zealer and PI

well, i just finished building my very first zealer.
all i can say is that he rocks pvm, and sucks pvp =D
normal monster stands no chance again him and he can own a 8ppl trav solo without a sweat while my hammerdin even have trouble with it sometimes in a 2-3ppl rush game
other than getting casted IM on, dying seems impossible, but everytime i do chaos, he dies like the lvl 2x =D

but here is my question, while normal monster stand no chance, he can't see to touch PI at all.
i have put 1 put into vengeance b/c i thought it's a elemental attack and should take care of the PI monsters.. however, even with vengeance.. those PI monsters don't see to lose any life.

did i do something wrong?

any help would be great
 
Sounds very similar to my own experience with my Zealot. As far as PIs go, either equip a nice elemental weapon for your merc and stand back and let him do the work, or just grab a nice elemental weapon to swap to when needed (azurewrath, famine, etc based on budget).

I otherwise just rely on Zeal along with the tiny elemental damage from random gear, along with the Holy Freeze aura from my merc, and the Holy Shock from his helmet. It is a bit slower, but it means I can turn my brain off while playing. ;)
 
well, since i am on nl right now.
a dream helm might be troublesome to get.
but i guess i could keep a azurewarth or something like that in my inv and when needed grab it and do the job.

1 point wasted in vengeance ? T.T


EDIT:
lol need 3 more lvls before i can even use azu =D
 
find a sorc orb or necro wand with a ton of elemental damage and put it on your switch

i once found 1 with something like 1-500 light dmg, 200-300 cold and 50-350 fire :) zeal with that and it should take care of PI's althought you may have to repair it a lot
 
so, non of my skill is usefully to break PI? lol that sux

oh and another question.

am i suppose to suck this bad at pvp? lol.. it seems that i get owned by every class and every character no matter what they are...

one cs.. pop..
2 fire ball.. pop..
a smite or charge.. pop..
lol it's kinda annony since i got over 2k life, over 1kdef and my 500life bowa can take more hits. well maining due to avoid and those.. but still..i am getting owned too easily.

could it be my gears? i followed the 1point smiter for uber guide so i guess maybe it's because of my gears.
 
1k defence is nothing - average paladin should be able to get 10-20k easily

have you maxxed holy shield?

zealers need a TON of attack rating to be good at pvp (we're talking 20k minimum)
 
nope, still havn't done my skill quests so 12 more skills points for me without any more lvling.

only got about 8k ar lol.. what should i use to get more? anglic ammy and ring?
 
Put a reapers toll on the merc. Decrep breaks most PI's. Barb merc with Doom bringer works as well.

Other wise, other solutions is a 6 socket phase blade full of thundering jewels or a rare sword with good elemental damage socketed with a thundering or even a lightsabre socketed with the same.
The beauty of the phase blade is the base 31-35 base damage plus strength is all of about 100 points of physical damage and may be used with IM castors. Phase blade should be quick enough to zeal at 8/4 fps without fanatism so you can use the weapon for both scenario's, anti PI and IM.

Lanceor's guide is nice, but doesn't mention the 6 os phase blade full of elemental damage which I would have thought would be a prime choice for a very cheap anti IM & PI's for those who can't afford rift/famine/etc.
