Idea for a New Paladin build - Holygunner

[ReCo]

1.11 runewords are not amazing, there are some usefull but most of them are crappy; especially paladin armor

principle: RAL GUL ELD
100% Chance To Cast Level 5 Holy Bolt On Striking
+2 To Paladin Skill Levels
15% Slower Stamina Drain
+5% To Maximum Poison Resist
Fire Resist +30%

with ZEAL you can fire holy bolts like a machine gun; you can synergize them so you will be dealing ~1k holy bolt damage per strike

distribution of skill points:
20 fist of heaven (synergy)
20 blessed hammer (synergy)
some points in zeal

what do you think about the idea? what other skills should be used ? did anyone try this kind of build?

I made a couple of principle armors non ladder,gave one to my hammerdin together with a passion runeword for fun. Lots of fireworks,not much damage. In a real zealot things would be better,but my suggestion is try this only non ladder,where gul runes are very very cheap. Don't waste a ladder gul rune in the impossible crap called "principle" runeword.

even though (in theory) it sounds really sweet, BUT, holy bolt only does damage to undead, so, that doesn't really affect most of the monster that you'll be going after

... maybe a sweet pindle runner w/ that would be good, but i just dont see the use of it besides a, "hey, look what kinda pally i have" build

imho, it looks fun, but won't be very affective
