Thanks guys! Also why is nobody seemingly using swordback on 30 zons? Because the OW is less effective at lower char lvls so you instead go for other shields?

Ya, sword back is butt cheeks, use 30/20/5rep/2soc small shield

he needs -15 req in it with shael


hate to split hairs over that statement but why? he could just as easy build 65 str and not compromise a dmg mod for req

50 str meta i supose?

im relatively zon noob asking for general curiousity

15 stats vs 9 dex or 9 max effectively, in general the 15 stats win out

Which gear would I need to be wearing to need 65 str?

This bow needs 58 and I can't see any items thus far which will necessarily require more. Eg. planning to use SoE, 3os armor, rare shield, rare gloves, harpoons, tiara (none of which seem to need much str?)

str buggable boots for zon go from:

30 str chain boots (razor bow build)
47 str shakskin boots (-15 req ashwood)
50 strength lightplated (double or ashwood with -15)
65 strength mesh boots full stats ashwood, not a bad choice to hit an extra 10 frw with nat's boots but lose res/hfd/dex/heal stamina potential (also can swap for up'd treads for 50% slower drain) - this is broke boi budget build setup IMO

Thanks for all the help so far guys.. I have always been a zon player and have a 99 & 59 on east NL. Looking forward to getting involved in the LLD community, seems a LOT more interesting in terms of build discussions and activity.

As my bow is on ladder, I'll either finish my lvl 30 there or just gather gear on both NL/L for reset.
