Zealot Gear,PVP,Critique

Hey people.
This is what I have planned for my PvP Zealot.

Eth BOTD Zerker
Graded Shaftstop
Crown of Ages with 40% ED jewel
Angel Ring+Amulet
IK Boots+IK Gloves
Stormshield

Any suggestions for more effectiveness. Like 2x Raven with Highlords or what?

PDR = 50% cap. How much PDR do you have ? Yea, that's right. Drop the Shaftstop man, upgraded still doesn't have that much defence compared to some other armours.

I suggest Duress runeword, Stone runeword, +2 Arkaine's Valour, eth Cham'd Steel Carapace for armour. You want HIGH defence with Zealots. Try get a 2 socket +2 CoA (but even then, IMHO a +1 skill 2 socket is better than a +2 skill 1 socket CoA for a Zealot, losing +1 skills isn't that big of a deal since your damage comes mostly from items).

Other ring should be a Ravenfrost. Boots, try get some Gore Riders. Belt, Verdungo's. Even Hsaru's Belt + Boot combo is ok (just like Angelic set, it adds lots of AR since it scales.)

Fill inventory with 1 annihilus and the rest +3 max/life sc's and/or 100+ AR/30 life GC's.

I say get a Harlequin Crest instead of a CoA. A 1 socket CoA simply isn't a very good helm. I also suggest that you either switch out the Stormshield or Shaftstop for something with better zealot stats. You also need a Cham rune somewhere. By the way, what realm are you on?

heh, whoever said up´d shaft isnt good, think again buddy, i use up´d shaft and i own. whats not to like????! if you use it you have the freedom to use whatever other gear instead of trying to get DR from more sources like if you used enigma or stone, also it has way more defense than enigma buddy, its only lacking skills or damage but you can make up for that in other gear. my paladin uses upd shaft, 102%ED alma 72% AR 2 skills 15%ias and high defense, guillaumes face (it has been turning up a lot now, even pubby zealots, i dont like what im seeing), verdugnos, gore riders, ebotd war spike, 15 str draculs grasp, angelics. also i have 43% DR which works for me. IMO 40%+ is good enough and you dont really need much more. i havent gotten around to dueling tom with my new set up though, rees i dueled you but i changed weapon, dont know if i have killed you with it though >< anyway just what i had to say

first off shafts only good looking mod is the dr, sure some plus life in there. but enigma you got the massive + str +2 skills 8% dr +45% faster run/walk, how is that not more appealing then shaft?

1 soc coa is useless use shako, or guillaumes face, cham your ss so u can use angelics, switch out shaft for enigma.
that gives you 43 dr so get a cheap dungo with low dr and high vita and your set on dr. even 43% is nice so u could even go for hrasus boots plus belt but thats overkill on ar i believe........
ik gloves/ boots is anice setup with the plus ar and 20% ias.

My bad about the CoA, it was late at night =p

No one said that, however I said it wasn't suited for his build. If you read carefully you'll note he already has plenty of PDR and thus Shaftstop isn't as good as the alternative armous I listed. "If you have the freedom to use it" isn't saying much when there is much better armour out there. Stormshield is still the best shield IMHO, it has everything covered (Stormshield + high defence rig IMHO better than Shaftstop + Alma). Anyway I don't intend to argue with you, if it works for you then that's just fine. The point is, for this build, Shaftstop is a bad choice for armour.

how can you say shaft isnt useful for a zealot >< shaft isnt a bad armor man, sure enigma has some more appealing mods but you can work around with shaft, it just opens up more doors in a way, if youre on west maybe we can duel though i wont be online for 3 weeks :( but oh well, im not trying to start a fight, just saying shaft is a good armor, and believe me i have tried enigma and different combos, this is my favorite ATM, plus shaft is good looking too... anyway im looking for a build that can combine enigma and alma for the most damage/AR as possible........ oh well, chill out guys you should try a shaft sometime

Matter if you are doing melee duels or not. Why run away or use teleport in them. When has plus 2 to all skills been really helpful for a zealot? Str ya it gives more damage but every one likes more attack ratting. So I kind of wish it had plus to dex instead. Now if this was vers necros all I would have cared about was the plus to teleport.

He could just as easyly remove the sheild and get another sheild like exile, santuary, Spirt ward, or alma negra and do just fine as is.

I think we should at least say that they need to get better gloves and boots. Like they should have wartravelers or goreriders on also they should have bloodfist, steelrend, or dracul's grasp.
