So I made a Gris zealot socketed with 12 x 5/5 Lite Facets

Skilled him as 20 pt zealot and the rest into holy shock, resist lite, salvation and Hs

He did 2-22k zeal damage
And 1-2K aura pulses

And he has -60 Light Res and -85 Light Res from infinity (-145)

The pulse aura was actually fucking shit up in solo games worldstone. 1-3 pulses takes out all non unique monsters!

So how do you think a dual dream set up would work?

Maybe use Gris wpn and armor and add 7xfacets? Or even just a plain pb and 4s armor for 10x...

If I coupled that with conviction I’d have lvl 30 Hs, fully synergized with -50/+50 from gear and -125 from conviction (-175)...

So, I’d have -30 more elr but 10 less lite damage....

What do y’all think?

I have holy freeze paladin with full Gris and full cold facets and it's one of my most favorite toons to play.

In ur case, u will be losing 2 slots - helm and shield and I don't think it's worth it.

I also have dreamdin with dream helm/shield but other slots I don't fill with gris. He has more normal setup with enigma, grief PB and etc and normal mobs get melted quickly from holy shock.

a holy shock auradin can use a holy freeze a2 merc with infinity and effectively have the same slow aoe effect as a holy frost build, but more damage and of a far better type with breakable immunes

gris set is nice budget setup. but for both dreamer and holy shocker there are better items.
a perfectly equipped holy shocker is a bit better in terms of dps than a perfectly equipped dreamer but a dreamer is probably one of the safest chars you can make because of confuse.

Dual dream grief self fana gives you a ton of physical dmg while self holyshock grisweapon doesnt.
You will trade a little shock dmg and -res for physical dmg (=leech)

Dual dream gris caddy is probably a middle thing between the two mentioned.
