Desperate zealot needs help

[Ian McCulloch]

Ok, the guy is a lvl 87 PvP ->(at least I`m trying to) zealot. Before I lose my patience and forever retire him, I`ll appreciate if you guys post any suggestions/comments/hints.

Setup is:
BerBer CoA
Stone 1711 def
Ebotd zerk 379%
clean Alma Negra 45% Ar / 68% ed
Steelrends 41%ed
Gores
Angelics (ring/ring/ammy)
Dungos 14% DR.
Hoz on switch for Hshield prebuffing.

Life/AR charms and a low anny on Inventory.

With this I do 2031-6286 Dam, 15946 AR (kinda sucks) and 19784 def (with Hshield!). Life is 1667.

My base stats: 120 Str, 122 Dex and 268 Vit.

20 Sacrifice (24 items), 20 Fanat (24 items), 20 Hshield (24 items), 15 Zeal points (18 with items) and only 7 into Defiance (11 with items). Also got 7 into Charge (11 with items) and 1 Salvation's.

My quests:
1) What should I do to boost AR AND defense without Exile? Should I use enchant, IK gloves and something else to do it? (see below)

2) Right now I`m lvl 87 and assuming I have the patience to go til 92, I`d get a few more stat/skill points, so I`m thinking about puting all these remaining stats into DEX and skills into Defiance... Is it a good idea? Or is better go into 20 Zeal ?

3) Or is the problem all about my gear? (suggestions are wellcome)

4) Or should I forget about this poor guy, definately retire him and remake a new one? (Of course my last option, let`s give him a chance)

Sorry for bad english, and PLZ, bring your suggestions!

Thx alot,
Ian (acc: flaviovv / USEast nl )

I think you should go 20 Zeal, the AR boost definitely helps.... also, the 7 points in Charge seem to be somewhat of a waste, but I suppose you could make it work.

Your gear looks fine, and your stats are pretty clean cut & average.

Maybe we can help you a bit if you tell us where you are having problems? {like dueling vrs specific class's / builds}. Sometimes a simple lack of a strategy or known fact vrs a build your dueling can lead to one less ear.

Your stats are surprisingly low considering your gear, stat point and skill point allocation. Perhaps you do not have a full inventory of charms? Your Stone is also rather low grade, I would suggest rerolling it. I think those 6 extra points in charge are your problem as well. They would add a lot to defense and AR. I have always found 1 point in charge to be more than sufficient.

Ty man, but I live in Brazil and posted it before went to bed. :sleep:

Basic, my problems are low AR and defense. Most for ZxZ and mellee duels.

I have my inventory full, most Life/AR charms and some resists charms. Yea, I know my stone sucks, so considering my setup would you recommend a higher Stone or a different armor (Eth Valor, Levi etc.)?

So, in my case, u recommend putting the rest of the points into Zeal or Defiance? And stat points? DEX or VIT? (6 skill points/30 stat points)

Let`s save the zealot. Thanks alot,
Ian

I would suggest either getting an Eth Valor or better Stone and Cham'ing your Alma, or getting an Eth Gladiator's Bane and throwing a Ber in the Alma. The latter would probably be the best option.

Yes, definately put the skill points into zeal and defiance next time around. Also your stat points are fine. Just make sure to put all the rest into VIT.

Ok, I'll do this. Thanks, Stoutwood.
