TL;DR: Zealot is a Destroyer self-buff that sharply raises Atk. Spd. Paired with Frenzy (which adds damage), it turns the Destroyer into a peak-DPS machine. No mana cost, instant cast, but a long 5-minute cooldown โ€” time it well.

Overview

Zealot is a powerful self-buff for the Destroyer (Berserker after the 3rd class transfer) that dramatically increases attack speed. It is the second half of the Destroyer's legendary combo: Frenzy delivers the damage, Zealot delivers the speed. Together these two skills turn the Destroyer into a machine of destruction with maximum DPS.

Unlike Frenzy, Zealot does not require low HP โ€” you can use it at any moment. On some servers the Zealot duration is extended beyond the base value.

Usage

In PvE, Zealot is used together with Frenzy for fast AoE farming with Whirlwind. The increased attack speed means more frequent skill use and auto-attacks, which significantly raises your DPS. In PvP, Zealot lets the Destroyer land the maximum number of hits in a short window โ€” critically important in duels and mass PvP.

Tips

Use Zealot together with Frenzy for maximum effect โ€” the P.Atk from Frenzy is multiplied by the attack speed from Zealot. The 5-minute cooldown means you need to pick your activation moment carefully. In PvP, pop Zealot before engaging rather than mid-fight โ€” every second counts. Coordinate with a healer who keeps your HP at the critical level Frenzy needs while Zealot boosts your speed.
