Finally my Non-tap setup. I can consistently beat conc barbs with this, but for some reason fury druids destroy me in seconds. Maybe I need to duel them more :(.

Don't use that setup vs fury druids. Fury druids shouldn't be an issue at all in the right setup and for them you don't need to worry about ar at all. The most popular anti fury setup is this

40/15 guili
highlords
botd
eprud
40/15 ss
ravens
upd gores
steelrends

37x 32020s

I used a diff setup vs them and it never failed but I don't really share that one :) .

Ok, my new budget zealer builds. (Budget, as in total cost was under 3000fg)  Keep in mind, using a mix of 120ar/38 life GCs, 9max/60ar/35life GCs, 2/20/18scs, and 34ar/17life scs.

First up is my fortitude build!  Works well enough for me against 55kdef opponents.

This is my Visionary Setup.  I use a EDC with a highlords for 100%ds and the 20ias req, and upped waterwalks for boots.

Here's my prudence setup.  Yes I know it's supposed to be bad, but it works really well for me against BOTD users.

I'll try the shako build when I find some decent IAS gloves.  Trying to find the best setup for me without upgrading my charms, good charms are expensive!!!


Hey looks good for the amount of fg you spent. And yes charms can get very expensive.

Had to rush a quick response since have to leave for work but i'll look over it some more when I get home.

Sweet thanks! Looking forward to whatever else you have to add. I'll definitely look into the fury druid fix.

What are the stats on your visionary? +2 pally skill w/ stats/life berd? Waterwalks are nice for the life boost but I always liked war travs for the added damage + life when I didn't need ds. Prudence isn't a bad setup really it does well vs low ar setups since it has high def. What type of shaft is that?

Oh I meant fort lol. And you'd prob do better with the vis I mentioned since you don't need a 2 soc vis. So you'd get more dmg/ar and about the same overall def as you have now since it would be another +2 to hs. Then you could cham/ber that one and use it when you switch to angelics setup.

Depends on the other mods of the ds vis. 1 socket visionaries don't work to well so wouldn't go with 3. Hgih def visionaries are nice if it has other mods too. Or just get a cham shako and call it a day :) .
