Its fairly hard to make any variation of a zealot that has a decent amount of mf. I have attempted to change out some of my gear on a couple of my zealots for mf gear and it has generally not been sucsessful.

IMO, (some of the things i have tried) the best rought is to maximize cb on your gear with as few items as possible. Both builds are going to be about equal in mf capabilities. Generally both builds use almost the same gear and thus you will be substituting out the same gear on both.

Here are a few Changes you can make to the standard gear that will not affect your dmg potential or servivability too much.

Change:

Goreriders > War Travs
Helm > Shako
Wep switch > Baba (with cb you should be able to sliver them and then attemp to kill with the baba.
Hoz > Rhyme
Armor > Enigma :grrr: or Skullders (if you go with skulders you will want um instead of ist.

Thats what Im comming up with off the top of my head. Ill think about it some more...

MF-ing in Hell with a frost zealot can be tough becuase in order to ensure that you can kill EVERYTHING, you need two things:

a) crushing blow
b) +skill items

I currently have a lvl 91 frost zealot on USWest (SC) and find that he has NO TROUBLE at all (except of course Iron Maiden). His MF is low...so I imagine that if you focused on obtaining high lvls of crushing blow and maintaining a decent +skills, you would sacrifice on MF.
 
Thanks guys.
Now what is the optimum build TOTALLY, do you think, for hell?

Hammerdin?
I have one, but I find that the hammer spiral mechanic becomes annoying in several situations: a single enemy, or a small area.

My current preference is Frost Zelot, mainly because his elemental and physical damage are on par, and high enough to really stomp if the right items are added.

Now then: I possess both Barnars star and Lightsabre...
Which should I be using?
What is the weapon to aim for?


Thanks for the feedback

If you are sticking with pallys, I would say yes a hammerdin is going ot be your best bet.

As far as weapons go, I would use the Ls. The Ls will only take 55 ias to get it to 4 fps zeal on your frost zealot. This will allow you to deliver more hits and thus more chances to have cb trigger. The bstar on the other hand will require you to add 40 ias just to hit the 5 fps.

As far as end game weapons, you will do fine with both of those. Choosing something else is all dependant on what youare trying to achieve and how much money you want to spend.

2 choices for weapon are Nords Tenderizer. Huge cold damage there to add on top of yours from Holy Freeze. Also Heavens light is good but is slow and has no range. It has +skills to raise aura damage and you could put 2 shaels in it to up the ias.
