Bowazons don't need melee or running dodges, just the ranged attacks when standing still.

For Gear go:

Weapon: AMN 8% WF (Yes, trust me)
Ring 1: Ravenfrost (20 dex)
Ring 2: Ravenfrost (20 Dex)
Amulet: Highlords
Boots: Gore Riders
Gloves: Dracul's Grasp
Belt: Razortail
Armor: 60% IAS
Helm: Mav Helm (Ias, nice regeneration)

Weapon 2: CTA

Merc:
Eth Reaper's toll. About 650 Damage, about 12% ll, good chance for decrepify- awesome awesome weapon for a merc.
Gaze / Shaft

20 Guided
20 MS
20 Valkrie
1 Pierce
1 Dodges
Rest in Critical Strike / Magic Arrow
1 Freezing Arrow (crowds- only do this if you ahve alot of +skills)

hmm it all depends on what frame u at.

If u need IAS armor for godly frame, go for it. But COH gives u resist.. jus remember that.

 

[shadow887]

wf has very fast attack speed (20% more)
+15 from bow ias
+15 from helm ias
+20 from ias gloves
+20 from highlords

=very fast attack speed +70% more ias

what i need for max speed?

also what are best 1.10 useast ladder zon rings?

 

[Kao]

My Zon, if I were to build her would be something like:

WF (Amn)
60% IAS Armor
20% Highlords
20% Gloves
30/45% Helm
10%/0% Belt

As you can see, Kao is a speed phreak for zons. Hell, fux resists when you can shoot so ****ing fast you leech back in insane amounts.

My Zon right now has 38% BASE LL. With Life Tap, thats 88%. Why do you need resists when you leech and hit that damn much?

FYI: Guided + Might = 6200
MS + Might = 4600 or so.

 

[shadow887]

what is life tap? and what do you thing best rings are?

 

[Kao]

Life tap is a curse- when its on an enemy, players get a bonus of 50% Life Leech on physical attacks.

IMO the best rings for you are 2 20 Dex Ravenfrosts. AR + Dex is just awesome for you. But, if you want to succumb to using dupes, then shame on you.

 

[shadow887]

allright thx. what are you getting life tap from? im not going to use dupes :/

 

[Kao]

Dracul's Grasp- Unique Vampirebone Gloves (Elite).

Oh yes.

Strafezon pwns all in pvm, I've tested her at hell and does insane damage with her merc and valk.

[shadow887]

[irdamage]

um, because a GOOD fire sorc's fireball will kill you in one shot.

it might be useful to have 1 point in valkyrie, just in case you get chased and need a meat decoy once in a while.

as for fps breakpoints on windforce, you get 9fps at 89%ias, 8fps at 147%ias, and it's pretty much impossible to get the 292%ias to hit 7fps so don't bother trying.

resists are needed when you come across physical-immune elemental-attack monsters. try a black soul or hell temptress. I wouldn't depend on the life tap since it's only a 5% chance it'll cast.
