LoL, My zon is lvl 73 in nightmare, and have yet to lose to some pubby loser.

Although several winddruids and experienced necros (ie : use teeth / BW) Do give me a run for my money, no one has yet to totally own me.

And @ the start, it gets hard to aim your psn, but you'll get tha hang of it real soon..Wheres your damage at? Im about 90k with plague, 110kwith poison

It pays off, when people bring in 09 lvl 99chars and leave the game crying that psn is cheap ^^

lol

ya this is very nice build. one time i underestimated a plague javazon so i thought i was smart knowing that i was godly, i allowed him to hit me a few times b4 i attacked and by that time i was dead. damn

No prob..
From what i've learnt, these are my strategies.

Boner : Run circles like said, Your r/w should be >his Spirits, If he uses spirits, its an easy win for you. Spears, You need to runa round and wait for him to make a mistake, thent hats your shot, throw in a jav then fury his ass.
But with experienced Boners, they will use Teeth and BoneWall from afar which causes a hellavalot of trouble. Psn the wall, dont even bother to run through the teeth, you wont make it. You're best chance would be to GA from afar.

Sorcs : Just GA, Job Done.
WindDruids : Poison In front of you, run through it.Since druids tele to chase after you, normally, they can tele directly into the cloud.
DO NOT use Fury to finish them. Eitehr Run up and JAb or GA him.

Melee : No problem with this at all.Stand in cloud.


OVerall, Just always try and aim your cloud between both of you at all times. If you can prediect their movement, Then its pretty much GG

Plaguezon now 82. Max PJ/PJ/LF. No GA on switch so gotta rely on LF for long-range scare tactics/finisher. Damage at about 60k with 5x skillers to go. Need to shop for +3/20 ias gloves.

Already, the damage is deadly but still a little slow cuz gives too much time for opponents to chug pots/dotes, lol. Pubbies here out West is just as BM as anywhere else. Plus, it's always anarchy as no one ever goes 1v1 w/o whining or double-teaming after a loss.

edit: forgot to ask Cunny: does that shako give +2 duelling skills when you wear it

I was thinking about filling my inventory with this:
5x Java with Life
3x Java with FRW
2x Java with FHR

That gives me about 74% FHR with Bramble and 51% Fr/w with Soul Spurs. I can add a few 5% FHRs to reach the 5 Frame BP. Should I add more Fr/w or is that enough and add a few Vita SCs.

I use all lifes.
Your r/w (if you wear cats eye) is enough to outrun BS easily, which is all you need
fhr : 6frame is plenty imo, my zon rarely gets hits thanks to dodge/evade/avoid

My zon has around 2.7k life after BO

Well, I kind of disagree. My basic rule is you can't have too much run walk. I use 7 x Fast run walk GC's, and only 3 with life. I also use a bottom row of 4 x5% fast run walk / resist, and 4 more 5% fast hit/5% resist sc's.

If you use cats eye, you lose 30% resists and skill. I would say it's not a good choice for the build. If you use cats eye, your going to have to use more resist sc's, which will take away from your life. It's best to get as much resists out of items as you can, because zons tend to struggle a little bit with resists. I get maxed out resists plus extra with my sc's, but that is based on the gear I have which is perfect for resists. Some people may not have the boots I have, so they will need more sc's in inv to max them out.

If you follow the guide exactly, here are the stats you will most likely have, or close to it:

100K plague damage (105 if your bramble is perfect, and 110 if you facet your shield also)
2.7K life (will depend on your lvl, and how good your gear is)
90% fast hit recovery (breaks the 86% mark)
All maxed resists in hell + 10% for small stack (incase the guy uses a couple facets)
20% ias
89% faster run walk (49% from gc's, 20% from boots, 20% from sc's)

In chest, you have COH, rings, and 4 Gem shields in case you fight an FOH'er, or Bliz sorc. This helps stack the 150% required for foh, and the 230% for blizzard.

Actually, if u use Imp Shanks you're r/w is at 99% (excluding Titans of course)

I actually agree that r/w is extremely important to this build as I mentioned in a previous reply. And that Eye lower the damage by a ton, IIRC (tried a max r/w on this babe at one time, lol).

TACTICS QUESTION: how the hell do you duel those sorcs/necs efficiently? Can someone post some detailed tactics because they aren't as easy as Wu-Banger and all make it out to be Most of the time, I think its a matter of praying to get lucky the other side makes a mistake and lands in a poison cloud.

Fireball:
Blizz:
Lightning: duelled one last night and lost a ton (TGods only) but finally figured out LFing her made more sense. I think I need to shop for those +3/20ias gloves.

Bone:
Bone (60% slow clay golem - I hate these!!!): duelled one last night and it was so excruciatingly frustrating. I got stubborn too much and tried to go toe-to-toe I think instead of running away and LFing. But when that golem was on top of me, it was lights out.
