I think Duress is even more powerful than Fortitude for an amazon, especially for strafers that get to the last ias breakpoint. Great resists, Crushing Blow+Open Wounds. Combine this with a Guillames Face and it doesn't matter what bow you use!
crushing blow is severly penalized for missile users(1/8 and 1/16th).....you can run the numbers for yourself...i have and fortitude eats duress for breakfast....keep in mind that crushing blow does not work on INITIAL monster life but remaining life
edit...beefchunks...i would reconsider your armor choice....if you are using harmony you WILL need all the ias you can pack onto your zon...harmony doesn't come with any ias....i have found on my harmony strafers that....a fast shooting(-10) bow like a mat works ok....but a gmb with adequate ias really shines....pile on as much ias as you can....you will want to aim for 9/2...120ias
from your list of chosen items you will get...
20 highlords
10 from nos coil
35 from andies(socketed with fervour)
gloves??? 0 10 or 20 you didn't give stats
that gives you a range of 65 to 85
with a mat bow you will be shooting 9/2 but you are 5 ias short of hitting 8/2
by using a fervored twitch(and 20 ias gloves) you are now up to 120 and will be able to shoot 9/2 with the higher damage gmb....you will be doing ALOT more damage with this setup than you could possibly hope to squeeze out of a tals setup
