Obviously not an experienced zon dueler here...

My zon has 65% block, and i can 100% gurantee u wont kill me with a ww barb ft5. Smiters and ww sins are a diff story, but not impossible.

zons run like 95% of the time, with the occasion of ZvZ where they walk. When u run u lose 1/3 of ur block. Meaning if u have 75% block and ur running, u have 25% block at most. With 65% block when im running, i have 22% block. So there is really only a 3% diff... the life u gain from putting into vita instead of dex is better.


lol you're an experienced zon dueler who is running vs bvc?

I can guarantee you that you will die to any proper bva in a ft5 with 22% block. The only chance you have is if they have:

low lite resist (but with 22% block, will still be a tough battle)

does long ww's

chooses to double wield.

This time period was the great rebirth of the Bowzon after their brutal beat down at the start of 1.10.

lol. getting rid of the multiple-hitting-piercing-guided-arrow cheese was a "brutal beatdown".

Zons were well compensated for that "nerf" in any case. you got Faith and Fort for a start.....

Its safe to say that I only faced 4-5 barbs on east that could effectively get tri or short ww's on me, and I am, or at least was friends with all of them. I havent been on east in 6 months. Those 5 are the occasion where i actually had to walk. 99.9% of barbs on east and even dee two pee kay cant lock + short ww for shit. In that case, running is a clearly better option. Get out fast and just lock them in kb/fhr lock until they tele on top and ww again.

I'd rate this guide 2/5
lots of effort was put into it but theres too many wrong or misleading info (esp. in dueling strategies)

max dex is always the best choice for a bowzon. if played right and skill pointed correctly she shouldnt get hit about 95% of the time thus not needing all that life. and a max dex zon is capable of having max dr, max res, and even sorbing. also, amazons have very low life bonuses and extremely high dex bonuses, so you will be getting more out of dex. your theory seems very logical and true for every character, but the theory of good offense is sometimes the best defense is also very true for every pvp character. overall, good build, good tankazon.
