nice guide ofc, very detailed.

but i personally wouldn't do zealot for pvm cause i see better pvm melee options: fury druid, frenzy barb; but thats personal preference ofc.

according to some calculation i did a while back
fanazealot has the second highest dps of any melee build
only ww barb is better if you assume you are constantly in range

the fury druid is like a fanazelaot only that the fury druid has no block, more problems with resistances and more life, damagewise they are pretty much the same (even though you need special gear to get as much ds/cb on a fury druid as on a zealot)
the fury druid has somewhat more problems with IM and the PI monsters because he does not really have any skills himself that can deal with PI monsters in an effective way

the frenzy is also much like the fanazealot damagewise, only the tactics are different

I simply like all types of melees, wether physical or elemental ones

@ majinkaisa
I would say that a death ba AD build is stronger than a dualgrief whirler
if ad is triggered constantly

yeah, that's a big IFF on the AD, atmas doesn't trigger as often as i think it should and the radius is pretty low for a melee build (range with pierce is a different story)

i like all melees too, but i feer that 1.13 will ruin that because there won't be IM, it may expand melee players to those lazy caster folk who didnt want to die to IM, but us who relish the challenge will likely be disappointed.

the only reason i dont play a zealot more is that the LMB attack becomes intensive

I doubt actually that zealot dps > fury dps. If you do not consider CB and take 4frame speed weapon like eth tomb reaver then fury dmg will be better. If i am not wrong i made fury druid with etomb and might merc with pride (i know it sux, just for dmg) and heart of wolverine and max damage was something like 20k if not more.



yeah i agree fury pretty much the same as zealot, but as i said damage of fury is higher, i thing a lot higher (with 2-handed and heart of wolverine). But yeah it got his disadvantages too.

what about frenzy - he is much better mf'er than both zealot and fury imo.
