PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Rapta111 - 09-12-2004

I'm lookin for a guide on this. Anyone have any ideas? I'm lookin for around 2k+ average damage.


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Rapta111 - 09-13-2004

Err... anyone?


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Rapta111 - 09-13-2004

*bump* 3 consecutive posts... Come on, people!


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Silver Ice - 09-13-2004

u mean a pvp zon? i know those for equipment wise


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - 66xerox66 - 09-13-2004

why u wanna make a PVM zon ?? they are useless ... anyway PVP zon can kill monster too Smile


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Rapta111 - 09-14-2004

Cuz I want a build that can allow PvM bowazons kill in PvP situations too. And pure physical allows for purists like me to come into play Smile

And I'm ****in sick of duelling with my PvP bowazon... its boring and too easy to play. I wanna go PvP for a change :p

err... PvM


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Grave - 09-14-2004

dnt build them build a hammerding


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Demonic - 09-14-2004

ok i had a pretty good PvM/PvP strafe/guided zon

Stats-
Strength-Enough for gear
Dex-Rest here
Vit-80-120
Energy-None

Gear

40/15 Gaze Helm

40/15 Wf Weap

Low strght Stone Armour

Arach Belt

Cats Eye Ammy

Natures Peace/Raven Frost Ring

Vampbraces Gloves

Gore Riders Boots


Skills

Max Strafe
Max Guided
Max Valk-For tanking while PvM
Rest into dodge

my zon did about 2k+


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Grave - 09-14-2004

2k is weak...


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Silver Ice - 09-14-2004

no offense demonic, but that build sucks..... ill post a good one once i get enough time

ok here we go

gear:
armor: 160%ed/60% ias archon plate either of the whale or with hit recovery
helm: 120%ed/45% ias bone visage
bow:08 40/15% ias wf
boots: eth or normal sandstorm treks
gloves: +2 to bow skills 3/3 duel leech knockback gloves
belt:verdungoes or string of ears
rings
2x ravenfrost (try for 2 +20 to dex rings)
if u dont want 2 ravenfrosts try using bug raven spiral for one, or bk ring
ammy: cats eye (+25 to dex) or imp brow (godly 08 barb/zon ammy)
weapon 2: cta flail
shield for weapon 2: obviously lidless
inventory: 3-20-20s and lots of them+ anni

stats: (this is using 160/60 120/45 2x ravenfrosts and imp brow)
now, your highest str item is obviously wf, so what str do u need? well lets see
wf requires 134 str
subtract 10 str from anni
subtract 10 str from treks
subtract 19 str from imp brow
134-39=95 str required....+1 for the bone visage and verdungo requirement =96 str maximum

now a zon starts with 20 str. meaning u add 76 points to str and u are finished.

next is vitality.

now since ill be using a verdungoes belt, ill get a nice amount of +30 to vitality minimum, +10 vit from treks, +10 vit from anni, since a zon gains 3 life per vit point, my life will be at 50x3=150 from those items. since my zon will be at lvl 91 or higher when completed, 91x2 life per lvl= 182 life+50 life from start+150 life from items=382 life+60 life from the potion quests on each difficulty= 422 life. now 422 life isnt very much so their must be more added
90 lvls x5 stat points=450+15 from le esens= 465 points for stats subtract 76 for str, and 389 points are left over. i can easily say that 250 points for dex will suffice, giving u 139 points to put into ur vitality. 139x3=417 life+ 422 life= 839 life for ur zon. feel free to either sacrifice life for more damage, or vice versa.....
now the base stats should look like this when ur nearing completion
str:96
dex:275
vit:159
nrg:15

with items, your total dex added is a minimum of 30-40 from 2 frosts+ 35 from 08 wf= 65-75 more dex+10-20 from anni= 75-85 more dex giving u 275+75 275+85=350-360 dex with items

and for energy: add none to it. u will have around 3% from gloves, and 6-7 from imp brow (cant remember right now)

as for skills...
max guided arrow, pre req's
put some points into multi arrow, put the rest into passive skills like evade, avoid, and possibly some into critical strike. how u place your skills depends on how you duel. if you usually run.... stop.... fire.... run stop fire.... max avoid and evade.. and put some into dodge...... put a point into slow missile just to **** some necros off Smile

anything i missed?
tell me

Alternatives? I was thinking about gaze/andys and CoH. I really HATE those items, not sure why :p

And what about like Up'd Buriza, or even Angelic Ring/Ammy?

And 2k Average, not 2k max. 2k max is easily achievable, but 2k average, not so much, since using WF gives like 45 to your weapon minimum damage.

Oh, and you didn't say anything about strafe.


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Silver Ice - 09-15-2004

uped buriza is slow...... zons dont need ar for angelic ring/ammy

none of those items even give ias except andy


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Rapta111 - 09-15-2004

So what about Mav's helm?


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Silver Ice - 09-15-2004

30% ias is alright. but it doesnt have any str or dex


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Rapta111 - 09-16-2004

What about when usin other pieces of the set?


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Silver Ice - 09-16-2004

http://www.diabloii.net/items/item_sets/x_mavinas.shtml 3 items gives u 30 dex


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Rapta111 - 09-16-2004

Ok thanks Smile


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Silver Ice - 09-16-2004

no problem... as to stay on topic, does anyone know how effective strafe is now? i maxed all bow skills and strafe does like 13% ed at lvl 20


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - Rapta111 - 09-17-2004

Note: With level 20 strafe, you shoot 10 arrows, but if you aim them at a single target, only 7 will hit.


PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide - DeadInside.DOA - 09-17-2004

Besides WF you might try a WWS. Which you choose depends on your playing style. Also I feel sorry for the two that said dont build a bowazon cause they suck. Bowazons make great pit runners. These forums are filled with simple minded people. Good luck with zon.
