Re: Why do zealers use elemental dmg?
I once made a Fanaticism Zealot with dual Dream items. It was pretty boss, Grief Phase Blade and a Fortitude armour meant that regular physical damage was top notch and the 1-7005 Holy Shock damage on top was just gravy at taking out Physical Immunes.
I believe it also had around 65%-70% Deadly Strike so it was hitting for 6000+ physical damage more often than not
