Good Zealot is ADHD zealot, you should be everywhere doing positive things for your team. Identifying when and what to do is hardest part of beign a good Zealot. 

Desperation Faithful Frenzy Retaliatory Defence Blinded by Blood Thy Wrath be Swift are the nodes which can be swapped.

Good nodes to swap into: Good Balance Against the Odds No Respite Purge the Unclean Movement Speed Boost Master-Crafted Shroudfield 

Can easy swap between Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude and Fury of the Faithful, to become potent dive machine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your main roles as zealot are:

1. Peel from your psyker/veteran. Listen to sound quotes and adapt accodingly. Heard a lot of ragers? Look at your psyker/veteran.
2. Book upkeep. The more you are fighting in melee, the faster CD of Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude will be. Good Book upkeep = much easier game for your team.
3. You are very fast, but your damage is mid, so look for not covered flank and kill specials there. Clean that backline on special surges.
4. Help your team with special sniping/gunners. Dive into lines of gunners if possible and force them to stop shooting at your team. 
5. Inititiate fights in the gunner seeds with Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude.
6. Cover teammates on objectives with Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude.
7. Ledge bosses and weird placed Daemonhost with Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude.
8. Don't be useless AOE Zealot with Immolation Grenade + Artemia Mk III Purgation Flamer. This setup won't let you deal with special waves. Don't be a silly goose.  Really, go play Psyker if you want to set the world ablaze, while maniacally laughing.

Other useful things you can and should do as good Zealot:

• Keep an eye on what is happening behind the team, clean those special surges from behind and then go back into the fray. If you are done with specials and are left with the melee chaff on you, just ignore them and run to your psyker or ogryn and they will kill them quickly for you, don't waste time on them. 

• Loot for your team between engagements! Mark Grenades and Big Ammo for your teammates! You are one of the fastest characters in the game, so its one of your primary roles! Got an ammo crate on you? Pass it to the Veteran or Arbites (Weapon Special, while looking at them in melee range) and proceed with looting. Same situation with stims.

  Stims priority list:

• Red(Skull) > Rifthaven Mk II Inferno Force Staff Psyker (Melt crusher waves), Ogryn (Boss damage),Zealot with Artemia Mk III Purgation Flamer (Melt crusher waves) or Crucis Mk II Thunder Hammer (Boss damage).
• Yellow (Circle arrow) > Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude Zealot or Telekine Dome Psyker. Especially usefull for Twins fights or crazy gunner engagements to spam protective abilities.
• Blue (>>>) > Rifthaven Mk II Inferno Force Staff Psyker is the primary recipient to get faster charging. Another really good usage is clutch resses, because it refills stamina to full and gives Block Cost reduction.
• Green (Healing)> Universal.

Tips:

• Providence + Revive speed on curio will allow you to pull almost any rescue in this game.

• Keep in mind, that diving with Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude is much harder compared to Fury of the Faithful because of the long CD, so good understanding of situation is needed, when diving. 

  Observe situation and try to understand, will you be able to engage those gunners w/o wasting Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude CD and if its possible, go for it (Check your team status before diving first, if they are free and not fighting, proceed with the plan). Thats the best case scenario, because Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude will be your backup plan if something goes wrong.

  But there will be situations, where you will be forced to engage with the Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude (Group of gunners are already engaged and firing at your squad), so you should plan fight a bit ahead and think of escape route if things will become messy.

• You should always be in the fray of battle hitting enemies to get CDR from Invocation of Death rolling. 

• Don't overdo with Artemia Mk III Purgation Flamer spamming. Ideally you should be able to complete full mission by looting once from two ammo crates. But at the same time you will be on lookout for loot for your team and looting far away small ammo boxes is a good thing to do.
