ya, like i said, no argument with your guide, great info here for a zealot, just was horribly dissapointed by how a zealot actually performs in pubs.
you have multiple gear choices for your guide, which would you recommend for generic pubing? I'm doing a modified visionary build (as i have fools + visionary items for him) but I cant seem to find a nice balance that yields good res and maintanes decent damage?
change your gear a li. Use enigma so you can tele zeal shit. Grief pb (stack ias vs necro golem slow) and eth death zerk (gotta mess around gear to get 60ias on gear), and make sure you use a shield that has 45 all res (like 45 res exile ST cause you dont need as much defense in pubs vs if you went zeal vs zeal ONLY), phx ST 45res is pretty good and you can almost 1 zeal anything in pubs if they dont block wit that shield. Makes you hit hard but the firestorm proc does get annoyin since it casts VERY often with zeal. Your AR overall should be fairly high even without visionaries and fools. If it isnt high enough, demonlimb enchant, if people complain about 100 fire dam ... they must really suck.
Change your bottom row of charms to 10x 20/5s for res (you will need it, ive tried wit all 3/20/20s and it didnt work too well). Change boots to 08 res boots. Maintain HL, dual ravens (gonna need vs blizzers so you die in 2 blizz shards instead of 1 blizz shard, but even then you'd switch to 205 cold ST vs a blizz sorc).
The 2 chars that will give tele zeal problem are smiters and hdins since they are max block chars and their attacks are "auto hit". You prolly have a 5% chance to win. So its best to let others kill them, then nk them and piss them off
Ive modified a pub tele zeal skill category setup to fit pubs but I keep secret. It does pretty well against a pub smiter n hdin but you still wont win easily straight up unless you have skills.
