Zealots is the sustained damage output and depending on the environment, balthazars aura is more of a temporary augmentation. Energy gain aside, the nice thing about the smiter is that it compliments a warrior well, being able to remove the conditions from him, add damage to everything near the warrior, and cover for incidental damage via reversal of fortune, which also doubles as a cover enchantment for balthazars and judge's insight (if you use JI).
A mo/e, could use balthazar's as the sustained damage, while doing short spikes with zealots, but since balthazars could be removed it is more risky.
