What is the best stuff?

I take it that you are looking for a zealer for public games / fpk (didn't see 'gm melee')?
Or did you intend to look for a gm melee vs melee?

melee vs melee

depends on your budget... basically you want to reach 25++k ar, 25++k def, 50dr, highest zeal speed, 4+k life with as much ds/cb as possible.

top & most expensive build would look like that:

rare Legenday Mallet eth rep 40ias fools high ed 2s (LoLo or jewel+Lo)
rare Diadem 2pala visio stats 2s (ias/ed)
rare Sacred Armor eth rep high def mods 2s (ed/ar/str/dex or ias/ed)
Stormshield (ias/ed I guess)
Steelrend
Gore
Verdungo
Raven + ar str dex life ring
Highlord

Cta +3hs + HoZ on swap

Torch+Anni
37x 322s (or some kind of mix of your liking)


other (cheaper options):

- 1s rare fools weapon in a possibly faster base than legendary mallet to free up jewel/rune slots in other gear pieces (with mallet you kinda have to ias/ed everything)
- non-fools weapons combined with Guillaume's and Angelic set (eBotdz, eDeath Cleaver, eHeaven's Light...)
- eth upg Shaftstop + Alma Negra (instead of rare armor + stormshield)
- in case you need ias from gloves, rare high def ias stats gloves or crafted high def ias cb stats gloves can be used

Thx for explain

n more opinions

how many ias do i need?

use this calculator to find out how much ias you need: https://d2.lc/IAS/
(you want to reach to highest/fastest breakpoint regardless of the weapon base)

otherwise you can have a look at this guide here: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=32187727&f=87
it's great and comprehensive but the builds described there are quite old school and a bit underwhelming compared to today's builds.
