Wierd.. read this

Ok, well i was pvping with my bone nec and there was this one zon.. nothing special about her.

She was naked, wearing nothing and could dodge everything that went her way, all my spirits, my friend's wws. And she killled you in 1 hit which released bolts. I dont even think she had a weapon.

is this a hack? or just some uber pker?

What you saw was an amazon with high dodge, strength bugged (i.e. she had strength from charms that allowed her to use her gear), with Charged Strike. If she was hitting you from far away, or even off your screen, she was probobly using a hack (I know it can be legit, but there are very few legit FC zons out there). If not, it was simply a well made CS zon.

Such a character can easily be negated. Absorb items and a little stacked resistance will work on her just like a sorceress or a trapper (she probobly had around -30 or even up to -70 (Griffs, Strokes, Facet shield) to lighting resists).

An example of the Str bug would be, since many people use storm on their pvp chars(it gives 35 str, that not the reason why they use it though).

Storm needs 156 strength, so if some has 130 strength, and puts strength chars or gear in his inventory to boost it to 156, equippes the storm, then unequippes the charms/items that give strength, the storm will keep itself equipped because it gives 35+ str.

A few good and easy ways to identify a 100% scripted fc:
1) Super-fast FCs
2) FCs on close range (just outside weapon range)
3) Uses only FC
4) Can FC off-screen (impossible legitly)

Actually, a little stacked and some +maximum resistances will do. I use Fortitude+TGod on my barb if the zons annoy me.

I've been experimenting with this, and I think you can utilizing shift and the unsummon button.

The strength bug that hides your equipment is just a reliance on charms without any extra boosts from your equpiment that isn't made up for in charms.

From what I see FC is like a thrown javelin so you could FC off-screen (though it is hard to do so)

How can you fc legitly? I have been looking for it, but just can't find a legit way...
There was a post about this in the zon forum, if you can't find it there I can teach you but the guy there does it best

Farcast can indeed be done off screen, but the person doing has to have been in the same screen as you at some point. If you step out of town and immediately get FC'd from 2 screens away, its a hack. If, on the other hand, you are dueling a zon and try to move away, get off their screen and then get hit with farcast, there is a chance that they are doing it from namelock.

Yeah you can do off screen fc with the namelock. I prefer using the guided arrow lock lol so much easier. But yeah, was prolly just someone who knew how to build a cs zon.
