Patriarch LARGE_MEMBER
First of all, I have to give a big thanks to Zaph for the ebotd war pike. Thanks!
My goals for this Paladin were:
1. To zeal things to death
2. With a giant stick
3. Eating nachos
3. Fast players 8 kill speed
4. Did I mention how giant my poking stick is?
The name comes from a co-worker (a very respected co-worker, tops in the industry) discussing structural design at a meeting. I am not part of the structural stuff, so I was daydreaming. Then I noticed him standing up at the conference table and he repeated "our members are large" about four to five times to our Asian customer. It took every ounce of me to not start laughing, thinking back to the Chinpokemon South Park episode. So I immortalized that moment with this character.

The Journey:
Envy jewels -> 1.09 Raven Claw -> Zeal with Bonesnap then Upped Steeldriver
Players 8 Normal and Nightmare, Players 8 Hell
Deaths: 1000
Zeal is amazingly strong through normal and nightmare with the available weapons. I used upped steeldriver until Upped Ribcracker than then ebotd War pike. This guy could deal a lot of damage, but couldn't take a whole lot of damage. Being cursed was a "cross your fingers and hope for the best" situation in hell. Ranged attackers were a huge problem, especially when they were not leachable. I do not have Dracs, and I would much prefer the op safetyness of them, even at 3k+ life.
There were many deaths in Act 1 hell while running the pits to 85, but they stopped after I hit 81 or so. Deaths came and went, Act V had some hard-hitters that got me. PI moonlords were fun. Not. They didn't kill me, but being amped around the charging rotwalkers sure did. And several other things.
The thoughts:
- Two handed zeal with a big stick is a very fast killer, player settings do not slow you down.
- What slows you down are things that do a lot of damage. No DR, horrible poison resist, no shield or claw block really adds up.
- I think Death CS might be just as good as ebotd war pike for a zealer. It would let you gear a little differently with the huge CB and DS already on the weapon. Ebotd has nice life leach and stats, but those are just nice touches. Now I need to ask Zaph for a death CS
-This guy destroys high player settings council. The merc is never in danger fanatcism and me standing right there. Conviction still kills him, but that is my fault for not having Kiras.
-He does a good job in the CS, too. Baal runs have a few too many ranged attackers to be death proof.
