Depends but some people consider fort bm because it prebuffs chilling armor while in duel.

fort is bm

Tell whoever calls fort bm that you'll get them a box of tissues. I'm sure they cry about exile too.

Fort is bm because it has low defense and gets you killed faster. Just like lightsabre is bm because it has so much ass-raping damage.

Considering the conversation was on non tap.. yea I think its safe to assume they'd cry about exile too.

Ah that's right forgot they brought that up lol. Fort is gm regardless.

Fort is bm? Wow I'm really sick of playing diablo with a bunch of pussies. I like how glasszons complain about tap too when they're dead in 2 hits. I also like how people complain about slow even though the cap is 50% for a reason. No one will complain about a FOHers -300 res though, seriously if that's gm anything is.

Anyways back on topic, currently I'm playing hardcore and i find holy freeze to be a lot more effective than fanactism as it slows down all enemies by a significantly higher amount than fanactism speeds you up. My level 52 zealot slows all enemies down within about 15 or so yards for 56% I believe the cap on fanactism's IAS is 37? Holy freeze for zealers, fanactism for smiters in my opinion.

At level 90 my guys skill build will be

Max holy freeze
Max sacrifice
Max zeal
Max resist cold
Rest in holy shield.

I don't need defense really since I plan on slowing enemies down to a crawl with a combo of holy freeze and cleglaws gloves.

I hope someone decides to try the freeze zealer and finds it a much fun as I do.

Yeah slow sounds like fun. When I pvm I just go for kill speed so fanat is required for that.

Yeah I usually went with fanact too, the only downfall of freeze is the damn cold immunes. I was playing untwinked and I found this crazy good fool's broadsword at level 20ish and I've been using it ever since I actually got a rift waiting for me at 53 that will help loads with the cold immunes. The damage you get from freeze is far lower than fire or light auras, but the freeze helps loads. I more than likely take longer to kill things than a fanactism pally, but I 100% guarantee that me and my party are much safer with holy freeze over fanact. Usually there is another pally who uses fanactism in my party anyways so I'm not losing anything in terms of damage. Then there is always the low level hdin with concentration, oh man my damage is crazy high compared to theirs because holy freeze gives me about 700-1000 cold damage on my weapon. Like I said before though THOSE DAMN COLD IMMUNES. Luckily holy freeze is slow not freeze, which very few enemies are immune to. So I can escape easily.
