Welcome to my Zeusadin Build!
Many google and YouTube searches have not led me to any real discussion on this exact build. It seems to be only explored in theory a few times, but I put it together an it is extremely awesome.
This is a Fist of Heavens / Double Dream Holy Shock aura hybrid.
The beauty is, the two builds synergize extremely well.
They both take big advantage of conviction aura. They both don’t need the player to be in harms way. And they both are enjoyable on their own. Combining the two makes for a sick build that has yet to be tapped into. Until now.
Skills:
20 into Fist of Heavens
20 into Holy Bolt (FoH synergy)
20 into Holy Shock (FoH synergy)
10 into conviction aura (+ skills brings to 25 which is max -150 res)
20 into Resist Lightning (Holy Shock Synergy, also +10 max lit res)
That will bring you to level 92.
The rest of the points from there can go into Salvation which is the other Holy shock synergy.
Gear:
As always, there are options here, here is my setup which is what I believe is the best way to go.
Weapon: 5x 5/5 light facet Scepter with +3 Fist of Heavens and +3 Conviction
Shield: Dream Sacred Targe, with max +65 @res
Helm: Dream Diadem (can go BV) with +20 @res
Armor: Enigma, of course
Gloves: Magefist
Belt: Arach
Boots: Waterwalks
Rings: 2x BK ring, or 1 Ravenfrost if that’s your thing
Ammy: +30 Mara’s
Charms: Anni, Torch, 8x Pally Combat GC with life, 9x 20 life sc
Weapon switch: 6bo CTA in pally scepter with +redemption and +vigor
Shield switch: any pally spirit with 35 fcr is fine.
Stats:
Enough points into Dex for Max Block
Everything else into Vit.
Charms/Gear gives you enough strength to use all gear.
This will leave you with 75 cold and poison res, 80 fire res and 85 light res. I have well over 4k health.
Merc: A2 Might merc with Insight Eth polearm, eth Andy’s or vgaze is fine, and Fort armor.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is rather simple yet very fun.
You teleport around freely, which hits 75% FCR breakpoint on weapon swap. Swap back prior to attacking
You do massive lightning damage with your Dream equipped holy shock aura. The mobs in frigid highlands die from 2-3 pulses.
You also do massive damage from your fist of heavens. My tooltip says 6.2k-7K. This does not factor in conviction aura which lowers enemy resistance by 150%.
Once a pack of mobs is cleared, you can weapon swap back which equips your redemption aura which will give you any lost health/mana back, although you rarely lose any of either. Vigor on swap can also be used to give you a great speed boost.
Since FoH has a small cooldown, and we do hit the 40% breakpoint for it, you can weave in 1 holy bolt between each FoH to maximize damage, especially against bosses. Bosses seem to die at the same speed as a Hammerdin might do.
A lightning sunder charm can come in handy at times. It is also useful to have vengeance on your toolbar, to help against lightning immune if you do not carry a sunder. My Vengance tooltab reads 300-10,000 damage, and that is with a weapon that does 16-38 damage.
Thats pretty much it, let me know if you have any questions about the Zeusadin!
