What is a Zealot?
Zealot in Hebrew is kanahi, but the word is Greek. The term initially was meant to describe a certain sect of Jewish people in the first century CE that had political power and attempted to overthrow control of their people by the Romans. This was especially important in regard to control of Israel, since this was considered to be the seat of Jewish power and their rightful heritage, as passed down by King David. The zealot in the oldest sense applied to many people, who were considered a sect of Judaism. They were first led in the Common Era by Judas of Galilee, who held to the idea that Roman rule was incompatible with Jewish freedom, and that the Jews should be free of Roman control. This culminated, eventually in an actual revolt, the Great Jewish Revolt. Zealots, especially those in the Iudaea Province, captured Jerusalem and were able to hold it until 70 CE. Rome eventually retook Jerusalem, leading to the destruction of the Second Temple. It can’t be questioned that the zealots
A Zealot can be one of two things, a Concentration Zealot or the standard Zealot that uses the awesome speed of Fanatism. The skills you will want to max for your Paladin will mostly likely be Fanatism/Concentration (Depending on the subclass you choose), Zeal, Holy Shield (So you don’t need the extra 50 Dexterity to max block), and Charge. If your creating a Zealot/Templar hybrid, you should substitute charge/holy shield skills for a more versatile Templar approach. Your stat point allocation should always be the following: Strength = Enough to equip the items you use, Dexterity = enough to keep blocking at 75%, Vitality = the rest.
