i m making a LLD zealer currently lvl 18 but planning to stop at 29 with my friend

Gear:
General Tandoliga
SBack Hold
Twitch
Cleclaw Glove
Death Belt
goblin toe
angelic ammy
angelic ring
manald
3 pruby helmet

45 str
33 dex
rest vit
base energy

will have
10 holy freeze
10 zeal
10 sacrifice
if any more will probably invest in holy freeze

you think this is a good build for LLD?
edit>>> any suggested gear/skills will be welcome

[squiggle]

I've never tried a build like that or one that i'm going to mention but in my head it works =] Going of your gear/build


Gear

Generals tan do gi la
Sback
Twitch
Death Belt
Death gloves
2x Ang. Rings
Angelic ammy

Sigon helm/boots
or
3Pruby mask and ? boots.


I'd go with more physical dmg and just go with using Holy Freeze for the slow.

(After + skills)

4 holy freeze
4 zeal
1 smite
1 charge
1 HolySheild
Rest to sacrafice.

You'll have max slow target and 50% open wounds. Your physical dmg wont be the highest but enough to kill most. (Should be 132 zeal dmg without hell rush.)

I'm tempted to make this myself, Just to see how it goes.


Sorry thats all the help i can be, Without it being tested =/

Let me know how it goes.
With this you'll have max slow, R

That type of build (holyfreeze/slowdown) lld zealer is very effective, however a smiter with the same type of build is about 10 times more effective. I have a lvl25 smiter that uses generals+holyfreeze, and no zealer has ever come even close to beating him. The slowdown smiter is the ultimate for killing fc zons. Zeal on the other hand has the issue of being blocked/dodged.

Personally I would suggest using a bhammer instead of generals for zeal. Holyfreeze gives enough slowdown to do the trick vs opponents that will be effected by slowdown. You should probably also use charge as a secondary. Charge is always handy for a zealer, and can be very potent with just one point.

Oh and you should also have a res shield or two to backup (like a 3 psaphire shield) because you don't look like you have very much resistance.

[fledgeling]

the damage on tandoliga is quite low, so perhaps you should get more cold damge from the aura (instead of 10 zeal + 10 synergy)

you could also try to calculate your damage with cleglaw's sword for example
(not to mention a -req bh, but bh's are too slow for zeal)

on the other hand tandoliga gives the slow..

sig requires too much str and i m planning to leave it at 50 at most
so i might just put more on sacrifice but a few on holy freeze for min dmg

the whole point of making this LLD is for slow downs so general will be my main weapon and won't switching maybe i will switch to resist shield when dueling sorcs

question:
is 50% slow down max? cuz cleclaw gloves give 25% as well

You are using a low damage shield and weapon. If you're going to go pure zeal, find a 30IAS Battle Hammer with decent damage. If you're going to smite, get a barbed shield for a lot more damage. Combine the two and you can do a lot more damage.

I asked this question in the statistics forum before posting my original answer.

The cap on attack speed is 90% and the cap on Movement speed is 75%

This explains is a bit in depth, but Generals + Clegs will stack IIRC.

Heh, u could always do what i did, make a smite/charger. I currently have a 20ias 70dmg divine sceptor with +1 holy freeze and +1 charge. Mated with sig belt/gloves and twitch it gets 5 frame smite (aka very very fast), it uses gtoes for that all important crushing blow, uses a life death mask, angelic rings + ammy and a 30/20 8dtm barbed sheild.

His skill layout is:
20 Might (charge synergy and nb aura for smite dmg)
5 Smite
6 Holy Sheild

He is lvl 29 and has a mid nm rush (i hate smite so i just didnt care -.-), tho this is of course a more speed smite setup, not a slower. If u put some on zeal aswell u would have a very amusing hybrid

[sickobanza]

nah imma stay in norm anyways no rush
i might put 1 on charge just for running but will still be full zealer
