open wounds does more dmg as you lvl up. when it says like 25% open wounds.. that's just your chance to cause it to happen. not 83% more dmg from it. =P

Open Wounds
This is a chance of making a monster bleed uncontrollably. They lose health while bleeding. Open Wounds Items stack in most cases.

Duration: 200 frames (that is 8 seconds).

The damage per frame seems to be the following (where Clvl is the attackers level, that is the player's level usually):

Clvl=1-15: (9*Clvl+31)/256
Clvl=16-30: (18*Clvl-104)/256
Clvl=31-45: (27*Clvl-374)/256
Clvl=46-60: (36*Clvl-779)/256
Clvl=61-99: (45*Clvl-1319)/256
If you prefer per second, just multiply by 25:
Clvl=1-15: 25*(9*Clvl+31)/256
Clvl=16-30: 25*(18*Clvl-104)/256
Clvl=31-45: 25*(27*Clvl-374)/256
Clvl=46-60: 25*(36*Clvl-779)/256
Clvl=61-99: 25*(45*Clvl-1319)/256
Some examples:
Clvl 10: 11.8 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 94.5 damage. Clvl 30: 42.6 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 340.6 damage. Clvl 50: 99.7 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 797.7 damage. Clvl 70: 178.8 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 1430.5 damage. Clvl 90: 266.7 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 2133.6 damage.

Also, the damage is divided by 4 for a player target. In addition, for a missile versus a player target one should divide the damage by 8 instead.

Finally, versus bosses and champions (could be just bosses or special bosses) the damage is divided by 2.

It is possible to get up to 100% chance for Open Wounds. Anything above 100% is discarded.

not sure if weapon switching affects OW dmg, something I have yet to test out.


lol.. sup vio. ^_~

I know how ow works, but I heard on ranged weapons that the % you actually have is divided by 1/8.

Your build is Sound, it works! As stated b4, 7/10
Yes my Bowa is on USEast, not a Pvp build, but still a good Pvm build, I would like to test my HILARIOUS zon out on you.

When me and my friend did 2v2, we were amazed at how we pwned ppl, considering at the time i used Ice and he uses WF, both of us had totally different mercs, myself with Faith Merc and his Might merc with pride. (having 6k Magic Arrow was Hilarious with only 1 hard point in it) so from that you can see how much damage
both of our Zons did.

By the way, this is kind of a free bump for your guide.

i dont use m/h myself and i keep hearing the tmc around in pubs, what type of program is it?

edit: oh gg guide also

it's what's noobs use to get fhr, fcr, ias breakpoints w/out having the gear for it.

nice guide

i have one myself, even tho i made it somewhat different going with WF for more dmg.

i think it evens out.. more shots @ less dmg or less shots w/ more dmg.

i didn't test the built, but the faster 1 shot is ( the motion on the ama, not the missile ) the lower the chance is to get caught while shooting

so i would go with faith , nice guide btw, tho i think frw zons are better since u lose a lot of dmg just to be able to tele with 12 fps ( 99 fcr on ama = 12 fps not 7 )
also does frw provid faster movment + while trying to tele, there is a big chance of getting tanked down in the motion, while running u dont open urself up like that to your opponent

nice guid anyhows, i like the idea

The reason i chose WF over Faith is that i usually dont have any time to shoot lots of arrows, and like to fire off a couple of heavy hitters then tele away.
I have a Faith in stash also, but prefer the WF overall

What Fps do you shoot @ with wf? I was thinking that buriza could possibly be an option as well. You would only be shooting about 11fps though. You would do a ton of dmg though.
