i played around with the numbers a bit - seems to me forty wins out big times

basically for builds:
exile gives such a huge defense boost - can't choose any other shield
forti gives such a huge damage boost - can't use any other armor
highlords gives such a huge damage boost - can't use any other amu

didn't calc it all, but this is just from my gut feeling

from there it completes itself

actually shaftstop might be an option, hmm... little more to it than i thought

just did few calculations, it's close but forti wins out in the builds i just tried

now think about different matchups and inventory. 30def/20life scs, 36ar/20life, 3/20/20s, ar/lfie GC's, max/ar/life gcs. 24k ar 34k def forti SS, 26-28k ar 40-50k def exile shaft. now play with inventory and dump or pump def and or ar

using 36/20's atm, think only other option to consider are ar life gc's

actually with lifetap i think high ar might win out since you get more consistent lifetap procs with it. so low dmg high ar high def, in that case shaft + angelics would win

my shaft build currently (with which i'm playing around) has 49.6k def and 32k ar 4.2k life

life tap makes it kinda harder to math out, would need to simulate it :P i might do it if servers are down any longer :D

ye just wrote simulation :P as i thought - without considering lifetap procs forti hlords wins against shaft hsarus angelics, with lifetap shaft hsarus wins with like 51% :rofl: (didn't consider ow yet, will add that later :D , considered ds, cb, lifetap, dr, lifetap, ar, def, min dmg, max dmg, hp, max block for all builds, 4 4 4 4 8 zeal for both)

edit: if you give me those values (both using exile) for 2 different builds i can run them vs each other :D

ah no, correct formula :D

current best build in my simulation uses gface :D

so need to add uncapped cb dr, ow and target defense reduce to simulation, but now tired :P will do later

mucho mucho respect for playing tele zeal, such a fun build!. Also after new patch babas getting a nice ar boost via combat mastery change. And atm babas do very well but there will always be demi god zealots at the top. Fury needs to be looked at after patch and experimented heavily on. For jabber I would think theres a item/economy problem, gg rare javs are ultra rare since its new game still and shit ton of expensive stash swaps for different scenarios. Theres a guild MoS gaming or something running a very nice melee ladder, alrdy got 30 ppl on it. Good peeps lottah melee ppl out there in and out of the ladder


whats best tele zeal setup?
