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.


Haha yeah rifts a lot of fun. I never used it on a zealot but I made an assasin around it using Sarahs rift guide.

I was trying to say that fort might be bm because of chilling armor prebuff. I know a lot of people don't think of fort as gm in melee duels. I am also that way because its like a skill that procs when you are struck and it has a duration after that. Does not seem fair to me. The person with chilling armor activated will have to leave and rejoin game after every point scored.

I know what you're saying. In sets the person isn't aloud to have it casted before each duel so they have to be killed each time which gets old. But it's still a gm item.

If you really want an all out max dmg zealot I have some gear suggestions

Gaze - 40/15 ias
Fort
Death ettin
Hoz 40/15 ias
Nos coil
Laying of hands
Melee ring w/ life leach
Raven
Highlords
War travs

Everything dies :)

When phoenix procs it will prevent you from zealing so it actually causes your dps to actually go down which is why I never suggest it.

40/15 max jewels work in pally shields since it already has ed%. So you can make a 225%ed/60 max shield if you only care about damage.

You need 15 ias jewels in that setup to hit max ias.
