Avenger

[Xeb0]

Hi guys. Im new to these forums, so I apologize if im posting in the wrong section. I am making a paladin, one of my first, and was considering going the Avenger route. Now alot of people say that Conviction is just great with Vengeance, but unless im adding the numbers wrong in some way or have a skill description misunderstood, fanaticism should be much better than Conviction for Avengers. Ill explain where im comming from.

Lets use Base DMG 1000, no sinergies, and all skills in question will be level 20.

Now wouldnt the process go something like this?
---------------------------------------------
*Conviction Aura and Vengeance*

1,000 + 552%(Vengeance Total) = 6,520

6,520 + 125%(Conviction)= 14,670


*Fanaticism Aura and Vengeance*

1,000 + 373%(Fanaticism) = 3,730

3,730 + 552% = 24,320
---------------------------------------------

Now, to me atleast, this clearly shows that increasing the initial base damage with fanaticism, increases the elemental damage far more in the end, than if someone were to use conviction.

Please respond soon.

But vengeance does elemental dmg right? In hell that doesn't help out too much.

Last time I checked, Fanatacism didn't increase elemental damage.

For an Avenger you want to use Vengence as main attack and Conviction as main aura. You would attack faster with Fanaticism but it only Vengence has a high mana cost. So you would be attacking fast but be using a ton of mana quickly. A zealot would use zeal, 5 hits per click, and fanaticism wich will increase your attack speed and rating like crazy. For avenger conviction lowers enemy defence and resist. Conviction does fire,ice, and lightning damage and since conviction lowers enemy resists it pumps the damage alot more.


Zealot-attacks very fast,multiple hits, lots of physical damage, easy to solo with
Avenger-Huge elemental damage, no enemy is completely immune to you, huge mana cost and slower attack-NOT good to solo with but a great party member especially with sorcs. \

If you mix the two the results wont be as good as if you either made a normal Zealot or Avenger. Stick with one or the other and you'll be better off.
