Uniques
1)
Red Sermon - more than doubles
Zeal damage and gives us
Death or Glory variant for free
2)
Crown of Lucion - with the mythic unique version we can gain 58.8% multiplicative damage bonus by using
Fanaticism Aura every 6 seconds!
- You should aim to have enough cooldown reduction from your gear (rings/helmet) and paragon board so
Fanaticism Aura cooldown is 6 seconds or less
3)
Fists of Fate - these become worth it to use when you have a mythic unique roll (390%). If you don't have a good fists of fate use legendary gloves with
Aspect of Jacques' Fervor (crit multi, vuln multi, phys multi, strength etc.)
Aspects
Aspect of Redirected Force gives us multiplicative critical strike damage bonus which is DOUBLED when we block! Remember we have 100% block chance through the Aspect of Interdiction!
Aspect of Glynn's Anvil nerfed in S14 but still provides 40% damage reduction
Aspect of Interdiction - gives us 100% block chance by stacking Resolve Stacks from tempers from our other gear!
Amulet 2nd Aspect
Use the cube to get 2nd aspect on amulet such - you need
Embattled Aspect here (or you can roll
Aspect of Interdiction here and then put
Embattled Aspect on boots)
Tempering
Tempering is extremely important for Zeal - you NEED to both Greater Affix Temper and Masterwork Maximum Resolve Stacks on your Helm, Chest, Pants, Amulet, so you can get 30 resolve stacks from gear!
Runes
Cir +
Kry to use Spiritborn Vortex to gather enemies into one place!
Igni +
Mot summons
Dark Shroud to give us All Resistances + Damage Reduction!
Skull on weapon for more physical damage multiplier - remember
Zeal is a physical skill
Ruby on armor for more strength
Use a combination of
Ruby,
Emerald and
Topaz on jewellery for more survivability on jewellery rather than 3x Diamond. Fire/Poison/Lightning damage are the biggest killers in the game!
Key Stat Thresholds
- You don't need Crit chance on your gear - we get near 100% crit chance from other sources:
Death or Glory - 20%
Red Sermon temper - 15%
The Penitent's Aspect - 15%
Fanaticism Aura - 16%
Words of Sacrifice +
Critical Strike Chance Rally - 15%
Critical Strike Chance Zeal - 6%
Fervent - 12%- Base Crit 5%
- We can gain a maximum of 30 Resolve Stacks in S14
- Because we have 100% crit chance rerolling gear for critical strike damage multiplier and masterworking this stat becomes INSANE! Look for this as high priority for your uniques and legendary items!
