Beast or Stormlash?

[AieAlienz]

I am making a frost zealot and i was wondering which would be more effective in pvm/pvp. I cannot choose between the crushing blow of the stormlash or the lvl 9 fanaticism(dont know if that is spelled right) on the beast. Which do you guys prefer? Crushing blow or fanaticism? :scratch:

Well, since you can get the CB from another source on your gear (hopefully) while the fanat can only come from Beast or the actual skill, go with the Beast for the Fanat.

Is there a armor that gives crushing blow? Cant remember of any. :scratch:

Rattlecage does I believe, but its a bad armor. IMO, get CB from either a Guilaume's Face, Gore Rider or from crafted Blood Gloves.

Why dont' you post your build/gear so the forum can help you better?

well.....stormlash is awesome for speed, but then again fantasism is also pretty tight......
in price stormlash<beast

crushing blow rules tho. Take the ber that you'd use in the beast and put it into the stormlash. Then you'll have 53 cb...and with some good gloves and boots you'll end up with a TUN of cb.

Stormlash have much more then just speed and CB... its static field on impact. Basically it give you very nasty AE attack that cannt be underestimated. You can also try cresent moon rune word for same effects CB+Static

Go with the stormlash. by its self it will have a 6 fps zeal. With just a sheal rune you will have 5 fps zeal. If you wanted to go faster you will have to use a phase blade. Attacking at those speeds plus static and crushing blow is a sweet ideal. And since you are making a frost zealot, why use a weapon with fant on it. You are not going to get a large amount of any thing with it 29% ias, 80% attack rating, and 186% more damage. Comparied to a level 20 fant 35% ias, 135% attack rating, and 373% more damage. That left at its base it is still a pain to hit some monsters. Honestly stick to the stormlash. You should think about this as well. Hand of Justice Phase blade you only need 42% more ias to get to 4fps zeal, you do not need attack ratting, and you will be doing fire damage and ice damage per hit since you will most likly be adding to salvation then it will be helping bolth aruas.

Imf it do ... I am using stormlash on my furysin and tornado's practically litter whole screen then I am in attack mode, same for static hits (you can even hear that if you have sound "on"). Furysin have fixed 8FPA but zelot is faster then that so expect storm cast even more
