Bowazon or Javazon

[Induhvidual_1]

Okay, so which is better for pvp, cuz they say bowazon was nerfed, but im not sure about javazon.

so... Bowazon or Javazon?

Thx in advance

NOTE: i have never made a zon before

hybrid/javazon

 

[ArcaneLegend]

id say javazon, since jav skills have been greatly improved.

 

[Kao]

Hybrid amazons BLOW HARD. I have a LF + guided one, and her guided, even with upgraded 194% Ballista blows....

 

[ArcaneLegend]

yes Kao is right. i myself have a lvl90 hybrid LF/Guided zon...barely survives a bloody run in hell.

 

[Kao]

Damn, 90? Mine is 82. I'm thinking of deleting her and making a Pure LF one for Pindle Runs.....

 

[aphextwin]

java fo sho

 

[Induhvidual_1]

Okay so the javazon is gonna be LF or poison, or is it gonna be something else???

Thx all

 

[ArcaneLegend]

well...im trying to make a lightning/psn one. (http://battleforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57901)

its around lvl 55 now and so far its doin pretty well.

 

[Bahu767]

damn

Id say definatly Bowazon, later in the game being able to hit multiple enemies from a distance comes in handy, especially in nightmare.:shoot

 

[ArcaneLegend]

um...most of the javelin skills do hit multiple enemies.

 

[Plumpamania]

ACtually if you MAKE YOUR HYBRID correctly it can work.

Max out Charger Bolt Strike and Light Fury, put 10 into Powerstrike. Max Guided. Put rest into passive skills.

My lvl 82 pwns cows/baal runs/pvp.

 

[fugg]

Javazon for sure, mine pwns, nuff said, tm

 

[Kao]

Ok look- Guided, even with my amazon and her 457 Max Buriza and MAX Guided did 3500, which was not even enough to kill swiftly in hell. Don't bother with bows unless you have about 30 billion LADDER sojs to spend.

 

[Stryder]

You need at least around 200-300 dex to do good dmg..

 

[Flaming_Newbie]

javazon is the way to go in pvp. Even if the people have absorb you can to fury on theym and still do phisyical damage.

 

[ArcaneLegend]

my hybridzon had 300 BASE dex and the dmg still sucked.

 

[djnat]

You can go 4 the "only dmg" solution (pure bowazon, of course, in pvp Javazons suck a lot).

Stats:

Str 4 your bow
Vita base
Energy base
Dex all the rest.

Skills:

20 Guided
20 Crit strike
a lot of points into the 3 dodge abilities (you must have min 50%, better if more, chance to avoid...in each of these skills)
1 in Valk
1 pre-reqs
All the rest into penetrate to boost your AR.

Gear (I've tried it, and it's fine):


BotD sup (1x% ed) crusader bow
160ED / 60IAS armor with a lot of life (80+)
War travs
Verdungo 15%
ED / IAS Shako
Gloves with good stats 4 ama
Cats eye
Perfect Raven
1 crafted ring with good stats (life leech has been nerfed in pvp, so loose it).

Annihilus
39 sc's with life / max.


Switch: Call to arms weapon + Lidless (+1 to your warcries).


If you want to use a WF, Shael it and use gloves with amazon skills and 20% ias to reach your BP.

Enjoy.

Don't count out a bowazon yet. Although the guided above is great.. its not what i call "affordable" .

You can own in pvp wearing the standard wf/shaft/travs, etc.

Its all about tactics. Most people claim that zons suck in 1.10. Although they are not as effective they still pack a punch. I feel that most 1.09 zons were n00bs and had no strategy, because my bowa still owns some synergy builds.

Anyways, It's probably because they are dumb and stand in one place while being attacked.

 

[djnat]

Well, the Zon I've designed above is for Euro-PvP, where the dmg reduction allowed on a Zon is 25% max (so you can't wear shaft).

And a WF is not so cheap.

The ED / IAS + life armor owns as it did in 1.09.
