Looking to make a PVP Zealot...help a nub here...

Ok..there is alot of debate about exile/hoz..coa...dc/botd...im kinda confused about all this...so i need some help please!!

Sacrifice
Zeal
Fanta
Holy Shield
Defiance

Anyone? Help is appreciated!

Here is some items to get. They will work just fine.

weapons: ebotd warspike, Ethy perfect razors edge, godly rares, and elited headstriker ohm runed.

rings and ammys: 2 anglics and the ammy, ravenfrost anglic ring and ammy, 2ravenfrost rings and highlords wrath.

COA: kicks butt. So yes use it.

Sheilds: stormsheild. Why simple using that with a verdungos will give you 50% dr.

What you should do is post what items you want to use so that way we can tell you what to use in place of that.

My Zealot used -->

CoA, 15% DR + BERBER = 31% DR
Exile, (Pubbie Dueller) used to give immortality
2 Angel Ring + Ammy
Weapon wise, I went for the eBoTD BA, but the tests were shown that it hits less. I just couldn't be arsed to try and get a WS

Lots of Paladins in this forum will never condone the usage of an Exile in PvP, because of the lifetap. But it *is* a very good shield in my eyes, better than Storm if you can BERBER the CoA. With a Perf Verdungo after this, you have 46% DR, 4% off perfect.

You should also look into a 1.09 Ethereal Zod-ed Arkaine's with +2 Pala on it. Secksi armour for Zealot, especially Cham-ed up.

You skill placement is good, with a decent def armour and shield you should be getting an insane defence goin' on.

Thats not the only reason y i dont condone exile.

1. Life Tap

2. Overpriced for the mods that are on it

3. The defense is a waste. with just 20k ar i hit anyone with a exile.

4. No good mods on it other then defense.

5. You dont need resistance in pvp zealot vs zealot battles.

6. No Dr, No +damage, no + strength, no + life. All qualities wich make a good pala shield.

7. Its aura stacking which isn't allowed in temple.

8. you loose mods which can be made up from in a shield.

9. i can't think of anymore but there is more somplace lol..

You forgot the low blocking Brian. All those stats you have to put into dex to make up for it takes away from vit as well.

 

[BIGG_RAY]

well i used to play zealots back in 1.09...then i quit for 2 years cause of the patch was coming...lol yea right...i used to use vamp, shaft, ss, fury cryptic sword, dual leech rings, cats eye/highlords, ect..stuff like that...now i have no clue on equip lol...how is levi in pvp? or enigma? i also hear talk of stone..why this?

 

[BIGG_RAY]

also, if i have max defiance and exile...how does that work???

 

[Fallen Creation]

i also hear talk of stone..why this?

Stone has 60% FHR, awesome defense, and pretty good stats...

also, if i have max defiance and exile...how does that work???

If you have max defiance... don't use it, use fanat... then when you equip exile, it will give you the slvl 13-16 defiance aura, along with the fanat you are already using.

However, exile isn't really all that great. I've never used one (too poor), but judging from stats alone, Alma Negra could kill Exile any day, so I don't think I even want to use exile...

 

[UndeadBehlial]

stone while a mid lvl, then decide if valor is good for you.

Also why use a Ber Ber CoA when you can just get a .08 vamp gaze, mine has 25% DR and that has nothing socketed in it. . Remember the max DR (this is what you should aim for) is 50%. SS gives 35(good shield), so with SS and my gaze, i'm already at 60% - over the limit. *True* CoA has skillz, and a Cham in it keeps the frosty things away, but use dual ravenfrosts and highlords. RaWr!

You forgot about me with number 3. You had a bit harder time hitting me, and I had 67k def.

You should check out the Zealot guide by Stoutwood for future reference.

If you have already,look again it's got all the info you need.
