Help finish my Zon please

Hiya! rop: I need opinions on where I should put my last skill points please! So far this is what I have. (bowazon)

20 points into Guided Arrow
10 points into Muliple Shot
20 points into Penetrate
2 points into pre-requisites
9 points into Evade
9 points into Avoid
9 points into Dodge
9 points into Pierce
9 points into Critical Strike

I don't want to put points in valk or strafe unless u highly recommend it because I want to make a faith merc. I was more leaning towards maxing crit strike or pierce maybe?

Base stats are 50 str, 100 vitality and rest in dex and here's the guears I want/currently have for that matter.

*Windforce
*Andariel's
*Laying of hands
*Wyrmhide /w Fort
*nosferatu
*highlords wrath
*2 ravens
*treks
*torch + anni

Any input is good, thanks for ur time and help!!!! CHEERS :grin:

First thing to consider is IAS. If you're using WF with Faith merc, and multi/guided, then the magic number to aim for is 95.

You have 20 on WF, 20 on LoH, 20 on Andys, 20 on Hilords and 10 on nosferatus = 90

So first of all I would reccommend boosting that. The obvious way is by socketing the WF/andys. Personally I would shael the WF and 15 IAS jewel the helm. That means you can drop 30 IAS and still hit 95.

I would ditch the Hilords since it doesnt add much of value, and replace it with Atmas scarab for the amp damage, and I'd also ditch noferatus for razortail to get that all important pierce.

Are you sure you dont want valk? It is a big, big help IMHO.

And lastly - what is your plan against phys immunes? You will need something

Re: Help finish my Zon please

Thanks that helped me alot for the guears, I have atmas and cat eyes as amulet now. I'm not sure wich I prefer though. Any help on that? (im switching the belt though)

I don't have any strategy for phys immunes its a big down for my zon atm I only use magic arrows.

For the skills, whats availble for me to put points in anyways? Sure I could use valk but at what extent. I'm scared she dies alot.

I added 4 bo cta to my guears too and sorry it took so long to reply, for some reason for me this site is working half of the times. Sorry for all the typos too its 4 in the morning lol.

Change treks for wartravs or goreriders, use atmas amp to get rid of PIs.A merc with a ethereal reapers tool can help a lot with these too.
About valk, with a decent lvl she rarely die, aim for slvl 17 with skills from gear and you will see.

Re: Help finish my Zon please

I can't drop the boots because of my base str. If I calculated right I can only get slvl 16 for the valk. I guess a Passive Gc will do it?

p.s. I got the razor and atmas now with 95% ias I can really see the difference thanks.

This is the show stopper. Your Amazon comes to a full stop if you don't have a strategy for physical immunes. Magic Arrows are fine if you only have to deal with a pack or two now and then or maybe a random boss. Depends on how often you plan to travel where. For example if you travel in WorldStoneKeep, very often it will spawn half the monster physical immune. If you go Cows or Chaos alot, you don't need to worry much, only bosses will spawn physical immune. You have 3 options

1. Leg it. Pop a Decoy or Valk on immunes and run pass them
2. Spend the remainder of your skill points on an elemental attack such as Freezing Arrows or Lightning Fury.
3. Use gear to defeat them like Atma's Scarab or Reaper's Toll on a merc.

For the skills, whats availble for me to put points in anyways? Sure I could use valk but at what extent. I'm scared she dies alot.

Valk is expendible. Better she dies than you. It cost you nothing but mana to recast her and you can resummon her as many times as you like. There is a time delay between when you are able to recast her again. At the very least, she is like a Decoy, and distracts monsters away from you for a little time so you can start shooting.
