Paladin Zealer - Lets Conversate.

[SyCoMiDgEt]

Hello all, and thanks for viewing this. Im pretty set on the fact that im a 1 point smite, rest zeal, do not tell me smiters are better, blah blah blah, I like zeal better, alot more fun to play.

Anyways. Skill Tree:

20 Sacrifice
20 Zealot
20 Holy Shield
20 Fanat
1 Smite

The rest, I am not to sure about.

My Gear, Gah, I am so confused. Please Help! (Btw, I Mainly Use Perf Gear)

Sheild:
Eth HoZ, Socketed With Zod (About 250 More Defence)
HoZ, Socketed With Um (22 More Resist On All)

Weapon:
Grief Or LW
Lots Of Pros and Cons, Please Help!

Armor:
I pretty much have no idea.

All my large skill charms, should they all be +life?

When you go "1 point smite", Grief is almost a must-have.

If you need the res, go HoZ. If you don't, go Eth HoZ.

A Zealot doesn't use skill charms. They use max/ar/lifers. Note that +max dmg won't work with Smite, only Zeal.

As for armor:
Fortitude or Duress if you need res but not a lot
Chains of Honor if you need a lot of res

[SyCoMiDgEt]

Why not skill charms with 45 life? Even 5 of those, thats 200 more life. And 5 skill points...

[Scudstorm]

Skill points mean nothing for a Zealot.

15x 20life/5 res scs, now that's a much better use of your inventory space.

If you can get those without duping, of course.

and sheild:

Eth Exile?

or Eth HoZ?

[Scudstorm]

Exile for safety, HoZ for offense.

[SyCoMiDgEt]

Ok so far.
Im set on.

Eth Vortex Exile.
Fortitude.
Lifers/Resist Charms


Now why should i strickly be set on grief?
Last wish offers CB. Lvl17 Might. ED. Life Tap (on top of Exiles)

Grief
ED, 400 Damage.

Grief adds to base damage before modifiers, so for a smiter Grief >>> LW

[SyCoMiDgEt]

Rings?

2x Bks?
1 BK and something else?

Helmet?

[Shanksie1337]

rings: 1 Ravenfrost for sure.
helm: guillaume face is hard to beat, especially if you go for Grief. (Grief >> LW).
