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.


amazons actually have good life bonuses

Well, ofc a glass zon can stack res and dr, but its useless with 1k or less life. On occasion, full dr can save u from an arrow or two in zvz, or MAYBE 1 charge from weaker pally, but other than that, ur going to die in one hit most of the time 100% dex. The only time a glass is good is for ZvZ or if ur using it for fun. So @ the bolded, the reason the theory seems logical and true is because it has been proven true, therefore its a fact, not a theory. Vita > Dex.

this vita vs dex zon is bullshit really

both sucks, having a mix is way better

vita zons lacks dex to even get maxblock on switch
dex zons lacks life to survive long lasting duels

i'd say get around 2k - 2.2k life with maxblock, then the rest in dex would be best, but it comes down to personal preference

anyway, this guide is horrible anyway, dunno why this is still open

but not according to this guide
"152 dex with gear" will not result in having maxblock on switch

but yeah, even a "vita zon" should have enough dex for maxblock on switch

the build itself doesn't seem bad, but the entire dueling section seems to be geared towards public duels.

Mine has 188 dex for shadow bow for 7 fpa. 62 block walking, which i rarely do. 22 blocking running as to 25 running if u spend an extra 50 or so points to hit max block.

Put it this way, if u dont like the guide, dont follow it. I took his build, tweaked it a bit to my liking, and I trampled east until i lost all my chars. Ive made and have glass, mix, tele zons, all kinds, and this build tweaked to my way is definately given me the best results.

what about skill placement?

if you follow this guide you'll end up putting points at lvl 93 and not having put any points in skills such as valkyrie, slow missiles or lightning fury... which are important in some cases

also, you get +7 from charms/items and at lvl 27 avoid/evade/dodge/critical strike get +1 so it seems worth maxing them out but as I say, you'll have to sacrifice either valkirie, or lightning fury...
