Zeal Sorceress

The Zeal Sorceress is an extremely unconventional melee build that uses the Passion runeword to grant Zeal attacks to a Sorceress. This creates a unique hybrid melee fighter that combines rapid Zeal attacks with Enchant for massive fire damage and Energy Shield for survival. While challenging and expensive, it offers one of the most distinctive "battle mage" experiences - a sorceress who fights like a Paladin while wielding fire magic.
