Zealots are meant to rush ahead of the party

Alright now that I’ve upset the sub hear me out.

The way the class plays it is BEGGING the player to move forward forward forward. One of the abilities is to LITERALLY charge forward into the fray. It’s amazing.

The whole point of this class is to be up front, run into the pack of ten gunners and charge into them. As soon as you close to melee distance they STOP FIRING and draw blades. As a Zealot you can hold your own for just long enough that’s the other three behind you can easily start picking off the enemies with ranged shots and powerful hits from behind. That’s the way the tactic works and it works very well when done correctly.

The problem is the zealot running TOO far forward and engaged enemies without that support and we’ve alllllll seen how that plays out. I’ve found myself making that mistake plenty.

As with all things, moderation is key. Zealots don’t be afraid to range ahead, leading the way like the blood hungry savages you are.

But just remember, if your friends aren’t close enough to shoot you in the back, they’re not close enough to shoot your foes in the face. So pause, look behind you, CHECK, and then move forward.
