What to do with my zon?

[comicalmischief]

I'm kinda new here..so bare with me if you can.

I have a level 75 zon that really isn't cutting it in hell. Terrible resistances, damage isn't too hot..
Right now, she's using her Buriza (192%ed), and I use Guided or Multishot.
Coming here, Strafe seems popular. Should I consider putting points into that this late?
Speaking of that, what DO I put my points into now?
Like I said, I have Guided and Multishot, Valk, and some into Dodge and Avoid.

I can't say my equipment is too good..
Buriza
Atma's Wail
Crown of Thieves
Rare Ammy (+1 zon skills and 32%mf. Woo!)
ThudnerGod's Vigor
5% mana steal ring and Manald Heal
Tearhaunch
Frostburns

I do know I really need a good equipment upgrade. What are some recommendation for all that? I'm thinking I might be a little more mf orientated, but I'm not sure how well zons do with that...

SO! Help me out Dii Forums! :thumbsup:

EDIT: Ah, I better include this.

Without items, my stats are
121 str
239 dex
70 vit
15 ener
(I probably put way too much into dex)

With items:
146
319
90
15

I would not put points into strafe now. Use multi instead. It's either/or with those two skills.

Your dex is not too high, unless you die a lot. Dex adds damage to a bowazon. Vit can be added to if you do die a lot from here on out.

Where do you play, Bnet or single player? If Bnet, check our giveaway thread in this forum for some gear. We have people who are kind enough to give some stuff away that either they do not use or are finished using. If single player, I may have some stuff for you since I played SP for many years before venturing into Bnet.

with untwinked equipment you should expect a buttwhoopin in hell at lvl 75....start to worry when you hit the high 80's and you you are still having problems....resistances are always a big problem on amazons....if you have done your forges maybe you have the runes to make a lionheart or smoke armour....keep your eyes open for a 4 os matri bow for a harmony...that should be able to knock down any phys immunes you run into and you may prefer it to your buriza...any source of ias will help you out too...sometimes it is better to use a faster, lower damage bow especially at a lower lvl...i prefer the buriza only on very high lvl zons....its damage can even come close to a wf at very high char lvls

if this is softcore and you don't mind a few deaths....pump all of your remaining pts into dex.....every pt of dex=1%ed on a zon

Hmm..Should I absolutely wait for a 4os Matriarch bow? I have a 4os Rune Bow..

Well, it doesn't really matter right now anyway, I gotta get sol and ko still :rolleyes:

Did you do your Anya quests yet? For added damage, you can switch out Tearhaunch for Wartravs, although you'll lose out on the resists on Tearhaunch, but the added damage might be worth it. Also, ditch the Frostburns and use a pair of gloves with 20 IAS (Laying of Hands, Lavagout, etc.).
