frost zealot stats

[ceije]

hi all
Im going through the guides trying to get an idea of what stats to shoot for when i build my pally, the only answer i can seem to find is enough for gear or max block, well i dont have any gear.... I have a new account and no other chars, i dont imagine ill be trading any time soon hell i dont even know what the currencies are, so i guess im looking for a general idea that will compliment the gear i find as i go along... thnx

usually for any elemental zealots, things to look out for;

fast attack speed. thus, you need a weapon that's blazing fast so you can dish out more damage over time. here, shaels, jewels of fervor and a fast weapon type are things to look out for.

crushing blow. makes monsters with higher life go down even faster. complements your elemental damage nicely. for cheapness, crushflange mace is pretty easy to find, strength/black runewords, crafted blood gloves and more.. =)

Strength: Since you don't know what you'll be using yet, I'd suggest somewhere around 110. Might be a little more than needed, but it gives you a lot of options.

Dexterity: Find a shield with semi decent blocking (50+) and put enough points to get almost max block while holy shield is active (check your character screen; blocking is displayed when you hover over defense). That way, you'll be pretty close when you get a good shield.

Vitality: As much as possible.

Energy: None.


On a side note, don't enter Hell difficulty until you're really prepared. There's a huge jump between nightmare and hell.
