But that would also lower the amount of thp that you can amass, meaning you have less wiggle room. Having that curse resistance (+20% hp amulet) also get’s you over that sweet spot of 100 hp, meaning ‘Heart of Iron’ won’t procc from one overhead (on legend, or a swipe from elites on cata). Taking ‘Calloused Without and Within’ can’t give you the same result, eg.
What about quickplay, which most people that run into this problem are playing?
You can’t pick qp Waystalker’s talents as you can with bots, you can’t force them to not take the grim when GK has the right Duty (or in this case, wrong Duty). And some of them are so new to the game/uneducated about mechanics, but are trying to be helpful, that they will heal the Zealot no matter what. Even writing everyone in chat that you don’t want to be healed doesn’t matter if they don’t read the chat. And i like to play standard legend and helping newer players out, most don’t respond at all, but some are very interested and stay for a couple of games, asking stuff. From time to time i want to play Zealot, and those autoheals are highly impractical to his passive ‘Fiery Faith’ and the talents ‘Castigate’ and ‘Holy Fortitude’. In my opinion there must be an exception for stuff like this, and i can only think of one other impractical situation where a passive get’s blocked (Mercenary’s ‘No more Laughin’ Now’ by ‘Hellborg’s Tutelage’).
There has to be an easier solution for this.
