Couple of skill rants

(you know I was talking about 1.09 right?)

Lets imagine you have a weapon that does 100 average damage and 300 average elemental damage. And plus 5 to all skills.

Fanatacism with zeal-
100=base, 458=Fanatacism, 2=zeal, 300=elemental damage from weapons, 642=vengeance, 1.35=fanatacism speed, 2.5 convition multiplier or elemental damage

[{(100) (4.58) + 300}2] 1.35 = 2050

Fanatacism with vengeance

[100(4.58 + 6.42) + 300)] 1.35 = 1940

Conviction with zeal

[100 + (300) 2.5 ] 2 = 1700

Conviction with vengeance

100 + {100(6.42) + 300}2.5 = 2355


Ok I used a rather low powered weapon for an example, with a 2 hundred damage weapon venance conviction becomes much more powerful. It didn bother figuring out hell 1.09 physisical ressists, but that hardly effects vengence/conviction. Also unless you use ITD the conviction avanger with hit much more than the zealot.

I also didnt bother with holy shock builds - they have signifigantly lower damage.

With a good weapon an avenger using conviction with fanatacism for leach is the most powerful Paladin, and a very easy one to build.
