Okay, since you obviously know nothing about zealots that won't bother me.



Blessed Aim is far more important than Defiance priority wise. Any decent zealot player will tell you this.

Botd? Worst weapon ever?

a good fool's ba will outclass a botd in every way. Attack rating is much more important than damage is.

High defense and attack rating are what zealots are all about, without attack rating your just a wall.

The loss of the damage from botd can be easily made up for with deadly strike ( 2xLo in weapon + highlords )

Now I'm curious as to what brought you to use shitty botd over a fool's weapon. Explain.

That would be sweet I think, nice guide Brad, I think it deserves to be sticky'd in place of one of those stupid spammerdin guides.

Spammerdins are like the druids who sit in town casting bear... just because you can kill people with little effort, you're still not a dueler.

Botd, edc and fools are the three best weps to use in gm melee so no botd is not the worst weapon ever.

Blessed aim > defiance is not very smart, since your defense will be much lower so have fun with that.

I know fools are gg, but I just listed the basic setups for each option and in most cases that's either ebotdz or an edc.

No your defense won't be -much- lower, it will lower by maybe 4k, where as having 100% more attack rating would be much more beneficial.

If it's ZvZ then going Blessed Aim would be better, having more ar than the other player will always turn out in your favor. If you hit more than them then you will kill them first.

I never said I wasn't going to max defiance. AFAIK. I don't find botd all that useful at all seeing as how all it brings is damage, and possibly 30 stats (though thats was overrated). And a character solely based on damage will not win in a gm melee duel.

Well, the skill section I listed is the best way to build a zealot and is the way every good zealot does. You can max blessed aim if you want and if it works for you than thats fine. Ebotdz is a good wep, I know very good zealots who use ebotdz as their main wep and can beat a lot of other zealots no problem.

Yeah that would work too, but I would probably just take a regular 6 bo cta for the life increase.
