Tesladin or zeal?

Guys really need you advice. Yesterday i drop

Jah rune and having some rune to trade for another

Jah. Now i have level 94

Zeal. Equip: Grief (397, 39), Fortitude, Exile shield, highlords

Wraith, war traveller, guillame face, nosferatu coil

Belt( have verdungo and strings), laying hands gloves (have draculas grasp),

Hellfire Torch.
Farming all the time

Chaos Sanctuary and some

Baal runs.
I may also buy Phoenix shield for

Zeal.
What i should do?
I appreciate you answers, with best regards

I LOVE and I mean LOVE my Tesladin.

I ladder reset with them every single season. The end game is ridiculously fun because once you do get the 2 dreams, literally the entire game just melts underneath you in p1 and even in p8 there are only 1 or 2 areas that are difficult.

I will note that its an amazing use of a champion without an Enigma, because charging around EVERYTHING just dies around you.

Chaos and

Baal are super easy, I do a ton of Nihl runs too.

I'd also recommend finding a 3os PB and slamming a

Shael

Um

Tir in it for a

Crescent Moon. The runeword with

Conviction and

Zeal means youre always procing the static and CL, meaning you have tons more wave clear than anticipated.

My set up is:
Dream

Helm
Dream Shield
Enigma/Fort
Highlords
Dracs,
5LL bk
Perf

Raven
Dungos
Gores

CTA/Spirit on swap

100% my favorite build to play and it's not really close.

Huh man thanks a lot, thats really good, now i really want to do it. Fun really matters a lot for me. Pure

Zeal such a boring thing

Can this set up solo ubers? I heard smiter is better at it but is horrible at everything else.

I'm in the process of building this. Have the Jahs, just need the bases lol. Looking forward to it. I made a

Crescent Moon already to upgrade from Black and the damage increase was really nice. I've read for Ubers, you really ant Grief as your weapon though.

Hi, you don't need a smiter at all to do the ubers. Every pala has access to

Smite anyway as you need to spend a point here on your way to

Holy Shield. And that's just enough - basically it's more depending on your gear. You just need to achieve a resonable amount of cb (ds is helpful but secondary).
I usually use a conv/fana zealer (conv overcasts Meph's aura and apart from that I use it more often than fana in the rest of the game).
Preferred gear: Guillaumes, Forty (

Guardian Angel is a cheap and underestmitated alternative, especially if you reach 90% all res),

Stormlash (Death or Grief are rune word alternatives), HOZ, Draculs, Gores, Nosferatus, Highlords,

Raven and an all res dual leech ring
Just my 2 cents.

Tesladin is my fav build by far

Do you need a Dream to be effective? Just wondering how budget the build is for us

Jah-less ones

I don't play paladins, but idea of killing everything by just standing around is very attractive. Attractive, but boring. Huh... That describes several dates I've had in the past.

Yup, I swap in a Black

Flail/Gface and goblin toes for 100% CB and ubers are a breeze. Slap

Salvation on for Meph and then just 1v2

Baal and diablo. Lifetap

Wand after CTA'ing and I havent died in ubers in forever.

Nope don't need the Dreams to play a tesladin, but it's definitely slower and you can't break lightning immunes. Means either harder speccing into physical damage, or my preferred route and doing

Holy Freeze/

Holy Shock and playing that way.

Crescent Moon, Lionheart, Gface, Pally Spirit, Angelics, String, Ravenfrost, Gtoes... gets the job done.

It's not that easy, unless you are you playing on normal, or nightmare at most.

Lvl 30

Holy Shock from stacked Dreams deals about 1k dmg (average of 1-2k). If you manage to reduce enemy lightning res to -100%, that's 2k. Enough to kill a

Fallen on Hell (≈1.5k HP), but even Zombies have 4.5k-6k HP on Hell, depending on variant. 3 pulses needed to kill, with 2 s delay between each. A normal monster, not a champion. Too slow to rely only on aura.

At the same time,

Holy Shock adds 6 times (exactly, according to formulae on the Amazon Basin) as much damage to each attack. With lightning fast

Zeal, capped at 5 attacks per 24 frames (4/4/4/4/8), which is over 5 attacks per second (IAS calc), it is 60 times as much as aura. That's gonna hurt .

It's an awesome, powerful build, but not that powerful just to wander and kill everything passively.

Yeah but you're forgetting a Tesladin runs a max level

Conviction. I can literally

Charge around

Halls of Vaught on p1 and everything will die in 3-4 pulses.

Of course, I actually hit stuff too given using a

Crescent Moon for the CtC static (and -light res which you already pointed out). But it really is as easy as

Charge around and occasionally hit some stuff and everything dies.

If you like auradin playstyle, but not the paladin class, there is a similar alternative:

Enchant sorceress!
No native aura skills, so she has to equip dual Dream (or dual Dragon or Hand of Justice, or a combination of them). Unfortunately, Dragon and Dream both require a shield, so we can stack at most 2 HS, 2 HF or 1 HS, 3 HF auras.

Holy Shock deals much more damage, and Dream is also cheaper than Dragon, so the choice is rather simple.
Sorceress also lacks attack skills. We can cover this by oskills:

Zeal (and

Berserk) from Passion,

Vengeance from Kingslayer, or even

Werebear from Beast (normal attack, but morphed. And with

Fanaticism aura!). Normal attack is also viable, if we decide to use HoJ or any other weapon without an oskill.
Paladin has his auras empowered by synergies, while sorceress by masteries (and attacks also by

Enchant).
According to this calculator, such a sorceress should have even higher DPS than an elemental zealot.

A straight Zealer is not that great in PVM and a Tesladin with AOE damage has faster clear speed and is more fun to play. Most of the mobs around the enemies you're swatting will get dropped before you reach them, or their life is but a portion. A Zealer needs to swat EVERY monster in the game by hand.

Based on the items you listed there it looks like you're setup for more a Smiter build, and this could be a nice way to go if you don't do Dream. I have one I absolutely love and is really versatile in normal gameplay with 1 point into

Zeal and points into

Charge.
