Zeal question, dexterity question

[hegel4]

Hi all. I have been enjoing reading your posts over last few months. I am new to the game and have some questions about zeal/ sacrifise paladin synergies.

If you were to spend only 20 points into those two skills, how would you alocate your points to get the most zeal damage?

Without shield and a weapon what items would you suggest for most +dexterity and at the same time cold/ lightning resistance?

Thank you very much for any help you might offer me concerning these questions. :wave:

Am I posting in a wrong forum!

You can ask this question here, but I guess the chances to find somebody who knows the answer are greater if you ask this in the paladin forum.

Haven't done any maths, but:

Sacrifice gives Zeal 12%damage per level.
Zeal, starting from lvl5 gives 6% per level boost to damage, so my answer would be:

Anything that gets you up to Zeal 5, whether its base skills or + skill items, then rest in sacrifice.

Optimal: 1zeal, 20sacrifice
No +skills: 5zeal, 15 sacrifice

i didnt check it again but zeal skill adds attackrating% which is to consider aswell.

it is essential to hit monsters rather then to have the highest available damage while u never hit. though there are items available (also rares) that give hughe bonus to attackrating. this said i would do it like it was suggested before.

for your dexterity issue. u might have to tell why u try to do this then u could get a better answer aswell.

in general the ravenfrost ring can have up to +20dex, 20% cold absorb and a lot attackrating plus the very important mod cannotbefrozen for melee chars.
