come on already, i was expecting the guide by now, you've had what, 6 maybe 7 hours since you posted the idea.
jeeeesus i'm bored of waiting.
okay i'll give you a helping hand as you so obviously need it and my experience with zealots is almost legendary.
skills
max zeal
stats
strength 178 which is the max you need to equip the holy shield of god. of which i have 45, so i have one on both my main slot and on switch and give one to my merc.
which cleverly brings us to mercs:
only one choice, act 3 iron wolf merc with (as prviously stated) another holy god sheild, and a cruel phase blade of quickness socketed with four sheal runes and two gems or pefect rubies.
as you can imagine tactics are faily straight forward. run into a pack of evil doers zeal them to death and then do it again.
in hell things get a bit more complicated as you will probably get killed by the first foul crow that comes knocking.
don't give up, unless you play hc when now is as good a time as any.
i won't insult your intelligence by going into too much detail on your kill blades save to say that i will only use BotD axes and every top ladder paladin i know does too. if you don't have one i suggest duping the runes quickly before they fingerprint them or alternatively play chess you n00b loser.
i'm expecting a sticky for this.
