"MF" Zon Help

[tuxor]

Hey, I'm going to make a zon, and I plan on doing Cows with her, a lot. But not exclusively, Pit would be a good place to run as well. What would the best build for this be? I'm thinking Titan's/SS or Spirit and Faith GMB on switch

All suggestions are appreciated :grin:

[Evrae Altana]

I suggest a Strafe/LF hybrid.

i tried to edit, but then i went to dinner, so the time expired, here's the updated post:Alright, I have a PvM bowzon, but I don't really use it for much, it was supposed to be a Chaoser, but it can't really handle >2 person games with any shred of speed. So, my plan is to convert it into a Javazon for running Cows, or anything else. I've found that with my bowzon, I can run cows, but I think it would be faster with a Javazon. If not, someone tell me so I don't keep checking this thread. Also, what equipment would I use? I'm thinking:
Shako
Titan's
Highlords?
CoH?
SS? or Spirit?
Tgods
Waterwalks?
2jav/20ias gloves with other mods
2x ravens? or 1x raven and BK
Ztorch

and yeah Evrae, I think i might make one of those, although in my experience, pits not worth the time it takes when i can get do cows in about same time

I suggest a Javazon with high pierce. It will be highly effective for both cows, and pits, and you wont kill the king :grin: . You make a LF/CS (lightning javazon), and you get some points in pierce, atleast one. Here is the best equip, but the equip you suggested would be fine

Griffons (facet)
Highlords
CoH
Eth Titans/ SS (light facet)...spirit might be fine
(cta/ spirit or lidless) <---on switch
Waterwalk boots (some say gore, but your phys dmg isn't going to be incredibly high, so i say go for the life, FRW, and resis)

Tgods
Ravenfrost, Soj (or 2 raven if you want)
20 ias, 2 java gloves (3 aren't legit, but if u can get em...wait can you? nvm)
Gcs
Torch
anni

keep in mind that this is just kinda a side character that i'm going to make out of my bowzon equipment. I figured that a 13/2/3 gmb faith, fort, and the rest of my gear will cover it. it's just for socketable-hunting in cows to help fund my PvP zealot, and maybe some light PvP action in pubs or something. also, how well would this build do in chaos? what if I got an infinity merc for it and got some jav gcs?

and i'm on US East Ladder, so any dupes aren't really available, permed ones at least.

if you only have a few points in pierce then a razortail will be a better belt to use...+3 gloves are legit...magic +3/20ias are what you should be trying to shop....if you are just doing cows then you won't have to worry about resists.

OP...if you plan on doing pits too then i would recommend a strafe/lf hybrid.

Should I even do this lol? I mean I have a hammerdin, he killed king, but I can always remake, althought i don't want to, because we've been through a lot together heh

i just figured this would be a cheap quick way to convert a character I don't use much into one that can farm socketables and some other stuff easily and quickly so i can get wealthier, in turn paying for my zealot. it's a vicious cycle

Those socketables can be extremely helpful, I enjoyed running cows when I had my light fury zon. A hybrid bow/lightning could be a blast in pvm.

I would go with a Lightning Fury (LF) zon to easily run Hell Cows SOLO in a 8 player game.
