Cast Zealot's Fire on yourself, then go run next to a group of enemies and start casting Reversal of Fortune, Orison of Healing, or some similar skill on yourself repeatedly. It will give you the healing AND it will damage the nearby enemies with the fire damage.

Algren Cole · Aug 15, 2005, 05:54 PM // 17:54

a majority of the heal skills you can use on yourself. Unless it says target OTHER ally, that spell/skill can be used on yourself.

Description for Zealot's Fire

Zealot's Fire - Enchantment Spell
For 60 seconds, whenever you use a skill on an ally, all foes adjacent to your target are struck for 5-37 fire damage.

Zealot's Fire is activated every time you use a skill. The damage is done to foes adjacent to the person recieving the skill benefits.

I get the feeling you are asking this question from a solo-monk build standpoint. Pack Healing Breeze, Orison of Healing, Vigorous Spirit. All three of these skills can be used on yourself and activate Zealot's Fire. They are also the three skills you most need when soloing.

yep i tried to but in description of zealots they say that u must use a skill ans reversal is not a "skill" it is "enchantment spell". The only skill i got is holly strike and it is offensive skill which makes it uselles.Or i am a dumb but when they say use skill i think they meaned skill not spell... grrrrr

Hash Mama · Aug 15, 2005, 06:00 PM // 18:00

how about that^^

Enchantment are a type of skill. Every thing you can buy at skill trader, ie what you can fill you "skill" bar are skill. Zealot's will work with everything, I even saw it working with warrior stances!

You cast zealot's fire, than go near your ennemies and cast everything you want, on you, on them, without target, won't matter, you will deal damage to nearby ennemies anyway !

i tried that way but this skills seems not to be a skill type they are all enchantments etc...

enchantment is a type of skill. "Skill" refers to anything on your skill bar.

Zealot's Fire works with Cyclone Axe as well.

Algren Cole · Aug 15, 2005, 06:10 PM // 18:10

like the previous poster said...zealot's fire will activate with pretty much everything in your skill bar. I've seen a few skills that won't activate it...but hell even Mending, Balthazars Spirt and Balthazars Aura activate it....Zealot's Fire activates Zealot's fire. Just use the skill then stand near something and use a different skill....you'll see it take damage away from the foe's in your adjacent radius.

Zealots fire should only do dmg when you use MONK spells aint it?

does not specify in the description "monk only skills"....there are a select number of skills that don't activate Zealot's Fire...most skills do.

Nope. Any skill that targets you (if Zealot's fire is on you of course) will activate Zealot's Fire. As someone said, even warrior stances will activate it.

Just a reminder: a skill is everything that can go in your skill bar. Enchantments, Attacks, Spells, Stances, Nature Rituals, etc are just types of skills.

Mr Zun · Aug 15, 2005, 06:24 PM // 18:24

Well on the description it sais "any" skill so i would guess that means any skill cason yerself

Rey Lentless · Aug 15, 2005, 06:25 PM // 18:25

Zealots fire activates on anyone that's you're using a skill on. Cyclone axe doesn't work.

Skills/spells that target multiple people in your party only will trigger on yourself (like watch yourself or aegis).

The best use of zealots as a main offensive weapon is using fast casting spells with no cooldown and low costs (divine boon and draw conditions).

Hash Mama · Aug 15, 2005, 07:34 PM // 19:34

thx very much i guess reversla of eortune should work properly

Cyclone Axe works. It's a spell that's used on yourself. If you hold CTRL and use Cyclone Axe without any target it'll say "I'm using Cyclone Axe on (your character name here)". So if you have Zealot's on YOURSELF and you use Cyclone Axe, you'll deal more damage. If you use Zealot's on OTHERS, then Cyclone Axe doesn't work.

It's a weird warrior skill.

Now... (I'm not trying to be pesky here, just curious) is a signet as skill, or is it actually a signet?

I always imagine them as being like some kind of bling-bling your character is wearing, which explains why they don't cost energy to use..

Just wondering, because I swear I've seen a couple of things in my skill bar that didn't activate Zealot's, and now that I think about it, they easily could have been signets.

Kamatsu · Aug 15, 2005, 11:05 PM // 23:05

Signet's are Skills.

Taken from the backside of my GW Quick reference. Skill Types: Attack, Spell, Enchantment Spell, Hex Spell, Signet, Preparation, Trap, Shout, Stance, Glyph & Nature Ritual.

Every spell/signet/etc in the game is a skill - it's just that they are seperated into different type's of skills.. but they are still skills. At least thats what the GW Quick Reference & Manual say...

Hash Mama · Aug 16, 2005, 12:43 AM // 00:43

Yes but even here on guru web when u check monk skills there is one "holly strike" which description says it is a SKILL not SPELL or ENCHANTMENT.Thats why i STARTED THIS DISCUSSION

TGgold · Aug 16, 2005, 12:49 AM // 00:49

And we told you that you didn't have to worry about it.

When I run Zealots, I just spam Reversal and Orison while keepign Essense Bond on me to compensate for energy. Then you can use symbol and balth's aura (since they trigger zealots) for a ton of damage around you.
And there is a basic idea for farming.
