You can create GIF made of 10-15 screenshots in photoshop in about 2 minutes :D

I love this. I would like to offer a piece of advice because I always loved the idea of making a viable fanaticism zealer on classic but everyone always said it was impossible, so I did it. (I play HC classic single player and use a program to transfer items between characters, but alas)

My HC classic zealer is currently level 62 in act1 hell and I’ve discovered a few things that are worth mentioning.

*while battle hammers have the best one handed damage in the game, their attack speed and most importantly lack of range are both not ideal for zeal. I tried using a nice dual leech battle hammer that I have for a while, but the lack of range would often cause me to make single strikes instead of zealing, and I would often have to reposition myself closer to the enemy in order to zeal. Very annoying.

So I did some experimenting and found that some of the best weapons that have the desired range include : Nagas, Dimensional Blades, Rune Swords, and Divine Scepters.

I determined that the best of the three was in fact the Divine scepter. It has the range, it has the attack speed, and it can get a LOT of desirable mods (like Ignores Targets Defense, for one)

Another thing worth noting is that it is absolutely essential that you find Goblin Toes. The rest of the gear is entirely up to you, but GToes make all the difference in damage output.

Thanks! And yeah Stallone is correct, I take a SS of each item individually and then just paste them into Photoshop and spit out a quick GIF :D

Yeah I actually swapped out the BH for a 3OS War Sword, mostly for the attack speed. I lost a little bit of damage but IMO it was well worth the trade off. But thanks for the info brother! Having fun going through it.
