Need a BUILD for COlD bowazon

the Mann · 09-22-2006, 01:45 PM

Hi, it's been like 1 year I haven't played d2 so I'm back to basics.
I want to get a cold bowazon as my first character so if anyone of you would help me for a build.

Which stock does I have to use?
And where to put my skills?

Thx

See i dont know Zon skills off the bat but use the last COLD Arrow for an amazon for your skill.. and max synergies.. and the needed Passive and Magic skills.

Items:

Wep: Buriza (always good for a Cold Zon)
Armor: Im not really sure.. either Nigma or CoH..
Helm: Nightwing (w/ -5/5 Cold Facet)
Bolts(of course)
Gloves: Clegs Gloves
Boots: Gores
Belts: Hmmm.. Dungos 14%
Rings: Raven + Whatever ring u want
Ammy: Maras

Inv: 20/20 Anni + Atorch
7X Bow and Crossbow GC's
Rest: Small life SCs or whatever you want..

Note: you could use a -20/20 Wire Fleece for an armor but you know how terrible that would be?

Additional Comment:
Ill prolly try and make a similar zon to test it out1

If either of you are on USEast, SC, Ladder, let me know. I have an extra Buriza you can have.

Ok for an Ice Bowazon

You can do either 2 builds it depends on what you like

You can do

None into Str
none into Dex
all into Vita
none into energy

or

None into str
200 into dex
rest into vta
none into energy

reason being the 200 into dex with it at base will give you almost 600 more damage

Skills
Max Cold Arrow
Max Ice Arrow
Max Freezing Arrow
10 into guided Arrow for the Cold Immunes
1 or 10 points into Penetrate (really up to you)
5 in to Critical Strike
1 into the rest of the passive skills
then rest of your points into valkyrie great meat shield

Now for items you need

Weapons:

You can use either Buriza or Ice Runeword make sure if you are using Ice Runeword it is placed in a Grand Matron Bow and that the bow has +3 to bow and crossbow skills

Weapon2:

Cta and spirit if you have enough str or lidless if not enough

Armor:

It really depends CoH in a Dusk Shroud is good for the str and the res
Enigma in a DS is good with the tele and the str per lvl but you don't have any Fcr so teleing will take a while for you to get anywhere also the increased frw will help too

I like using DS with non melee chars since weight does matter, when you run your stamina depletes faster when you have heaver armor on so its really up to you.

You can also use Fortitude it won't increase your cold damage but it will increase your regular damage.

Helm:

Perfect Nightwings with a 5/5 cold facet in it would be best the 20% increased cold damage would help a lot along with the 25 to 30 from Ice.

Ammy:

It really depends on your skills (depends on how many points you put into penetrate) you could use either

Maras for the +2 to all skills
or
angelics along with one ring

Rings:
Perfect Ravens and Bk
or
Perfect Ravens and Angelics depends on how many points are put into Penetrate

Gloves:
+2 bow and crossbow skills with 20ias and any other mods you can get

Belt:
it is really up to you, you need 56% ias for 10 frames and 89% for 9 so it depends on how much you need but the choices are Dungos for the DR and for the Vita or
Nosferatu's coil for the 10% ias

Boots:
Well i would use eth sandtreks

In your inventory you want
Anni and Zon Torch
7 Bow Gcs try to get them with either Str or life
the rest either 5 all res with 2 str sc's or 20 lifers
