So here's how I set up my zealot:
(USWest sc non-ladder no-tap builds
)
StatsStrength: 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.
SetupsETH UP'D DURIEL'S SHELLWeapon: 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 / EDCWeapon: 269% ed edc
Armor: 1.1 life / 30 res zbug fort
Shield: 157 stormshield cham'd
Helm: Visionary (see below for stats on mine)

Boots: 204 Upgraded Gore Riders

Charms: 1x 132 ar / 37 life gc

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.
