![]() No idea why Blizzard did this (maybe expansion team not as good and knowledgeable as original team?) It's almost better to upgrade unique exceptional to elite. I am still trying to figure out if maxing holy shield and going for heavy armour can offset lower block to some degree (yes, this is suboptimal and blocking is way more impactful but if I only lose an extra 10% or something, it's not a big deal-youll die more but I don't care.) Ironically though, on top of low drop rates, unique elite heavy armour has less desirable special attributes compared to exceptional. ![]() Not sure how viable this will be in, say, acts 4 and 5 hell. So far, I am sacrificing dex so my block is kind of low. ![]() I also don't have the best items and likely won't (doing pure magic find characters is too boring so it'll be mostly what I find and mid-level trades I do.) Yeah, the question is do you sacrifice dex or vit. Have you ever tried a high strength char? Focus on Crushing Blow, survivability, and positioning, and then maybe try throwing more points into Str to see how "glass cannon" you can get while still enjoying it. So yeah, bottom line is that yes, it should be viable. You don't want to spread Crushing Blow around to five different mobs, you want to focus it so you can actually kill something. ![]() If monster health is high enough that you can't just steamroll stuff, then you need to position so all your Zeal hits land on the same mob. The key to Fanatic Zealot viability to me has always been positioning. You do hit a point where CB's diminishing returns requires you to muscle the monster down the rest of the way with raw damage, so more Str would help there, but I'm not sure you can take enough from Dex and Vit to feel that much of a difference. ![]() Zeal is primarily a Crushing Blow delivery system, and you need survivability to use it. But my first thought in response is that I'd rather have the extra life. Which stat are you going to take from, Dex or Vit? If you're still hitting max block, you might be able to move some points over to Str. ![]()
