I don't think it's worth going vita for the simple fact that you lose your java switch, on a bowa I don't want to get hit anyway but if I do, I want to be able to throw furys at them till they go away @@

I'd rather have the damage/switch

EDIT-

Obviously a gg guide


Yeah, everyone has their own preference. I personally got sick of dieing in a single hit to well...anything. Thats why i decided to go with Vita, have been extremely happy with my decision and I get a lot of people asking why I'm so good in duels and if my Zon's stats in my sig are actually real so i decided to go ahead and share it with everyone!

She is on US East SCNL. But she is easily built on any realm and does not rely on any sort of realm specific items like bugged belts or anything like that except for the grim spurs which can easily be replaced with sandstorm treks and i highly recommend them since i have used in the past.


I'd really like to duel you sometimes (I'm on East SC NL as well) smile.gif

I've only dueled a couple of vita zons with my wolf and I'd like some more information about them.

The only reason a Zon rushing with Jab is if they are close to you. Your strategy made it seem like you wanted to get close to the other Zon.

well i meant close enough to be on the same screen not like hugging them or something. You want to get as many hits as possible rather than hoping for every 1 in 10 arrows to possibly come in contact with them from threee screens away.

You should mention weapon switch glitch versus Trappers.

You mean charge strike?

Well good charge strike zons don't use titans, they use thunderstroke so they wont run as fast and you have 80% lighting resistance that is stacked so their negative resistance items don't have any effect. Therefore the damage you take isn't that high.

No, he means run up to you while dodging / blocking arrows and jab you.

Weapon switch glitch.

I just run and shoot, the kb always keeps them nice and far away. yes they do run faster but not that much faster. Even if they have 150% and I have 100% its still hard for them to get close. This is explained best visually from the graph of the diminishing returns from frw. There may be a difference of 50% frw but there is only a 0.6 m/s diffrence in our velocities.

Just for reference there are 14.2 yards going corner to corner on your screen in 800x600 resolution. If you had this much of a lead on them it would take around 23 seconds for them to catch you. And everytime you shoot and get a hit you get a 50% chance to due kb which increases your distance.
