Both zdps Crusaders and WD are currently required for high level group GR. If you don't have a consistently optimized team to play with and/or play with randoms, I would say a zdps WD is best to have as locking down elites is probably the most important thing. The WD is slightly harder to gear as they usually run a Star Metal Kukri for weapon, which is rare. However, some zdps WD have started using Solaniums and stacking crit chance to spawn health globes, which makes gearing easier.
Got my smk, my tiki mask, xephi ammy and stuff. Got the legendary shield, illusory boots and xephi (i'm missing swiftmount, for realz, para635 and no swiftmount...)
I do preffer playing with the WD, is way more fun and relaxed playstyle but i don't mind using the crusader, the thing is that pulling mobs with the horse chains isn't really working in some maps (open areas are ok, but anything else is a cluster fuck)
Ok, maybe i'm dumb and i can't play sader the way is ment to be played but IMO wd is more enjoyable.
Also, if you're running the ring that gives you %mov. speed when fearing and enemy you're gonna be like the roadrunner.
PS: Yes, it works like a charm without smk, you're not gonna be as requested but still doable to run G45s.
zDPS is a build focused on utility and support in groups that is typically incapable of doing the personal damage normally required for that level but is useful in groups for utility and buffs.
Hi guys!
What is the best class to Zdps in top GR?

This season i created a zdps wd and a crusader.

Zero Damage Per Second
zDPS is a build focused on utility and support in groups that is typically incapable of doing the personal damage normally required for that level but is useful in groups for utility and buffs.
Edit:
A zDPS WD will focus on shutting down affixes by use of Horrify and Piranhado, plus adding Big Bad Vodoo buff.
A zDPS crusader focuses on Laws buffs and grouping mobs with Steed Charge and Condemn. Can also use Shield Glare and other abilities.
These, especially in combination, can let DH go FULL glass cannon leading to overall higher DPS and survivability for the group.
Daym I even got it on my DH oO
