even in zva more than one of the rings he listed is usually bm. ill take a duels stat ring anyday. maaaybe if all you do is pub then dont stat for it. but even then its 60 life, 15 ed, resists, and whatever other sexy stuff is on your ring vs like a bit more sorb.

Hmm yeh, but from what i've heard... dual ravens is sweet vs cold casters

I'd probably agree here unless the zon has the resist gear available to actually utilize the sorb.

exxo - how did your zon turn out to be?

Sorry, I'm not exactly the most active person. Thanks to kel for keeping this thread updated =)

Zon looks quite good
rapes in tvt's
well in 1v1's
Though i struggle with good druids even if they dont have mb >.<

Switch Shield: 4 soc monarch with -30 req's (jah jah jah jah'd), 3 soc jeweler's xxx of colossus (ber, ber, ber'd) 3 soc jeweler's xxx of colossus (jah jah jah'd),
I'm assuming you can afford one of these shields. Storm Sheild requires too much strength and doesn't offer as much as any of these shields. If you don't believe me, post and i'll explain more indepth.

but dont you need fbr% from stormshield?
i dont get how 4soc monarch -30req jah'd will be better than stormshield in zva..
please let me know :S..

Only reason you'd use storm shield is for the 35 dr and the faster block rate. The resist it gives is negligible since you rarely have your shield out when facing elemental characters. You want to be moving with your bow out, shooting despite the added bonus from titans.

FBR frames
Frame 5 4 3 2 1
FBR needed 0% 13% 32% 86% 600%

storm shield takes you to 4 frames, my shield leaves you at 5 frames. This is once again almost negligible. Since you have such high passives, your faster block rate isn't really needed. Nothing really hits faster than 5 frames that can hurt you anyways.

For the 16060 build, you have 15 dr from dungoes and 10 dr from shako (or 18 if you've found nice gloves). Then you're able to get 24 from berberber sheild + 60 life. You get 49 or 57 dr (50 being the max). With storm sheild, you waste points into strength, get 60 dr (which is converted to 50 anyways) and you lose the 60 life.
so its 60 life + no points into strength vs. 1 added socket. Oftentimes, I duel with 25 or 33 dr because I feel that you don't really need max dr in pubs. Most of the chars nowadays are pallies or sorcs. I choose the 210 life (jahjahjah) sheild for most of the cases even when I'm fighting barbs.

Now, say that you went the fort build. You get 32 dr with jmos without having to invest points into strength. Sure, a few points into str won't hurt you that badly, and true, you get to add a jewel or a ber into your ss for 43 dr. 32 dr vs 43 dr sounds pretty bad =(. So why use it? Because you want to have versatility. You need dr and life for barbs, not damage. You sacrifie 10 dr in pub games in order to fight other characters too. The fort build is like a bvc. It deals damage and its quick. But every bvc has dungoes, and ss in their stash. For zons, they have 16060 and shako =).

This way, you don't have to sacrifice points into str.
