Zealot or runepriest

[Cottonwoodz]

Whats a better solo dps spec for a fresh start?

[AxelF]

Zealot hands down in their current states.

[Alubert]

Both are good but zealot have better pudle buffs and the best m1 in the game.

[Demonito]

Zealot hands down in their current states.

Why please and where ? (solo roam/sc...)

Never played RP; Tried recently solo Zeal with Bloodlord, the dps is excellent
However healer patch removed the instant cast of Scourged Warping tactic, wasn't it a core strat for kiting ?
Even if RP doesn't have m1, Rune of Fulmination is 1k3+378 resis debuff ; Changer's Echo is simply 600dmg
Sundered Motion / Stoutness of Stone / Ancestral Inheritance ... just checking now, RP have crazy tac
(and spells apparently have slightly better stats)
Worst is RP Immolating Grasp tactic, that grants infinite snare at 100feet range
A nightmare for a destro mdps. Zealot doesn't have any slow while RP can have 2 more
Not sure either if rituals are best with zealot, the RP +240 toughness/anti snare is quite good

Is m1 the main advantage ?
Dps Zealot was great few times I tried (easier than sorc at least) but RP looks way better (for solo)
