This may be a poor place to ask this but is there a consensus on the best ever found zeal weapon ?
What I mean is I imagine the runewords can be beat by rates in special circumstances.
Is there a consensus on the best ever found rare for zealer? I see "10/10" trophy all the time but truly the 10 should go to only ONE item.

Anyone know where that one item is or what it looks like
#boredatwork

Stone Hew is the best zeal wep that i've seen. Eth fools zerk 300 ed 40 ias 2 sockets.

Bump

in theory a weapon like this should be possible:
ethereal self repair 2os 300 ed fools mod 40 ias
or if not fools mod:
ethereal self repair 2os 450 ed 40 ias + some more

there is a sword in the trophy room with these base stats but it is 2-handed
so yeah if u would get that on a 1 hander........ there's is ur ultimate weapons for zealer

you can also get 15 str on regular weapons, and 30 str on maces, or +20 max(or +20 min) on with 2soc, repair, 40 ias, and 300ed+fools or 450ed

i've always preferred seraph rods for zeal, although its between that and mighty scepter as to which is better. they can both spawn with +zeal and/or +fanat as well, which is pretty amazing.

Like mine but only one soc lol

Feedback appreciated on this setup for no tap melee (death Allowed):

CoA 2os - 80/30 ias
Fort
DeathZ
SS x/15ias
Dungo
> 13-15% ias %ar glove
Angelic Combo (can't sneak in highlords & a raven here? If I can, I'd use Death Ettin)
Gore

perhaps already answered within the last 1400pages:
-What's the minimum AR recommended for melee?
-Fort an unwise choice? If so, with EShaft, should I just dump SS & use EAlma Negra (i'm hoping I could forego angelic with %ar)
-Any wiser belt suggestions with CoA? If I can get away with highlords I reckon DeathZ, bloodfist, fhr belt would be the go.

Forgot to add, viso would be nice over a CoA, but not feasible atm.

Death is BM on east so we dont really build around it but..

With a non fools weapon you definitely need to use angelics so there is no getting away from that

I would not recommend using a CoA at all, A viso dia would be best, or perhaps a DS viso armet but if you must use CoA then try a crafted OW belt- something like high defense 10OW 24FHR 30str etc

I would not use shaft in a NT setup, if you don't like fort, try prudence and see if you like that

don't forget that w/o a raven you'll need to incorporate a cham rune in a socket

Possibly overlooking something, I wouldn't need a cham in NT, right? Especially since exile bm on west.
