Elemental damage charms question

[mortic]

Are there zealots (or other chars) effectively using full inventory of shocking/flaming/hibernal scs of vita? I remembered, in 1.09 patch, a "blank" paladin could become a formidable zealot with a full inventory of these charms.

[Stoutwood]

The problem is the difficulty in getting these charms. The only people I know with full inventories don't play zealots anymore.

Other potential problems.

lack of ar
lack of elemental damage.


and Mike has 40 x flaming sc of vita. mike aka Rated X.

its on one of his mules, but i dont think it will work.

only option is to somehow....if you do go with elemental, is to Pick ONE elemental and try to get as much damage / - resist as possible. while still keeping a good solid zealot build.

IE:: Nightwings with Facet if you use a Total Cold zealot ( still using fant) then maybe use a sort of a physical/ cold hybrid.... Or since ds doesn't work with elements.. use a Runemaster Eth. Zod facet facet facet facet for -20/20. then use a facet where ever you can. Possibly use SS with facet. Nightwings with the facet. Armor ...erm....what armor adds cold damage or...resist lost....

Rings, Angelics all the way... your ar will be quite low... infact you may even need hsarus + angelics.

One of my insane ideas was to make a Fire pala similar to this. But possibly use holyfire aura....still unsure on how to do that.

EDIT:: this might even be a good time to break out the ROBO axes... you know.. 6 skt Eth Zerk with Zod and 5 facets....since with max fant they only require 60ias, that shouldn't be too big a problem. But i think the main thing would be to chop your enemy's resist and obtain high elemtanl..

what is high elemntal? im gonna guess at it but...5-6k i Think would be high. But this would work if you could somehow conviction + your specific element...sorta like a conivition zealot....instead of zerk, you phase..but with phase you could......6 x facet it..+30-30.

Well if you had 39 perfect Flaming SC's of vita, you'd have
Min: 741
Max: 1131
Fire damage. Its nice to have, but add on some resists and 75%+ of that damage would be resisted. I know a lot of zealers don't worry aobut resists so it could work, depending on a few things.

Elemental damage from charms goes through the pvp penalty right?

In 1.09, the elemental zealot used conviction as the aura of choice. This got through the resists. They just needed enough gear to hit a high fpa zeal.

[sizgar]

in 09 90% of my inventory were flaming / hibernal of vita / balance
they werent perfect of 'coz but close to it. i was playing only power zealot with cruel / fury scourge concetration based pally and the best thing was that when i equipped cruelPB of evis i could still swing with 4fpa being under HF. the best zealot ever
ehmmmm not offensive but only lame stacker could beat me up
anyway in 1.10 there are couple problems using elemental dmg charms since cup for physical dmg = 50% in pvp so there is no sence to use such charms as long as u can get 75 % resist or even more
the second thing is elemental zealot works fine in hell dificulty not too bad in nightmare and he does like drunken cow in norm game
the next is :
conviction, im not sure if that thing is still on or is fixed but higher lvl convi was "switching off" lower lvl convi so u have to choose having elemental dmg charms or skillers for sure ur convi is usefull. convi - the only good thing is lower resist nothing more but u can always get ur resists up so in my opinion its not worth in pvp
