Help Me Decide!!!!!!

Ok, I've come out of retirement. I have not played in 15 months and I'm trying to decide qweither to make a BOWazon or Lightning Fury Zon. At first I was 100% sure I was gonna make a LFZon. But after seeing the NEW rune word Bows (FAITH) I might reconsider. This FAITH runeword bow has some MAD stats. My question is does it come close to the killing speed or a LFZon? Check out the stats on this bow!!!!

2Hand-Damage: ~60-320
Required Dexterity: 152
Required Strenght: 102
Required Level:65
Level 12-15 Fanaticism Aura When Equipped (varies)
+1-2 To All Stats (varies)
+344% Enhanced Damage
Ignore Target\\\\\\\'s Defense
300% Bonus To Attack Rating
+75% Damage To Undead
+50 To Attack Rating Against Undead
All Resistances +15
10% Reanimate As: Returned
75% Extra Gold From Monsters

lf still kills faster than wf.

imho, if you are just starting out, you should make a sorc to gather eq for other chars.

I'd rather stick burning matches in my eyes rather than play a sorc.

I've tried both, LF zon has problems with immunities but kills alot faster than bowzon if the gear is good (Griffons, Infinity...). Basically LF zons own Cow level now.

Bowzon kills slower but there are some areas where bowzons really shine (the Pit and Flayer jungle). Windforce or Faith are generally considered the best endgame bows. Ice bow for FA zons.

PS: Faith runeword has 330% ed by default and adds 120 fire damage also.

ya gotta like this reply!!

if you are willing to spend some time gathering pgems, running hellforges and doing some cut-throat trading....i am sure in a few weeks you will have a nicely equipped bowazon with a faith....you might want to aim for a wf(you can trade for one of these now for um or mal) to start with...then run the pits with little or no mf to get some high priced socketables

Yeah I like that reply too :) Since you will be playing poor/untwinked for a while, a java would be the easier way to go. But bowzons are more fun :clap:

Well good luck and have fun! My current bowzon is untwinked and I'm having a blast playing her. She should be able to make it all the way through the game unless the fashion police catch her. :D

It's her faux Sigons look. She has the set gloves, armor and boots but her belt and helm are rares. Ugly, but it gets the job done.
