Actually, having looked at the first page, I noticed that this guide was posted... in 2006.
Why beat down a guide that is 2 YEARS OLD???!!!!
Eldest Elder probably got a life somewhere and doesn't even care what you guys think about his zeal guide. He has probably made a better one already if he hasn't quit D2 and started playing City oF Heroes or Villains or even WoW. Remember kiddes, d2 is 8 years old.
General Patton.
I was about to post saying something like this, but you beat me to it.
Guys, I posted this two years ago, my last reply to this was over a year ago. To this day I'm still getting PM's about different parts of this guide. I haven't played d2 actively in about a year, and I dismantled my aurazeal sorc about two weeks after I made this.
From what I remember, I was just giving the OPTIMAL prebuff setup. It's much easier to do this:
Inv: Memory staff with +9 Energy shield (prefer with shield + enchant things as well), 6x light/life gc's, 2x 120+ ar/life gc's, anni, torch, and 9x 70/15's. I also had a CTA Staff on secondary, and I'd switch these around to do so. The screenshot I showed you is with OPTIMAL gear, OPTIMAL prebuff, etc. When using a more reasonable build, you're going to end up getting around 40-50k damage, 15-17k ar, and about 27-2800 mana. This should still be fine for most things.
I never said this was a good character to duel with, I just always had fun doing so. I also made a kicksin; shitty to duel with, but fun as hell because it pissed so many people off. I had a mule dedicated to different gear I wanted to piss with; if I wanted to use my zeal-sorc as a bear, etc, I'd swap the gear around accordingly before going off dueling.
Go on single player or some such, and play with different setups until you find the one you like best. It took me quite a bit to find a setup I preferred, but it worked out in the end.
I haven't had a Zealsorc in about two years, please stop PM'ing me questions about it. There's plenty of different ways you can make this character, this guide just shows a couple different ones. I have a life now, thanks.Edit: Lol'd at nearly 15k views though.
