Probably had quite a few 3/xx/3's too, and could of been using wf and merc with faith
I've never really had a zon that can kill my smiter, but thats definitely an uneven fight.
Only thing you will really be killing with zons mostly is other zons, sorcs (especially the stupid ones), druids, weak melee chars (shitty barbs go down like nothing), shitty smiters (not v/t's... hdins sometimes though) and trapsins (they hide in the traps and just take them arrows

)
Otherwise... Smiters and other characters that can take damage and block it, will just one hit you.
