damage or defence?

[raphiel20]

i've just read the guides and i've decided on making a zealot. i was just wondering though which would be more useful in hell, the extra ed from maxing sacrafice or the extra defence from maxing defiance? :scratch:
i know i could use a defiance merc but i'd like to know which of the skills would be better for soloing.
thnx in advance :howdy:

Y not both?

20 Zeal
20 Sac
20 Hs
20fant
20 Defiance.

its possible.

u may want to max defiance before sacrifce so u get the defnese but its very possible. But be prepared for lvl 90+ in order to get this.

Should be level 96 assuming you don't put any points into any other skills except prerequisites and target skills.

[Pravda]

If you plan on only doing pvm, 20 points in defiance isn't needed. Just put on a lot of life leech gear and put one in vengeance and, if you want, a few in conviction.

~~ go for both, just put excess skills into defiance. that way, when you level, your damage is still great, but your defense goes up!! ;)

:evil: Raggy :evil:

does defiance give a passive bonus to def that i don't know about?

yes to your holy shield a certain % for each pt...

My zealot pwns and is lvl 90
He has max sac/zeal/fanat/holyshield/ and like 14 in defiance

[raphiel20]

well thankyou for the advice the reason i had asked one or the other was because i averagly only get my chars up to the low-mid 80's.
I think i'll put all my extra skils into defiance now seeing as his gonna be loaded with ll anyway. again thankyou
