 base w/ torch and anni (this is a MUST because you need to wear stormshield and be able to swap gear around)

Dexterity: enough for max block.

Vitality: none

Energy: rest of the points here so you never run out of mana while dueling.




Setups



ETH UP'D DURIEL'S SHELL

Weapon: 269% ed edc
Armor: 2k base def eth up'd duriel's shell (zod'd)
Shield: Perfect stormshield with 7 fhr / 9 str / 9 dex / 25 ed jewel
Helm: 109% ed / 30 str andy's socketed with 94 ar / 14 max jewel (I need a new andy lol)
Rings: 2x angelic's
Amulet: Angelic ammy
Gloves: 60 / 174 / 19 rends
Boots: 204 Upgraded Gore Riders
Belt: 39 vit / 128% ed / 15% Damage Reduce Verdungos

Switch: +3 holy shield / +6 bo cta / Hoz

Charms:
1x 132 ar / 37 life gc
8x misc. max / ar / life gc's ranging from 10 / 49 / 35 to 10 / 74 / 39
10x misc. max / ar / life sc's ranging from 1 / 14 / 17 to 3 / 20 / 20
20 / 12 ptorch
20 / 12 / 7 anni





This build is my favorite, and is what I use in non-runeword duels (barring cta) or against non-fort builds.
It owns against valor, gbane, and some fool's set-ups, but rolls over dead to zbug fort or edeathz.



EBUG PRUDENCE:

Weapon: 269% ed edc
Armor: perfect 3645 def sacred armor prudence
Shield: 157 stormshield cham'd
Helm: 109% ed / 30 str andy's socketed with 94 ar / 14 max jewel
Rings: 2x angelic's
Amulet: Angelic ammy
Gloves: 60 / 174 / 19 rends
Boots: 204 Upgraded Gore Riders
Belt: 39 vit / 128% ed / 15% Damage Reduce Verdungos


Switch: +3 holy shield / +6 bo cta / Hoz

Charms:
1x 132 ar / 37 life gc
8x misc. max / ar / life gc's ranging from 10 / 49 / 35 to 10 / 74 / 39
10x misc. max / ar / life sc's ranging from 1 / 14 / 17 to 3 / 20 / 20
20 / 12 ptorch
20 / 12 / 7 anni







This is the anti-edeathz build (you'll see why later) and one of the better non-tap set-ups out there.
The defense on prudence beats zbug ap stone, making it the highest defense on any armor on any realm.
Some people prefer to use ebotdz instead of edc so they can use a visionary while maintaining 156 base str.
For me, I'm planning on upgrading to an eth andy's for the extra defense, so this build should hit almost 50k def.



COOKIE CUTTER ZBUG FORT / EDC

Weapon: 269% ed edc
Armor: 1.1 life / 30 res zbug fort
Shield: 157 stormshield cham'd
Helm: Visionary (see below for stats on mine)
Rings: 2x angelic's
Amulet: Angelic ammy
Gloves: 60 / 174 / 19 rends
Boots: 204 Upgraded Gore Riders
Belt: 39 vit / 128% ed / 15% Damage Reduce Verdungos


Switch: +3 holy shield / +6 bo cta / Hoz

Charms:
1x 132 ar / 37 life gc
8x misc. max / ar / life gc's ranging from 10 / 49 / 35 to 10 / 74 / 39
10x misc. max / ar / life sc's ranging from 1 / 14 / 17 to 3 / 20 / 20
20 / 12 ptorch
20 / 12 / 7 anni







Cookie-cutter zbug fort set-up, which is a good build all-around.
I generally have this equipped when going into a game before I have a chance to see what my opponent is using.

COOKIE CUTTER ZBUG FORT / EDEATHZ

Weapon: 400% ed edeathz (15% ed base zerker, but mine doesn't have 3 ar)
Armor: 1.1 life / 30 res zbug fort
Shield: Perfect stormshield socketed with a 40% ed / 15 ias jewel
Helm: Visionary
Rings: 245 ar / 20 dex raven and 241 ar / 20 dex raven
Amulet: Highlord's Wrath
Gloves: 60 / 174 / 19 rends
Boots: 204 Upgraded Gore Riders
Belt: 39 vit / 128% ed / 15% Damage Reduce Verdungos


Switch: +3 holy shield / +6 bo cta / Hoz

Charms:
1x 132 ar / 37 life gc
8x misc. max / ar / life gc's ranging from 10 / 49 / 35 to 10 / 74 / 39
10x misc. max / ar / life sc's ranging from 1 / 14 / 17 to 3 / 20 / 20
20 / 12 ptorch
20 / 12 / 7 anni







Here it is: USWest's gruesome edeathz set-up. 10k damage with over 90% deadly strike...
The point of this build is to kill your opponent in two or three hits (depending on whether or not they're bo'd).
Even with 50% dr and pvp penalties, you're still capable of dishing out almost 1k with each hit.
The problem is: your ar sucks. The build works fine against 30k or even 35k def opponents, but good luck against prudence.



ETH VALOR

Weapon: 269% ed edc
Armor: 174% ed eth valor zod'd*
Shield: 157 stormshield cham'd
Helm: Visionary
Rings: 2x angelic's
Amulet: Angelic ammy
Gloves: 60 / 174 / 19 rends
Boots: 204 Upgraded Gore Riders
Belt: 39 vit / 128% ed / 15% Damage Reduce Verdungos

*Note: West has .08 eth valors that are zod bug'd. I'll see if I can get someone to post their build.

Switch: +3 holy shield / +6 bo cta / Hoz

Charms:
1x 132 ar / 37 life gc
8x misc. max / ar / life gc's ranging from 10 / 49 / 35 to 10 / 74 / 39
10x misc. max / ar / life sc's ranging from 1 / 14 / 17 to 3 / 20 / 20
20 / 12 ptorch
20 / 12 / 7 anni







I'm not very familiar with how to use this build or against what kind of opponent.
It's kind of a back-up for when duriel's isn't working in a no-runeword duel.
