Zons are possibly the king of BM dueling, but they’re not top 3 for GM dueling.

I first got completely destroyed by it a couple times, cuz it’s really got some serious advantage on anything else than a hdin.


again you can't BM much less 1v7 on an amazon, of any build. This is bad build and you only see fake numbers due to jav that doesn't even exist. Put in eth titans instead. And in D2r they are even worse due to no desync like in d2lod

if you died to it, no wonder you think its good lol

again, town druid > that. Two hits of the bear and you're dead.

Swap those rare javs to some 6/40 and the numbers just go higher.
Swap all that defensive gear and the numbers keep going higher and higher
The dps I talked about is absolutely realistic, even on a very low budget.
Higher budget simply means more tankyness.

Speaking about unrealistic numbers…
I just checked and,
The absolute maximum dmg a town bear can reach would deal ~850 dmg per hit after pvp penalty and 50% dr.

Against such a build with 75% block and 51% dodge and around 50% chance that the bear’s attack would miss the hit check, that means you’d need not 2 bear attacks, but ~70 attacks.
If the zon is afk, we’re talking about over a 1:20 min to kill.
If the zon use impale to apply slow, now we’re looking at an average of ~6 min to kill (if no life rep or any healing is done).

Sure man, a town druid is much better lol

I’m not saying I possess such a build on d2r’s real servers, stop your jealousy crisis lol
But I’ve seen such a build in action, litterally afk’ing for a minute against a gg bvc constantly ww’ing her.
And when the zon was done laughing, she 2 hit ko’d the poor barb.

“You can’t BM much on a zon” XD
Dude we’re talking about the 2 most BM skills here : impale and slow missile.
Against a melee opponent, you can literally attack once with impale and then w to doom/ss and drink your coffee while your opponent looks frozen in time lol

I respect players who are used to GM dueling, I really do.
But you’re clearly unaware of how abusive such a build can be.

2/20/30/2soc/add diadem (2 x ias/add jewels)
2/20/@/life or str or dex ammu
2/2/40/300++ed javs + stormshield ‘15ias/15@‘
Faith mb
10fcr/dex/life/@/mana ring
Raven / wisp / dwarf
War travs / infernostrides / hots
2/20/kb/str/dex or res gloves
Arach
Enigma

2 x java fhr
6 x java life
Torch
Annie
Life/5@ scs
Cube (cta + soj + soj + mara + demon limb)

I would use 1 impale and 1 fury/xx bolt/xx plague/xx psn jav
Possible squize in 1 strafe as well.

Alternative shields:
Swordback holds 2 x upped 15ias/15@
Jmod 15ias/15@/-15light/+15light

Some stack gear
3max/ar/life scs, possible a psn one.

Thats how i would build it. And they was great in d2lod, and has unstunnable dodge/impale and possible strafe as adds now.

Dno about 1v7, but has done many 1v4 with it on d2lod.
Its quickly to mess up skills while you change wep sides though.

Yeah it’s MUCH stronger with all the changes in d2r, so you can imagine if you could already 1v4 in LoD :p

I forgot to write 1 x 5fhr/5@ :p
Thats for a 27fhr break.

My d2lod had a little different build:
Pretty much same, but sop shield + bug belt. 70% block with sop and 0fbr.

These guides are made by people who play the class, and have the class on bnet, and even make videos of themselves playing. (not by people who saw it once in LOD beating some random barb)



Ama is the number one winrate in GM dueling, but is completely worthless if u start playing BM. it would for example be impossible for this build to beat any type of paladin chosing to bm u.
