I think you can't skip Zealot Charge, no matter what build you're running.

Can you add one I've had success with in QM....I consider it the bruiser/peeler build.

your goal is *not* to run after their valla. instead focus on their tanks/melee characters. peel for you damage dealers. if someone gets past you towards the squishies THEN use phase prism to get in front and body block. of course prism can help if u can target a squishy. keep AA their melee characters who WONT RUN FROM YOU. they will die fast after lvl 16 def.

reactive parry
(generally an AA is picked. marksman if no AAer)

lethal alacrity
(no better option. this gets you back to AA faster and gives you more reach. good for wave clear. I think Templar's Zeal is overrated. Below 50% you need to be AA, not charging all over the place. Charging is a strategic choice.)

follow through
(*amazing* this beings the bruiser aspect. don't focus on blade dash again, you need to be AA and triple striking)

ult depends on the enemy comp
(Blind if enemy has a lot of AA of course, and Purifier if you need to force one person out of the way)

triple strike
(bruiser and defensive option in one. synergizes with next tier.)

titan killer
(more organized comps can use the 25% damage increase one but in QM not possible. titan killer is *amazing* damage. it melts the front line)

generally force of will or in special circum the ult enhancer
(force of will completes the tank aspect. the ult enhancers are reallly situational. blind enhance is not necessary. purifier beam only if you can secure a kill. force of will is consistent though)

Artanis without charge = bad build and dash is too slow ... = not useful at all

It depends on your play style, if you read the guide he also mention other builds that can be considered. Dunno why pplo tends to get mad when different builds are proposed, as each one as its pros and cons... usually this kind of pplo who dont want to adapt / change tend to blame others when losing...

I really like the charge also but in coordinated team fights, Psionic Wound can be more useful. I don't have much problems so far with the speed of dash, although I've included a build which makes good use of the extra 30% too. I've found having twice more dash below 50% health weighs against a faster dash depending on the situation. Either are viable picks.

and having more dashes + each hero dmg by dash reduce shield CD, you have a tanky artanis. I think is a good build, will test it tomo when he gets available in free rotation

Nexus Blades Trusty blades on a Protoss zealot, yes please! If you take Purifier Beam and it isn't ending up killing enemy's take this as your lvl 20 upgrade and watch your dps shoot through the roof. It will lower your shield CD 20% faster.


I would like to point out that this version of Nexus Blades does not affect your Attack Speed, but rather your Damage and causes a slow. Thus is does NOT reduce the cooldown on your D on it's own. BUT, does still boost your DPS and allows your W to hit like a train!

A small detail, imo, but still worth noting. That being said, I am enjoying what you've got so far, and will check in often for your updates :)
