Help with my lvl 12 zealer.

Hey all.

Just entering the world of pvp and decided to have a go at lld as that looks fun.

I'm going to make a lvl 12 zealer.

I'm trying to figure out the best use of set items.

My plans for gear at the moment are

2x angelic rings
angelic ammy
Sigons helm
Sigons armour
Civerbs weapon
Not sure on sheild.
Not sure on boots.
Not sure on belt but at the moment im going to use a rare crappy one.

Mods are;
10 fhr
14 ed
7 life
cr 15
fr 16

Would Cleg sword + Sheild be better then civerbs?

And what charms should i be looking for?

I'm thinking 1 Might 1 Sacrafice Rest in zeal?


That sound right?

Personaly if I would go for lv12 zealot for lld and would almost only be using set items heres my layout. (a sacrifice paladin would be much better at level 12 tho)


Angelic amy and 2x ring (obvious reason ar boost life replenish and dex bonus and the whooping +75life)
Death's gloves and belt (30%ias cannot be frozen virtually "immune" to poison)

The helm I would try and get a 3os mask and stick +damage jewel. For the availlable set sigon takes way too much str for my taste on lld. Beside sigon you could only use isenhart helm or bersrker helm for lv 12 and in my opinion they are not much better.

Hsarus boot and shield is a good combo for this level, but a paladin shield with 60% enhance damahe and 100 ar boost with 4 socket would be much better and offer a better block.
Sigon shield have that +1 skill you might need tho, if you choose sigon shield prepare to invest drasticly in str and forget anything I said about items requiring too much str.

As far weapon goes on a zealot speed is king. 3 choice comes to mind when talking set weapon.

Angelic sword : along with amy and rings it will get an additional 30%ias leading you to the fastest possible attack at your level wich is 5fps, damage is a bit low tho . My personal favorite for level 12.

Civerb mace: high damage but oh so slow, you need 11%ias for 7fps and 35%ias for 6fps(havent figured a way to get more then 30%ias from gloves at level 12 so far). I wouldn't dare use this versus any "real lld", way too slow.

Cleglaw's sword: Decent damage and an amazing 50% deadly strike could only reach a 6fps attack for lv12 tho. need 42%ias to reach 5fps.


For armor, I would go for angelic since I would already be using each others piece and it grants an awesome defense bonus. (+150 def)

Artic armor is availlable for lv12 but don't offer much.
Berserker armor with the helm could be a possible choice.
Isenhart armor could make it with the helm but again its not my pick.
Sigon armor have the worst str requirement, angelic offer more defense and is way cheaper on stats.


Skill wise you can only put 1 point in zeal at level 12 using angelic amy with 2 other piece you get +1skill and maibe using sigon shield you could get another +skill. "Real lld" zealot are usually level 18, just to let you know. I might be able to help you out later if you deciede to stay lv 12 and change your mind and go sacrifice.

Put only 1 point in might.

max sacrifice for %ed synergy with zeal.

If you have any skill left(skill quest) dump them in might

as far as charm goes look for +life and +damage mods.

I hope you will enjoy you lld experience and this little bit of info can help you.
if you have anymore question don't hesitate to ask I will be happy to help you out and I will get back to you as soon as possible but I really need to get to sleep for now.

Okay... little late on the scene, but I'll try to uhh... save you from some embarrassment.

First off, if you're going with zeal at level 12, there's only one weapon for consideration. Which is a +3 zeal war scepter socketed with 5x 9+ max damage jewels. 15%ed superior is also nice to have, but those will start getting expensive. More expensive start coming with either defiance or might (I don't actually know if might can spawn with 5 sockets. I do know defiance can) as a 2nd staffmod.

Next, the key word is uh... max damage jewels.

3 soc mask or crown, stuffed with (you guessed it) maxers. 4 soc pally shield, with 60+ ed, 120+ ar, stuffed with maxers. For your armour, either an eth/rep ancient (socketed with 1-2 maxers) if you plan on going defensive (i.e. running defiance) or a 4 soc gothic... stuffed with maxers. Please, for the love of god, use 15%ed superiors for the hat and armour (if it's gothic). Every little bit counts.

While clegs is a nice sword... a 5 hit zeal is far more important than 50% DS.

Gloves... you need IAS more than you do FHR, so the deaths glove/sash combo is who you use for your gloves and belt.
Boots are the best rares you can find... look for FHR, stats/life, defence in that order.
Jewellery is angelics. Note that if you're going defensive, you'll want to keep around some useful rares, as some 9-12 leagues don't allow angelics. This will benefit a defensive build a lot, but you gotta play fair, so grab your rares.

Skills; Max sac, 1 zeal, rest into aura of choice (either might or defiance, depending on whether you're offensive of defence). Pretty simple here.

Strategy; Uhh... walk up to someone and zeal them?



As for sac, that removes the necessity of a 3 zeal war scepter. Clegs and a nice scepter (well, if I had a +3 sac/+3 defiance 15% ed scepter and some 14 maxers to burn, I'd use that, and I somehow doubt you would either...) are fairly equal for these guys. Defensive routes are typically stronger (in other words; USE DEFIANCE), as sac already comes with a ton of ed.
