Even more crap for pvm since the firestorm disrupts zeal xD

I wouldn't use those together...Edeathz requires 60 ias from gear, gl getting that with only few open sockets.

Hello, so I noticed the lacking of zealot guides so I decided to share some knowledge on zealots to try and help out anyone new to the class or an experienced player wanting to try out another setup. I have been making zealots since .09 so I know quite a bit about them. I tried to include all of the builds that I felt were worth mentioning. There is no #1 zealot setup just some setups work better against a certain setup than another may. This is a guide on a gm melee Zealot which is a paladin that uses zeal as its main attack.


Skills

No matter what setup you decide to go with skills will always be the same.

Zeal
Fanaticism
Holy Shield
Defiance
Sacrifice (maxed at level 96)

Remaining points go into blessed aim for the 5% Bonus to Attack Rating per lvl.


Defiance should be maxed before Sacrifice, because the defense bonus from defiance is more important than the damage increase from Sacrifice.



Stats

Strength: On every setup you only put enough str in to use the gear and no more.

*Note: It is a good idea to find out how much str you need to put in before you start dumping points in, or else you may waste a lot of points.

Dexterity: On most setups you only put in enough dex to get max block.

Vitality: As much as you can spare goes in here.

Energy: Delete char and make a caster if you put points in here.




Setups

Finally the important part, the gear. A zealot can be a very expensive character to make so be prepared to spend some fg on one.
