If tap:
Visio
HL
Fools
Shaft
Exile
Raven + craft ring
Rends/20 ias gloves if you use a seraph
Verdungo
Gore

Nontap:
Visio
Hl
Fools
Prudence
Storm
Raven + craft ring
Rends/20 ias gloves if you use a seraph
Verdungo
Gore

Invent is 322, 10/76/45, 132/45, 36/20 or 30/20 as you desire.

If you can't afford a nice fools (should be atleast 280ed+eth/rep to beat edc) go with EDC, angelic combo and 20 ias gloves. :)


Edit.
ofc there's other viable armors for non-tap like Templars Might, rare eth/rep 2os, arkaine's valor, shaft with a nice shield or alma.

Someone explain why eDeath Zerker(runeword) banned in GM zvz but exile is allowed. I come from uswest like 5-10 years ago and death wasn't BM then. Exile was BM. I just bought a edeath Z a week ago -_-

I don't understand it either but the common explanation is that the elemental damage from death is OP when you have zero or negative resistance.

Exile is ony GM @East - imo exile is too superior and makes Shaft the only really viable option. Non tap is funnier, especially if Prudence is banned too.

No prudence is gm to use. Some random events might not allow it but that would be it.

Levi was great in .10 patch and really popular but died out and shaft setups took over. Nothing's changed since I posted the guide as far as setups go except now there's better visionaries and fools weps available to use. There still aren't many fools that would be better than an edc though for tap so that's still generally the best wep unless you have a lot of fg to buy a self rep 2 soc high ed fools.

The only reason Death was banned originally was because the glacial spike puts druids into FHR and was considered bad manners. Then people started making all kinds of arbitrary rules about chance to cast and elemental damage which never existed when real palapk was around.

Vouch. There were never limits on elemental damage until I let palapk nation take over the tourneys.

Yes that's fine as long as you're able to pick up your body after you die.
