Well, this is my charger/smiter/zeal build. Someone tell me if this build will work, or am I going to waste my time building this baby. In Pvp, when i do duel, i will do fine after i get all my equipment. I should be able to do nice in PvM and stack on some Annihilus's. Now, I would charge into a crowd, and if I got stuck, I would zeal for a hole, and charge my way out. If you guys could give me some suggestions it would be helpful. Thanks. :yep:
