^^ agreed, mostly.
actually ill post my zealer/smiter just to give you ideas. i wanted a zealer and a char to kill ubers.
grief pb (better than botd for zeal imo)
coh (used fort when i wanted to be a zealer, smite has gown on me tho

gores
maras (3pcombat 94 life for melee duels)
raven and bk or 20 str 7 ll res rare ring depends who im dealing with
crafted gloves with 3ll 3ml 9 cb 13 str some res
15 dr venduro
ber ber coa (if its 15 dr ber cham it so you can dump the raven)
45 res exile eth kurast, (phoenix is cool for zeal, make sure it has res tho)
6 or w/e you can afford bo cta with spirit on switch
20 zeal 20 smite 20 fana 20 sacrifice 20 holy shield. 1 to salvation for ubers (let cb do its thing, then swich to fana to finish them off)
str enough for gear
dex enough for block
vita rest
ene lol
use 20life scs, res scs and pcombat gcs. anni torch ofcourse.
you have. max dr (50 or more) max and stacked res. enough leech to survive everything in pvm (and lifetap) max ias. and then it depends.. you either go for zeal damage (fort, phoenix, dmg/ar charms) or smite dmg (coh, exile, skillers).
but hybrids are never as good as pure builds. if you follow the build above skill wise youll be a better zealer. but with smite you can duel in pubs as well as kill ubers.
