bow amazon help please

[weiyang]

i got lucky and made a perfect fort armor and a +1 faith gmbow and now i'm thinking about making a bow amazon but i have no idea what stats or skills to use. after reading the zon forum i think i'm gonna put 15 multi, max guided, divide 20 points between dodge, invade, and avoid. some in critical strike and some in pierce.
i have the following possible equipments to use.
helm = unique grim helm or suggestion
body = fort archon plate
ring = raven frost, dual leech ring
ammy = highlords or catseye or atmas
belt = verdungos or razortail
gloves = laying of hand or dracs

someone please tell me which equipment is the best for the zon.

also i've asked around on b.net about stats and some people told me to go all vit and some say go all dex and then there are some who say go 100 vit and rest on dex. what do you think is the best for a pvp zon stat-wise?

thanks.

I don't know how you know zons or how you intend to duel with one, but there's no 100% successful way of making a good pvp bowzon. There are various ways you can make one and be good vs some and not so good vs some other opponent. Some also make a hybrid zon with most into bow and some into javalin skills for melee.

What I usually preffer is make a zon with base vit&energy, enough str for bow and rest dex --> so dex should be 5xx in the end. The loss of life is then covered by fortitude armor, life scs and CTA of course. Ideally you will be exceeding 1k life with BO and that's quite a decent start.

Next is skills which I place so that I have critical&ga maxed, 1 decoy&valk, and rest is spent into d/a/e. Multi doesn't realyl need more than 1 pt because you get some +skills from faith, anni and torch but it also depend on your play style.

My gear setup would be like:
helm = M'avs with 15edias jewel or 120/45
body = Fortitude
ring = 2xraven frost or 1x raven + other ring depending on enemie
ammy = catseye
belt = nosferatus
gloves = 20ias/+2passive/Knockback...

Ofc my recommendations here are for PVP zon as you asked, for a PVM zon I'd not make such a setup.

zons don't need DR

The level of Fanaticism on your bow is the most important thing in your setup. If it's too low, you'll need to wear Sigon's boots + gloves (bah :/) to cover the IAS needed for 7fpa while still being able to wear fort.

I'm sure it's all covered in the guides, if not, check the IAS calculators at 'that german site' for more info.
