31 zealot?
So I've got most of the stuff together to make a respectable 21 zealot... not nearly as nice as the one I had last season, but it's early enough that I should be able to tear things up.
However the problem I noticed both last season and season 2 with my 21 is that you're kind of in a bad place so far as common brackets go.
You do too much damage for the 18s to want to go near you, the eth snappers won't duel anything with a shield unless they have 6 levels on it, and the 27 chargers can 1 shot you... so you're pretty much stuck with kickers. Other zealots are rare, as are jabbers. Not that I have an issue dueling kickers, I'd just prefer to be able to take on the 27s without fluxing them 10 times before getting 1 shot.
So what I was thinking about maybe trying was a 31 zealot with coldsteel, rockstopper, and string. I think at that point I'd still be doing fairly similar damage to what my 21 does, but with a bunch more hp and of course 25% dr I'd be able to take a decent roll charge.
The thing I'm wondering about with such a build is whether or not I'd just be running into a similar problem, only getting 1 shot by eth steel drivers while never getting duels from insight/honour chargers (with a 4 lvl difference it'd be understandable) or something to that extent.
In my head it seems like a good idea, but at the same time I don't believe I've ever seen a 31 zealot, so what am I not thinking of?
