Alternative Zealot Gear

[Klæmint Vágadal]

Hi, I am making a "budged" Zealot (Mainly for Ubers), and I have a few questions since its my first Zealot (I have tryed search but did not really find the answers). How much IAS% do i need to hit the last zeal frame? His gear is:

"Smoke" RW - Will be Duress or some other
Cant remeber helm - Will be Guiliams Face
Aldurs Weapond - Cant really decide here, Heavens Might or other?
Gore Riders
IK gloves - 25 IAS
IK belt
Some crappy rare sheild - Will be HoZ or Alama Negra
Magic rings and Amy, Will be High Lords + Raven + Life Leech

The question is, do I really need Draculs? I was thinking about using a ED% jewl in the weapond + Shael (If the wp is going to be Heavens Might), so I still hit the famous zeal break point. But will my life leech be too low? And is Life Tap a must? I dont think you can leech from bosses..?

How doses Alam Negra (High ED%) and Heavnes Might with 2 ED% jewels sound on switch for smiting?

Since I cant't edit, I must just post.

I just bought a 338ed% / 15 Magic Absorb "Oath" RW in a Cryptic Sword for Um + low Draculs, so that will be the wepond I will be using I guess. Was it a good trade? I think so.

It was a sweet trade imo.

Double post due to techinical problems*

You con't leech from bosses… unless you have life tap. In order to do well in uber tristram with a melee character, you really do need to have some way of casting life tap, whether it's by partying with necromancer, charges on switch, or by using Drac's.

I think I will be using Draculs for the Life Tap. But can someone tell me how high IAS% must be to hit the famous break point?

Skinhead; I will be doing solo runs mainly
