Which combo is better for my zealot?

[chien]

OK, 2 otpions here:
1. Oath eth warspike (only 245% ED :( ) + Marrowwalk => so, with oath rune word and fana aura, i'm at 4 fps attack without any IAS. Less physical damage, but with 30% chance to trigger lvl20 bs with synergy (~1.1k magic damage).

2. Death cleaver+ Highlord ammy => More physical damage when deadly strike kicks in (at lvl70, deadly strike is at 66%+0.375%x70 = 92.25%). Need shael the death cleaver to hit 4 fps attack.

any suggestion?

Thanks!

Bummer roll on the oath(245), don't overlook prevent monster heal and magic absorb on it though. Although you'll get better life leach with the DC. Does the bone spirit animation slow down your connection?

yeah, I got bad luck for 245% ED :( Lol, at least , the eth mode make up a little bit. The animation of BS looks ok to me. Better than Holybolt animation from LOH,though. So far, my max damage is around 2.6K. Not good but acceptable in 1-2 player hell game. I got huge life leech from Crown of Theif,though.

What aura you are using? Fana? If its Fana dont need "shael" on DCleaver- 40ias from DCleaver +20 ias from Highlord ammy= 60%IAS- you dont need any extra IAS for 4 FPS Zeal

Yes, I am using fana. Thanks for the reminder. just check , the bp it 58% IAS for 4fps. NOw, the question is , for DCleaver/highlord combo, it is more pure physical damage. With Oath/marrowwalk combo, you got 30% chance to add ~1.1k magic damage. Both look good,though. About other suggestions, yeah, i'd like to have those high runes to make pride, fortitude, and exile :D

For PvM Personaly i'm using DC/HL ammy + rare ring (with AR,life lich,res l/psn,+40 life) and raven+draculs+Hsarus combo+CoA+ Zaka Shield+StoneArm(2019 def :)) and i have 75%res all and my lightning res is around 150+% (this realy help with those f... BSouls in act 5, FHR help too). Whith life tap from draculs only I can survive even in 8 player BR games in the middle of heat. I never drink HP on DClone too (using first CtA on Phase for prevent heal, and yes i dont have Hammerdin for DClone:))
So...I think you dont need more +% life tap :)

DC + highlords is great!

Oath + highlords dont yet! Must try that!

Stormlash + highlords is a very nice combo otherwise! Socketing stormlash with nice runes (not shael) u can get more DS, CB, less % to defense!

You do mean Oath+marrow ,right?

I'd like to get stormlash if I can. I'll try DC/Highlord combo first :). Thanks for all the suggestions..

If this is for PvM, then i would take the Oath over the DC simply because the durability on the DC sucks.. with a 4fps zeal you're going to be running to town to repair every 5 mins.

Just a thought...
