Faith zon dmg...

[AngelOfSin]

I am making a faith zon. I have faith, 120/45, fort and other things. I hear of people getting up to 6k dmg with GA but i can only get to lik 4.6k...is it only because they have a whole inv of 3/20/20's ? I cant think of any other way to get more dmg (i am making on single player editor)...Is my dmg normal for not having charms?

Edit: should i use travs instead of gores? hmmm... ty in advance

pdsc's, thats what people use 37x 100 pdsc = 3,700 dmg added onto GA

[AngelOfSin]

ahh didnt think of that :\. any opinions on using travs or gores?

[Joshy]

Pdscs are garbage, most zons are glass cannon that hit 7k raw damage without poison, at the cost of some life.

You're wrong.

Two ways to make a Bowzon, go for either poison dam or physical dam, don't mix the two. If using Faith, you should really go for physical, so ~30x3/20/20s. Also, have 1 SC with fire damage. I've also seen some people have a few 5%FRW/1-51 light dam SCs. 3/20/20s is where Amazons get their damage from and that's what makes an amazon. Use Gores instead of Travs though.

If you want to go for poison, use WF, however you will be relying on Multiple Shot a lot more and your damage will be significantly lower. Poison may be a little more useful if you do a lot of TvTs, but in a good team you could have different builds with extra auras, hence boosting your damage even more if you go for physical (i.e. Smiter with Fana and Hammerdin with Conc).

Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.

edit: btw if going for Poison, don't max Critical Strike as it is bugged and doesn't work properly with poison damage.

well i am a glass cannon and in the editor iv put about 390-400 dex in and i do 4.6k...i dont think i can afford 3/20/20's (price on eastL?) so i was thinking of pns sc's...and i have heard that crits get messed up with psn so no points on crit strike or can i put one to get to penetrate? and ty for information

You could go with 451 poison small charms for insane poison damage. Say buhbye to your bank account though.

Poison=crap fora a bowazon. The damage being dealt stops and resets every time something is poisoned again. Let's face it claimed poison damage doesn't always equal actual damage dealt. Besides there are a lot of chances with a bowazon that you will hit the target with another arrow or several before the poison duration ends. The extra punc can be nice but its highly overrated and is more of a bragging right for noobs than a useful statistic. In PvM my bowa doing 2.6k strafe(yeah, i need to rm as i wasted points in strength before i had a torch and all my gear) makes those 6k poison bowas look like total pussies.

It's perfectly simple:
1v1
Physical > Poison
TvT (no support characters)
Poison > Physical
TvT (with active supporters)
Poison < Physical
