just wondering... if theres a vaild build for Zeal Vs All /w maxRes /w still decent aR.
srry i am more of a caster and hybrid user... never really made a pure melee char... thats to plain.
pm me if anyone knows one (;
Yeah there is. For ar you only need around 10k and you'll be fine against most besides high def smiters/hdins but you would smite them anyway (unless the hdin doesn't cast hs in which case it's an ezpk after 1 zeal) so ar doesn't matter vs those either. I tend to use this setup in pubs in vs all so you need high/stacked res, high dr, decent def (for the random bvcs which are free kills for a zealot anyway) and good life.
There are plenty of diff setups but the one I used the most on my zealot "Telezeal" (even though I didn't do telezeal much
)
ber/ber pcoa
eth fort
upd hoz
verdungos
highlords
raven
godly melee ring w/ res/life
steelrends
godly duped boots / gores or travs if you want more pure dmg
p grief pb
Now inventory is where you need some res/life charms to make sure you have good enough stacked res. I used around 20x 32020s, with rest 20/11s and 20/5s with other 20/11s for each element in stash if I really wanted to stack vs them along with the usual sorb if I wanted to bm (since it's pubs anyway so i did that a lot
)
Strat is pretty simple just charge then zeal.
Vs smiters try to outsmite them and surprisingly if you get a few hits before they do you'll beat a pure smiter np with a zealot and lvl 1 smite. Although good smiters will (and should) beat you every time but we are talking about pubs so don't be scared of the majority of smiters since they're garbage. If that doesn't work go get a bone nec and you'll rape them np.
Vs windies it's nice to have to have tap and most pub windies use wolves so you just leach all your life back right away so they aren't even an issue most of the time. They might qq about tap but you're a zealot so who cares
Mb necs just s/e and get a diff char unless they're bad and try charge around them and hope to get an opening.
Bvc should be a free kill if you know how to duel. Do not charge into their ww or you'll lose every time unless they're terrible. Predict where they're wwing and try to get in front of it and even if it's short whirls you'll be able to. It creates long duels and if you mess up a charge at all they can take advantage of it if they're good and take out a good chunk of your life. But vs a lot of pub bvcs you can even just tank them and win easily just the good ones you actually need to think. If they're a widowbarb just lol and 6-0 them.
hdins all I have to say is gl. You won't beat a good hdin on a zealot unless they really mess up or you get a lucky zeal in (which happens sometimes)
Vita casters aren't much of an issue tbh unless they're really good although I haven't seen to many "good" vita casters in pubs and majority of the ones I see are mb.
Mb casters are harder for obvious reasons but just charge smart and predict where they're going and hope they don't block all your zeals.
