Armor for jav/bow hybrid (pvm)
- Thread starter xyzthorakzyx

I have an older hybrid zon, older meaning before all the new rune words came about, i think i could make a new one now that was a lil better......i think infinity kinda makes anybuild with single element strong attack best, ie fireballer, cold sorc, or light java fastest killers. But to answer your question.
I use 50 points lightning, 20 lf, 20 charged, and the other 10 prereq and light bolts. and about 30 in the ice tree of the bow, 20 FA, some CA. I also drop a few in multi.
I used wf and upeth titan, 90 ias bow, 55 ias jav, enigma, can kill anywhere and really fun char with good mf ~~200.....
I think to remake you could do better with some of the words, like for instance, i think the same skill alot ment maybe more ice would work great with diff items encorporating r/w's.
griffon eye
spirit
ice mat bow
enigma
up eth titan
wt
ravenfrost
dual ring
highlord
lavagout for enchant or i would say loh but not really a phy build anymore
and then pride/might or faith/rogue......would be a fast killen, rushin zon, with mediocre mf.....FUN, could probably go gmb if u used faith rogue....
I dont really have wealth since most of my accts expired, but if u do I would try a build like that.....

If looking for a Hybrid lightening zon with bow back up, check out my faith/fury build in the guides thread. LF for crowds, CS for boss's, strafe for LI and magic arrow for PI & LI. Build requires a faith but only uses 5 points in the bow tree and Lightening side is extremely strong.xyzthorakzyx said:Hmm, all these posts has made me wonder about another thing. Why does noone use a hybrid with a bow as a secondary weapons instead of relying on the physical damage from titans? It seems to me that the titans would not do enough physical damage (a bow hybrid can also handle PI/LI with magic arrow).
Sangfagel: I found that DS/LS kills rather fast in low player games but when there are more than 1 player they do not kill fast enough compared to a LF ama. Fireblast offered an opportunity to kill lightning immunes together with DS though but the speed is worse than LF in my opinion. However, considering a trapassin has an easier time against light immunes maybe the overall killing speed will be faster with it. Killing baal was too slow for my liking though...
To XYZ, definately COH. Resists, life / kill, +2 skills etc. Lightening is your primary killer so use an armor to pump that side. Fortitude would increase the physical side of the build but the price is too high in order to add damage to a secondary skill.

I started thinking about maybe impale or fend. Anyone tried using these with upped eth titans? If I can avoid using a bow I could use cta on switch instead which would prove EXTREMELY useful for +1 skills and + a lot of life.
mgill1772: Hmm, looks like an interesting build but how much damage did that frozen arrow do at lvl 30 with maxed cold arrow? Is it really enough to kill? With this setup I guess a CoH would be best armor also. And in a LF/FA build I would absolutely use infinity for my merc.
XZON: Yes, that is another alternative. I want to have a cta in my weapon switch though which means I want to avoid a bow/java hybrid if possible.

Impale is extremely slow. Fend is bugged in that dodge/evade and avoid will interrupt the skill making it useless. Jab can be awesome with only 1 point spent.xyzthorakzyx said:I started thinking about maybe impale or fend. Anyone tried using these with upped eth titans?

You will find that a High FA with maxed synergy (the one that add damage) will be a very handy skill. It will kill and really help with souls however 2 downsides. Absolutely gulps mana and costs 40 hard skill points which will seriously lower your lightening damage.
CTA on switch is great for PvP but not needed for a PvM Amazon. Think about it, you could have 75% block and 60 to 65% dodge/evade/avoid. This keeps you extremely safe (90% of attacks will miss you). My build ended up with about 1600 life which is more than enough. The only thing that can really kill you is iron maiden or dolls which can kill a 5,000 life barb in a split second and can be prevented by using a ranged attack.
