There is very little mention of life/mana leech in the guide. Why is that?

Thanks!

[LovelyGods]

Because the Guide is PVP not pvm, no need for life leetch.

[youll_the_grease]

I guess I am confused. Why is there no need for it in PvP?

It's been cut to the point of uselessness.

Just a couple questions. Very seriously considering a deadly striker. I have a pure smiter and got completly taken out by what seems a deadly striker.

He had this gear:
Shako
Shaftstop
StormShield
Gores
Tgods
Angelic AR setup
Draculs Grasp
Death Cleaver (Shaeled)

That stuff isn't to expensive and I dont think anyone killed him. I think Death Cleavers worth a fair bit. But just a question. Would Gimmer be any good, because of its elemental dmg. Also Stoutwood, I'd like to give you a duel so how you go. If your on US West Ladder.

Thanks

[Stoutwood]

If used correctly, Gimmers can be pretty nasty weapons. I wouldn't depend on them though, since elemental damage can be easily resisted. Still, the average zealot doesn't bother to get good resistances. By the way, I'm on USWEST non-ladder.

Two comments on this by now old guide:

2. DO NOT OPEN WITH A CHARGE! – Charge increases the opponent’s chance of Critical Striking you, reduces you chance to block, and you will probably miss him anyway. It’s not worth the risk.

While Charging, you're considered to be in an attack state, so full defense, full block chance, and certainly no increased chance of your opponent landing a Deadly Strike/Critical Hit on you.

<snip> and if you hit the Deadly Strike cap of 95%,<snip>

There is no cap on Deadly Strike. You'd be surprised to see how often I have to tell this.

OT:
Even though this is a PvP Zealot guide thread, I've still got a question:
While running around with my Clvl 54 Tesladin in a1 normal I noticed that non-chilled/frozen monsters could still be popped, by simply flashing Holy Freeze once. Then they would seemingly be tagged and have the 20% chance of popping. Shocking 50 or more cows with just standing near them and popping 10 or more of them looks really funny :lol:
Was this 'feature' of Holy Freeze already known in this forum?

Where can I find the information on that?
