1. Intro

Hi. Welcome to my PvP Bearzon Guide. This is a very unique build and is very fun to play. With my own personal experience i mainly have just played this build in pub dueling games because for PvM it severely lacks crowd control. This build is based mainly on the zon's passive skills. You will achieve very high dodge rates as well as stacked dr with SLAMMING damage!

2. Gear

Helm - Shako /w Shael - I use this for obvious reasons: Skills, Life, Mana, Dr, Stats etc... Shael for the 20% fhr (will help you reach the 52% fhr bp)

Armor - Fort - Ed%, Life, Res, Etc... it owns. Get one with 1.5life per level and 30 res. Doesnt really matter what its made in.

Weapons - Main - Griefpb - Get highest stats you can afford. I dont really need to explain this... this weapon slams, period.
Switch - Beast - Because it turns you into a bear :P
CtA - Duh.

Shield - Stormshield - Massive dr, good block, adds str and res too. This shield is the only option. Try to socket it with a 7fhr/9dex/9str/res jool.
Belts - Tgod's - This will be your main belt. Adds massive str, vit. Plus the light res/sorb never hurts in pub duels.
Stash - Dungo's - Any stats will do. I'd aim for highest Vit possible. Youll want this because your main setup only has 45% dr. Use the dungo's against smiters, V/T's, V/C's etc.

Gloves - +2 Passive, Str, Dex, Cb Gloves - Ias isnt super important but it never hurts.

Boots - Eth Treks - Fhr, Frw, Str, Vit, Psn res. You could use Shadow Dancers, Gores, Waterwalks, etc etc but i feel that Eth Treks are your best bet.

Jewelry - Angelic ring + ammy, 1x 20dex/200+ Raven - Angelics gives massive ar bonus. Gotta be able to hit people if youre gonna kill em :P

Charms - 20 Stat Torch + Anni, 4x 40Passive Lifers, Rest = Combination of sc's to fit your specific build. Youre looking for Frw, Fhr, Max, Ar, And Life. It all depends on what you need.

3. Skills

You will never put a skill anywhere but the passive tab!!

Here's what i did with this exact gear:
Max - Penetrate (Huge ar bonus, no diminishing returns)
Max - Valkyrie (Tanks for you)
10 - Critical Strike (70% to do double damage)
16 - Dodge (60% chance to dodge)
18 - Avoid (70% chance to avoid)
16 - Evade (60% chance to evade)
If you have any points left over id put them in Critical Strike.

4. Gear + Skills Overview

Your goal here is to get Dodge + Evade to about lvl 29 to reach 60% effectiveness. You want to get your Avoid around 31 to reach 70% effectiveness. Past these levels, these 3 skills have diminishing returns and your points are better spent elsewhere. With this build you will reach the 52% fhr bp. The 86 is easy to reach as well with the use of Shadow Dancers (or any 30fhr boots) and a few Fhr sc's. This build hits over 3.5k life with decent charms. Ultimately you end up with 60% Dodge, Evade - 70% Avoid - 52-86%fhr - 3.5k+ life - Max Block - 45-60%dr - Dmg depends on gear and charms.

5. Brief Dueling Strategies

I have not played this build in a while so when the new version of this guide comes out, This will be the most updated section.
Smiters, V/T variations - Very Hard - Smiters can hit you pretty well even with all of your dodge and dr so id recommend using dungo's here for stacked dr and just praying you dont get raped. Possibly try using dracs here as well for the tap but only is pubs as this is seen as BM :o
Hdins - Try to dodge hammers and hit them from the bottom like most shapeshifters.
Foher - Sorb = Easy.
I will update the rest very shortly.

6. Other Options

This character is also able to do Uber Tristram runs. Slap a guillaumes /w um, dracs, gores, and dungos on this fine lady and youre all set. Shes more than capable of killing each boss in ubers. Have fun :)

Hmm, I'm a little skeptical about your build =/ but I like it.
Could you post damage output, defense, swap gear setups, damage, and the likes?
And just offhand- I think CoA has... 30 fhr? So wearing that would cover the 1 skill, fhr, dr, and some res in one helm instead of using shako. BUT- I could be wrong 'cuz I didn't check CoA specs :P

You're right. CoA isnt a bad idea at all i just like shako better personally.
