Looking to make a zealer. Iso a guide. Or discord

Thank you!

talk to ’s son, he’s a melee regard

Thank you for summoning me and the complement

First thing you wanna do is max smite. Zeal is gay and I’ll prove it. Zeal has this thing called “attack raTing.” Attack rating basically means if you have $100,000, instead of cocaine n bitches n child support payments, you have to buy a weapon that still loses to a weapon you can make with a rune you can trade your socket quest for (sauce =https://youtu.be/DZiolE7E7Ew?si=2PsEQA4PuOoip-fF)

This is an entirely undesirable % chance to hit some irl meow meow vs % time engaged in the grasp of another man’s firm left click.

Next you want to max fanaticism

Lol seems like you can't afford to play melee, nice blue star next to your name though
Get over it bro, stop buying fg and go touch grass

Op don't hesitate to pm me
Need lvl95, max zeal / sacrifice / holy shield / fanaticism / defiance and left overs after lvl95 go into blessed aim for the passive bonus to ar

Then dext to max block, str for gear leftovers into vita

Builds are different for every matchups but basically classic build looks like

Blood helm with visionary life + defense and 2sox
Highlord + 2 raven OR triple angelic
Fortitude Sacred armor 15ed 1.5life
Perf stormshield
40/15 dungo
Gore
Steelrends or blood gloves with 20ias and Str/dex/defense

Weapon can be plenty
Botd zerker 410+ed and Eth Death cleaver 270+ed are very cheap/affordable and top high end options

Ofc inventory is as close as possible as 37* 32020
But a set of 120+ar / 40+life will work to get you started

Don't hesitate to pm me

triggered

melee is for the severely handicapped and/or aging d2 players with arthritic joints who struggle to play beyond holding left click

Yeah lol
I just don't understand why people don't like it
You should try it's honestly kinda fun

I hear you it's less about skills and more about gear, but i've never put any usd or any money into it and I can still manage only with the few fgs i've made by mf'ing and trading. I'm not winning tournaments or whatever but i'm still having fun

Don't be ass and try to tell people to avoid melee
Just agreed on the fact you don't like it and keep going mate

And people says in melee you gotta be rich but that's a fcking joke, those people who says that are the ones putting 50k+ fg into a 2/20/30 2sox helms
I can assure you that with 50k you can have a decent weapon

Yeah I made some money off gas and wouldn't mind investing in a decent pvp build

i don’t think d2 gear is considered an investment
