Greetings:laugh: A couple of questions:

I'm currently playing as a holy lightning zealot, reached level 59 and act III Nightmare.
1) How should i spend my skill points from now on, holy lightning and resist lightning of course maxed already? I guess it's best to focus on being able to take down lightning immunes as well, but what's the best bet; fanaticism, holy freeze (which my merc has), or something else?
2) So far the game has been pretty easy, holy lightning doing the job quite smoothly, but right after the High Council in act III the game seems to shift dramaticly: in the Durance of Hate I'm close to dying in a matter of seconds, is this just how "it is supposed to be"? All my resistances are 80-90, decent armor and shield, and vitality ~110, what can I do to increase my survivability?
3) Any special gear I should be looking out for?
4) Geleb Flamefinger (I think...) does seem to have some kind of special attack that kills me just like... *poof* :undecided: I'm close to having full health, and then all of a sudden, "You have died.." What's the trick, do you have to avoid being close to him, or ..?
5) How important is the speed of a weapon? If one weapon does twice the damage as another, but the first one is very slow and the second is fast, and anything else being equal, what to choose then? And so on?

Thanks in advance for your time and advice :smiley: And don't mind the spelling errors etc.:azn:

I can answer a couple of those questions;
In regards to weapon speeds since a large propotion of your damage comes from your aura, a quicker weapon would definately be benficial.
If you play online your best bet to beat immunities would be a infinity polearm on your merc, which will give him conviction aura. In the mean time just try to maintain a high physical damage (with crushing blow ideally).
Also might be a supid question, but i assume your using zeal? If not you might want to consider it.

HOpe this helps

Fire enchanted explodes upon death. The damage is based on monster HP. It's same for those undead dolls in durance. I strongly recommend to turn on vigor and run.

Thank you. You're right, those pesky undead dolls are quite a challence, I've started to use your proposed "tactic" ;)

Yes I'm using zeal. With regards to the question about weapon speed I was mostly thinking about my merc, I'm not sure how much weapon speed matters, compared to average damage.

Get zeal. Any "one click one whack" skill is hard on the fingers and quickly gets boring. It also maximizes your damage, as more hits mean more aura activations.

If you get to act four, do your forge and get an Um, make a Crescent Moon.
It's freaking awesome for tesladins =)
