Jabzon OR Zealer?

**rCt Arbitur** · 25-03-2009, 20:14

Im sorry for posting so much but i wonder what LLD build should i get if i choose between a level 18 Jabzon or a level 18 Zealer, which one is the best? i've got the jewels (1x 14 and x2 15 maxers) and some of the gear (15 max jool'd Twitch, angelics and so on) for a level 18 melee dueler but i dont know which one is the best of those two, i've got a clegs sword for a zealer but i haven't found a shield and wep for a jabzon, i once again apologize for posting so much

Which realm and ladder/non do you plan on playing in? I'm just curious.

18 zealer is pretty good and is about as common in pub LLD games as Hammerdins in HLD pubs. 18 Jabzon might be fun if you're into defensive/evasive builds, but I haven't seen any around where I hang so I cna't say anything for cetain. (West ladder)

Sorry if this doesn't help

Well i had a lvl 18 Zealer before but it had a ****ty helm and shield + the charms was so bad i should have thrown em away, now ive got lots of life and ar charms (i got lots of dmg charms but their req is 21+) some jewels and almost all gear except socketed helm and shield, im also reading on lld101 and im finding all kinds of cool/funbuilds but they dont look like they will survive in a pub game and they require to much advanced rares, i'd make a throw barb or a WW barb (lvl 30) if i found some positive feedback since theres no replys on the post that says that the build works good.

EDIT: Wow, i checked out lld101 and i found a build for a level 18 bowazon, i thought: what if i would get 50-55% critical strike, 1 pt dodge, 1 pt jab and rest in guided? wouldn't that be a good hybrid?

I wouldn't try for a hybrid simply because I doubt that you could hit anything with jab without more than 1 in Inner Sight against the various defensive builds that float around, unless you're dedicated to building it like Zangeif was with his 9 jab. Dude spent something like 3 years making that beast of a character.

Um, guided never misses? :P

and noone knows if zealers is better than a jabzon or bowa/jabzon?

EDIT: i've only seen 2 defensive chars in my life and those were level 9 and 12.

I never said anything about guided, I was talking about jab.

I don't know which would be since I haven't 18 dueled in about a year.

If 1pt jab and 1pt inner sight won't cut it for lvl 9, what makes you think it will for lvl 18?

What he means is that it won't work in general..
At lower levels you'd be better of pure javelin or pure bow.. I think..
Never seen a lvl 18 Hybrid..
I suggest getting some mana regen + block on switch to block incoming missiles etc..and regen ur mana.. get 1 point bolt.. to kill low life runners..
