It was a close decision but I chose magic because I felt it had the most benefits across the board.
For Passive skills:
5-7 to crit has good returns on investment
1-4 into dodge/avoid/evade - lowest priority of the skills
8-13 into valk - very strong in this range, any more skills is low priority
5-7 into pierce, 5 is pretty descent
20 penetrate - essential for getting attack rating up

Stats
Str: enough for bow of your choice
Dex: dump all extra
Vita: 100-150 is enough to survive
ene: base

Gear
Helmet: 2-3 socket helmet with diamonds - essential for attack rating
Armor/belt: you can shop a magic resist armor in nightmare act 1-2
Jewelry: whatever the game gives you to work with
Gloves: shop/gamble 10 ias gloves
Boots: shop/gamble run/walk boots
Bow: The key to this is the horadric cube formulas, 3 normal gems+ socketed bow, or 3 flawless gems +magic bow.
I chose a rune bow for the speed, but gothic is also very good choice.
You want to roll this until you get a favorable mod and 2 sockets, ideally.
its critical to socket it with a sapphire (freezing) and emerald (prevent monster heal).
Later on you can try imbuing a few bows. I got super lucky with my rune bow roll, only tried 3 times, yours probably wont be this good.

Strategy: its pretty much diablo 1 rogue, you just point and shoot, its slow, but there isn't anything that she can't handle. (Duriel is hard AF)

Build should be finished in the 6o's and optimized in the low 70's

GLHF~~~

Thanks but D2 has been out for 20 years now if you haven't figured out how to play yet. You are way behind.

plz upload a video of your amazing zon in action.

dude do you get your coke straight from bolivia?

I also have a majic arrow zon I maxed valk, decoy,majic arrow,so that’s 60 off the bat I’ll update after ladder resets but the best thing about the build is having the valk tank in pub games so let’s say a hammers in needs to step back and heal or a barb they can also use the valk to attack from behind while being in range. Same with bosses.

hi

I really like this post

This reminds me so much of my first diablo character. I knew nothing about the game, and went with Magic Arrow and a suitable 2-socket magic bow.
Looking back it sucked incredible much - doing NM Andariel took one and a half minute to kill, but I had no idea, cause I was only playing Single Player with no reference, and it was amazing.

Now, running efficient cold sorc with TP, I'll probably never go back ^^

For reference, my final gear after beating normal - quite similar to yours:

So bad, so beautiful. Thank you.
