Whats the best pvp zon build atm ? Links ?

Tri-brids, built tanky
impale + either light or psn javs on main side
1pt GA on cta bow side

Something like that :
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/3i2pl0it

obviously that's some impossible/bis gear, just to show what someone with crazy budget could expect
and zons have strange ias/fcr breakpoints where you can't really get everything you want... so there's as many builds as there is players

If you wonder "what's so good about the build above?"

Well, you have 4 types of dmg
phys, light, psn, ow
so you don't have to be afraid about getting hard countered

GA -> always hits
impale -> always hits
CS -> no need ar, the bolts always hits

Your single point GA is a potent poke and seriously good enough to kill casters that just run away form you, cuz a single 451 psn sc + ow will slowly melt them.
Most players who see you poking with your bow will immediately want to telestomp that poor squishy bowzon.
But surprise mofos!

You got some gg CS dmg, and alternatively impale if they try to sorb you.

The slow from impale will fuck any melee build relying on ias.

You got some 3.7k life
50% DR
75% block
51% chance to dodge melee
60% chance to dodge ranged + slow missile

If we look at the effective life you have vs a melee opponent...
3.7k * 2 * 4 * ~2 = ~60k before even considering your chance to avoid getting hit from defense
Probably more around 75k on average after defense is taken into account.
75k * 6 (pvp penalty) means they have to deal the equivalent of 450k dmg to you, while slowed by the capped 50% from impale
Good luck lol

And casters are a joke...
You tag them with slow missile (1 hard point and it lasts 84s)
Plus your 60% chance to dodge missiles
You'll 1v7 them even with your cta bow lol

cta bow will barely tickle, and casters will telestomp you and kill you no problem, no matter if you're on bow side or jav

you won't even hit casters with impale, much less melee

that's some massive cope lol.

Just wanna point out that if u use slow missiles, u will be considered BM.
and playing a bm bowa is kinda the worst char to do it on IMO as ur super immobile and will get destroyed very ez

Yeah that's the precise goal of this BM build lol
You act like a BM bowa, poking with your dmg from psn/ow and using slow missile
Casters can't do anything unless they telestomp you, and they have to be within melee distance else they can't hit you at all lol

This build 1v7 pubs

how is that a problem? Plus last I checked casters are ranged too.

this build loses to town druid casting bear outside

When they actually decide to telestomp you, they’re face to face with a build 2x more tanky and with 3x more dps
That’s the problem XD

And a town bear druid would need at least 5 minutes to kill that build if its afk
450k effective life vs phys dmg like I explained

Any other questions?

Yes, have u ever done duels or just in Theory?

Start by telling me about which point you feel that isn't right.

You first post simply said :
