Up to 5-20% Strength based on the charge time of your heavy attacks. Stacks 3 times.

This is my favorite variation of the Support Zealot build. It's great at killing bosses, cleaving hordes, crossfiring, and special sniping.
Pros: Great single target DPS, survivability, very mobile, important role in Havoc and for certain Auric / Maelstrom modifiers.
Cons: Depending on your ranged weapon you sacrifice either high single target DPS or massive horde clear.
Weapons
In this build you should use the Combat Blade or Dueling Sword to be able to run Uncanny Strike and take advantage of the Duellist talent.
For your ranged weapon you can either run the Recon Lasgun for high single target damage and to help with crossfire / special sniping or the Flamer to cleave down hordes.
Curios
For Curios I run a balanced setup with 2 toughness and 1 stamina. Grab Ability Cooldown, Stamina Regeneration, Toughness, Sprint Efficiency, and Block Efficiency. You're going to be using your ability whenever it's up so you really want as much cooldown reduction as you can get and stacking stamina benefits makes surviving much easier.
Talents
On the way to Blades of Faith take all of the nodes except for Blood Redemption, you don't really need it. Scourge and Enduring Faith synergize really well with crit and survivability while Second Wind is lowkey busted for toughness recovery. The reason why we run Blades of Faith is because we are already taking the talents right above it and it never hurts to have a quick, special sniping option on hand.
Since we are building towards Benediction as our aura we're able to take Duellist for a significant damage increase and Until Death / Holy Revenant, which boost our survivability like crazy.
COSF is the bread and butter of this build and you want to be using it as much as possible. Don't take any of the ability modifiers because you are almost never sitting through your entire ultimate to be able to benefit off of them. We actually don't really need to build into something like Anoint in Blood at the start of the tree because Ecclesiarch's Call provides that bonus for the entire team.
At this point in the tree we're running low on talent points, but Faithful Frenzy and Sustained Assault are almost always worth taking on any Zealot build unless you're specifically prioritizing doing DoT damage. *Warning* if you're making a DoT build your damage numbers will never be accurate on the scoreboard mod because DoT damage is always assigned to the first person who applied the DoT in a stack of DoTs.
Invocation of Death pairs perfectly with Blazing Piety, which is a phenomenal keystone for this build because of the crit benefits it provides. There is an argument to be made for Stalwart instead of Fury Rising, but I prefer Fury Rising to be able to grab 10% more crit in Righteous Warrior. This synergizes really well with the Flesh Tearer and Infernus blessings on our weapons or the Flamer as a whole since when you crit with it you apply 2 stacks of burn instead of 1.
