Thats all, Have fun, folks.

errr non of you guys listed belt.

arach, nosferatus, dungo, or string

a doom zerk axe is also another really good option for weapon... even tho some people say the freeze is cheap

Helm=Coa 2 soc /w 3xed/15ias jewels or cham/ber
Armor=Levi (chamed) or eth templars
Weapon=Eth dcleaver or eth headstriker (Pwnz wif deadly strike)
rings=angelics
ammy=angelics
belt=verdungos /w 15dr or hsarus belt
boots= gorerider/travs or hsarus boots
Gloves=Steelrends or Draculs
Shield= eth vortex exile(11xx def +)
charms=max dmg/ar/life charms

thats a built for godly zealots

I'd have to say CoH for armor. Some good stats there, but having Levi is a good way to get close to max damage % reduction if you have a 2xBer CoA.

ok this is what I going to bulit:

Helm=Coa 2 soc /w cham/ber
Armor=Eth Steel Carapace (what to socket?)
Weapon=Eth dcleaver
rings=angelics
ammy=angelics
belt=verdungos
boots= gorerider
Gloves=Draculs
Shield= eth vortex exile(11xx def +)
charms=max dmg/ar/life charms


all of those are not crazy expense beside the shield -_-. What do you guys think?

True..

But HoH, how do i come off as a Diablo 2 Fanatic, or a Diablo2 Geek, Nerd, or what-not, as you put it in the FF?
