Absolutely beautiful guide. Finally, someone else supports the use of shako on a bowie! Quck question though: Unless I'm completely retarded, are the stats in the guide? Is this an all dex build?

From the first post...

Vitazons vs Glass Cannons::

I moved this section from the FAQ due to all the clueless people saying vitazons are the be all and end all of bowazons. Vitazons gained sudden popularity again these days because it was different from the norm. No other reason for it. 09~1.12, glass cannons have dominated the field of bowazons and something different caught wind and boom! Everyone jumps on the bandwagon with broken wheels. Everyone seems to think vita>glass cannon. I have made vitazons before and I will tell you that 90% of the people who read this guide CANNOT afford to make a vitazon that will fare better than a glass cannon. Vitazons need to be able to tank, but also be able to deal enough damage in order to utilize their added viability. I have the unique experience of telling you that I’ve made TONS of amazons. People who know me know that I don’t even keep an enigma on my mules (absolutely useless item after I failed on the telezon setup). This doesn’t mean the glass cannon is the holy grail of amazons. With the advent of runewords, glass cannons can still tank to not die in 1 shot and still deal enough damage to kill opponents. Build your zon with a nice distribution of stats that YOU’re comfortable with and can afford.

You can do all dex if you have outstanding gear. But a good split between dex and life is recommended.

THanks a lot Kel for keeping this thread updated :)

this guide is really the best available.
i m at 800life 7.5k ga.
pure dex using fort build.
is 160/60/100 really useful to have?
as if i go this armor. i would have to find a better ring with higher str.
jus wondering wat life n damage would be a good mix?

Well you'd have to rebuild your zon to invest more life. You'd have around double the life + resists + dr but you'd lose 1.5k damage.

I can't tell you what the best balance between dex and vit is. It depends heavily on your dueling strats and how familiar you are with you zon.
