I like that 10% dmg to foes who are burning for my torch build, but that’s about it

There’s no reason to go zeal unless you’re running a spirit weapon.

10% increased damage all the time for 10 trait points isn’t bad.

Is the greatsword damage increase and lvl 5 not worth it?

The problem with zeal is there are so many traits in other trees that really do just spit on zeal traits.

There is not much point in going past 10 Zeal, no. Our Greatsword and Scepter traits are pretty lackluster for Majors (just 5% damage increase, and you have to choose one or the other.) We don’t have enough immobilizes for the extra vulnerability (1% damage) to be useful. Past 20 really is just for the Spirit Weapons. You could maybe do 20/20/30/0/0 for increased burst while using Greatsword (symbols applying vulnerability might get 2-3% more damage on the target, and the flat 5% Greatsword damage increase), but in most situations, like sPVP or dungeons, the increased damage on targets with conditions from Radiance’s 25 point minor trait is still most likely more consistent and effects all weapons. Not to mention another 5 points nets you 15% more crit with 1H weapons, in the event that you want to use them for your other weapon set. I personally run Greatsword and Scepter/Torch at the moment.

10% increased damage on burning foes is beast considering bosses are always burning.
15 points spent are pretty good with hammer.
20 points if you play GS.

I’d never go Grandmaster unless increased dmg to symbols get buffed.
