Can you synergize CtC?

20 Blessed Aim
20 FoH
20 Sanctuary
20 Cleansing
20 Zeal
1 Holy Shield

Zeal wearing the Principle armor. If you can synergize the level 5 Holy Bolt you will be doing about 1k Holy Bolt damage. Using that equipment, you could make a stellar character to MF Pindle. I think he would drop like a sack of potatoes with those skills. Anyways, thanks for your help in advance.
 
Yes you can synergise CTC spells. It's the premise behind a few melee Necro builds (synergising the Bone spells on Oath, Bonehew or Bone armor).

HOWEVER: your build is pretty messed up. There are a lot of things that I just don't get.

One thing: Sanctuary doesn't need 20 points. It's bugged, so the +dmg% to undead DOESN'T WORK. Too bad on that idea. All it does now is knockback, and ignores physical resistance of undead. Pindle and friends have 50% physical resist in Hell, so I guess that counts for something. But the ignore-resist property of Sanctuary works the same at level 1 as it does at level 50. More skill points only means: bigger radius, and slightly more pulse damage.

Secondly, why 20 in Cleansing? it has terrible diminishing returns, and a 1 point Cleansing is enough to flash up when you're cursed/poisoned. If you want to run it as your main aura (as in an Ambulance-din), then it's still only worth 1 point, but with Prayer maxed instead to give you that life regen. But that's another story altogether.

Holy Bolt's damage synergies are FoH and Blessed Hammer. Not Blessed Aim as you mentioned. Just a minor detail, I guess. A 20 point Blessed Hammer is very weak without it's crutches, synergies and Concentration (can you say "less than 200 damage"?). So it's only really useful as a synergy to a level 5 CTC skill.

And personally, I'd only get Zeal to slvl 4, and throw those other points insto Sacrifice. 12% damage per point versus 6% damage and 10% AR, it's your call though.

To be quite honest, for pure Pindle running, you're probably better off actually casting Holy Bolt yourself. I mean, for 60 points, you've got yourself a 5k+ damage behemoth, at a paltry 3.5 mana per cast... which is going to be a lot bigger than 840-1008 damage added to each Zeal hit.
 
Alright, well, thank you.

I'll just use Fantism for more attack rating/speed instead of Sanctuary.

20 Cleansing was a synergy for Sanctuary, not for actual use.

My bad, typo on the Blessed Aim instead of Hammer, sorry about that. You must be just lost out of your mind.

The idea was that 100% chance to cast Holy Bolt * 6.2 attacks per second at 4 frame zeal, and no, I won't hit everytime and to my knowledge you need to hit in order for chance to cast on striking means you have to connect. So, we'll say about 5 Holy Bolts per second. I think even at 125% FCR you don't shoot off 5 Holy Bolts per second but then again, I'm not too sure.

The point of more Zeal is purely for the AR. I won't be doing much physical damage (maybe just enough to leech from).
 
Why dun u just make a hunger werebear using azurewrath? You can leech from undead too and hunger is like a confirmed life tap everytime you bite hehe You can have summons, shockwave, might merc and HOW too ^^

p.s Oops maybe O/T but just an idea ^^
