PvP pure Zealot gear-up choices?

Well Im just wondering what you zealots use for armor/head gear choices...

---Mine was supposely this:

ber ber coa (must have 15 dr..)
Fort ap
Grief Zerk (must have 40ias roll for 4fps)
Eth exile
magnus skin
Gores
Dungos
Angelics set

But the setup above just stresses me out with so limited and so specifically geared...must have cbf (cannot use cham in any other places)

If my Coa is not 15%dr, then my total dr would be less than 46%DR...
More damage and more Defence
no cannot be frozen...which means needs raven, which means less AR
I can only stick to one and only one choice of 40ias grief zerks...or else its not gonna work...


---Second setup is more flexible to me because I get to choose where I want my cannot be frozen and further more I can get any Ias grief zerk I want (instead of sticking to a must have 40ias to reach 4fps)

Guillaume face 40-15
Upped Shaft chamed(no more raven rings yay!!)
Grief zerk (any roll, freedom of choice...)
Eth exile
Magnus skin
Dungos
Gores
Angelics rings (no raven/highlord combo)

I feel the second setup is more flexible and more choices of gear and socket selection. But though it does less damage, but since i have grief, that shouldnt be a problem...

45%DR
Good AR with angelics because I would have Cham upped shaft
Freedom of choosing any grief zerks I want (even 30%ias is okay)
Less damage and Less defence...

What you guys think? or simply, what do you guys use??

I just finished my zealot (PvP) a few days ago. I'm not a fan of Guillame's for PvP purposes because CB% is highly nerfed, if you need 20% IAS Gloves I suggest Crafting some Blood Gloves and hope for good mods. My Setup (which has been doing quite well vs. other melee with the exception of smiters) is:

'Cham' Veil of Steel
'Zod' Eth Arkaine's
EBotD Beserker Axe
'Eld' Stormshield
2x Angelic Rings
Angelic Amulet
GoreRider Boots
SteelRend OGs
Verdungo's HCord

You seem to have the funds to build a zealot who is far superior to this in terms of gear.

My only 2 suggestions is change the gloves and change the helm, you can get much better. 80/30 CoA would be better then Guillame's & Crafted Blood over Magnus Skin

If I change it to 80/30 CoA I guess I can switch out glove to even draculs too since I reach 4fps anyways with or without 20Ias glove.

Hey can I ask you if you like Upped Cham'd shaftstop or Cham'd Levi?

 

[RetroStar]

ill take shaft over levi because if you rely heavily on levi's +str (for CoA for example) it won't allow flexibility in armour.

+Life on shaft is sexy also.

 

[the boss]

Thanks Retro and Les, I can tell that CoA and Levi both have 174 strength so which means the +strength on levi is a waste for me and I can have more life with Shaftstop.

80/30 CoA
Cham'd Upped Shaft
Grief Zerk
Eth exile
Draculs/Magnus skin
Gores
15%dr string
Angelics combo
