wow a post without hostility.
plain old vita zons are obviously better, i think everyone agrees on that. still don't see how you find the best barbs increadibly easy, zon vs grief/beast barb is 50/50 at worst for barb in my book. things that fuck up shieldless barbs royally are 1) lag and 2) dork rare javs+knockback+lag. don't know if you prebuf or run around with cta 24/7 but prebuffers can't really cry about doom/slow either. and besides that stuff isn't considered bm over here anyway (neither is amp+tap on zons though).
you can't expect to get lucky and hit a barb before he's on your screen and then it's just cat-and-mouse which a good locker or a someone that can read desynch should win most of the time. from your posts i get the impression that barbs rarely even land hits on you, i could buy that you win most series of duels vs most barbs but not that they aren't a threat. would be interesting to hear your version of zon vs top east barb/wwsin and even more interesting if someone could get their thumb out their ass and duel you with those chars

I've beaten most of the top wwsins on east with my build presented here. In some cases 2 or 3 vs me (all friends).

Few things to clear up here. It wasnt 10-0. It was like 8-3, and thats including 3 losses where, 2 he used hf and had to clear up hf was bm, and 1 duel where he foh'd like 20 times with low enough foh dmg to deal dmg to me before i put res on because i was expecting a 24/7 tele smite as i was told, not foh. I have no hard feelings after losing to him because i know hes a good person and we were friendly after the fact and did some ZvZ for fun. Secondly, i know hes one of the better tele smiters around, and he knows how to duel with them, because he knows when to make me lose nl and when not to. Many tele smiters ive faced expected me to not tank alot and just go in for the kill then end up dying. And barbs are incredibly easy, expecially if they are dual wield and dont bm. If they use doomz, it just makes it a little harder to kill. Barbs who use shields will tank more against me, but they will also have alot less chance of hitting + do less dmg = i tank more as well. So in general a shield barb will die as well, it will just take longer. Also i dont have a tele zon, i have a vita zon, a telezon such as sorrows, would be much harder to land a smite on because of its mobility, but doesnt mean his zon is invincible. Also on a final note... if someone can only take down my zon with of its greatest weaknesses and wont face me with any other char, whats stopping me from taking my hammer and kicking the shit out of that persons smiter? If he can only duel with my weakness, i should be able to do the same against him.
More than mobility, some of the most skilled [telly] smiters on east frequently told me that the valkyrie I summon takes 90% of the hits thrown, probably due to the fact that after I telly the namelocks remain synonymous for a split second as they do with necros and their summons. Telly-walking with sufficient r/w speed also often prevents a a telly smite from landing. Speed and mobility combined with a little experience thwart 8/10 attacks, then you factor in dodges and missed hits.
I have died 5-0
once, to a guy who was incredibly skilled + mods: using slow (from an 08 that affected opponents more severely), hf, hammers, charge, smite --- all in combination with auto-aim/gmod (tmc). I know this because he told me, and it was my own curiosity to test it out.

The future obviously doesn't look too bright -,-
The future is always bright. As in I rarely play this game anymore, that's pretty bright

that was a pretty one sided duel. i did win around 8-10 duels in a row with just tele smite.
you should be defending your own build, not his. vita/fort zons are good, tele/poison zons are horrible.
Funny, several of your friends have been incredibly successful with variants, whereas you, yourself, made a jab/valk zon.
Perhaps on d2pk they are.

gm dueling on east and d2pk greatly limits the number of poison charms you can stack, so your build is pretty much useless
oh and marvel is gonna humiliate you with marvelmod 9.0 haha
But does not greatly limit the number of bmanas allowed for use. Funny how things work, huh?
175/20's do not exist on d2pk. Funny how things work, huh?
The restricted amount of psn charms for use was adapted from amapk and placed into general gm rules. The rule no longer applies to other classes, but is still considered bm vs other amazon opponents. To stretch the rule to encompass all other classes of character vs amazon is dim-witted (or incredibly smart) depending on the way you look at things.

i dont like that guide seems a little to random for me xD
Where is bb? where is titans
Why nn max this xD
11 critical
16 guided
Thats the dmg on ama xD so ofc max that
nn enigma sucks on bowa maybe?
and special nn valk lvl 20 xD
And btw nice dmg but is np for someone get that dmg is only cause of psn

My ama lvl 89 got 8 k dmg with 3 x psn scs 377

so is only cause of crappy psn

You can use titans on a telyporting amazon,I prefer not to. Unless you tmc for the needed fcr, it is not worth it.
lvl 11 critical + zon skill items = more than enough critical for me. Around 72-73% last I checked.
lvl 16 ga + zon skill items = higher lvl ga than a glass zon.
nn nigma? Clearly a failure of reading capabilities.
lvl 20 valk IS optional, however I prefer it.
377 psn sc < 100 psn sc < 451 psn sc < 175* psn sc. Furthermore, I would suggest you research your psn damages and timers more closely. The 175 psn small charm is superior to all others.
And I'm sorry about your zon's damage. remove the 3x 377's and replace with plain passive. You're simply wasting valuable space with them.
