Zealot Help

[Tracker]

I play HCL US East and I want a heavy melee paladin and so I went with the Zealot. The guide on the forum says to go:


20 Zeal (main attack)

20 Sacrifice (synergy)

20 Fanaticism (main aura)

20 Holy Shield (not necessary to max but I think it's definitely worth 20 points since it can give you monstrous defense these days)

I would rather go with something besides Holy Shield, but stay melee.

Was thinking about trading Holy Shield For Salvation.

I don't know if I'd max Salvation. . .as you only really need a few points in it if you're not an elemental Zealot.

I think you'd best be served with the Holy Shield. . . but it you really don't want it, then I'd think that Redemption and Cleansing should probably get some points- and believe it or not. . .Sanctuary. I've played Fanatic Zealots plenty and boy do they hit the wall hard in hell. Sanctuary will save your hide against the undead in hell- even better potentially than the Fanaticism Aura.

Trading HS for anything = bad idea. HS is one of the great strengths of a Paladin. The defense it gives is unmatched. Max HS and pump into Defiance (HS synergy). 1 pt wonders work for salvation and conviction.
