Summary

This is my favorite Zealot build in the game right now. This melee setup is Havoc 40 capable and it's an extremely easy build to play allowing any player to pick it up and succeed with it.

 

Playstyle

Spam heavy attacks to cleave through hordes and charge your Thunder Hammer up to deal big damage to bosses from stealth. It's straightforward but it works really well and you rarely have to worry about your own HP, just don't get trapped!

 

Weapons

The Thunder Hammer is basically the best melee weapon on Zealot now and it feels ULTRA smooth with Unfaltering. You can probably use the Relic Blade if you prefer that, but this build doesn't really work with any other weapon. For your ranged weapons stick to mobility sticks: Las Pistol, Shredder Autopistol, Bolt Pistol, etc.

 

Build

You can substitute a few talents here, there are tons of variations of this setup. For example you can drop Hubris and Good Balance for Holy Tools and Purifying Hatred or Duellist if you want to do more damage or vise versa.
