The Zealot Paladin in Diablo 2 Resurrected is a powerful building. The Zealot effortlessly slaughters legions of demons and the powerful uber-bosses. He's a jack of all trades, suited to any farm strategy.
The Zealot Paladin build uses Fanaticism/Alacrity to deal physical damage. This building is not immune to damage in most cases. Its simple playstyle and high damage are extremely beginner friendly. The Zealot also doesn't require ultra-rare gear, making this build a solid choice for the early to mid-ladder.
