Tom Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 When I had a bowazon one of my favorite skills was strafe, it reminded me of a machine gun. I am also aware of the power of a fully synergized Valk, so why not combine the two forces with teleport! These are the build goals I am aiming for: 3 fps Strafe with a Colossus Crossbow 99 Fcr with weapon switch Powerful Valk No Knockback (I want my victims to stay in one place long enough for my valk to finish them off) This is the gear I plan on using: Helm: 2 to all Zon Skills / 20 fcr / 2x 40/15 ias Jewels (maybe I can pick up a nice rare!) Armor: Enigma Breast Plate (I love the look of this armor on zons, but I can pretty much have any look I want due to the high strength requirement of a Colossus Crossbow) Weapon: Ideally a perfect Superior Faith Colossus Crossbow for a few reasons: 15 fanat not only raises your damage and speed but increases the damage and attack speed of my valk, skills and the damage are pretty nice. The only downside is the rarity of this weapon, I have only seen one in my entire time playing d2 and Nader owned it. I have a perfect upgraded Buriza that I can use instead of the Faith until ladder ends. Belt: Arachnid's Mesh (Fcr and Slow and the +1 skill are hot) Gloves: +2 Passive Skills / 15 Str / 15 Dex / 20 ias gloves (Easier to get than crafted gloves with knockback and the same base stats, also increases the stats of my Valk) Boots: Wartravs (increased damage) Amulet: Cats Eye (I don't really see an alternative I need the 20 ias and the dex + frw are the icing on the cake) Rings: Raven Frost + Some sort of Fcr Ring with ar + mana and whatever else Weapon Switch: Wizard Spike + Storm Shield (I won't be using Javs and I have no problem switching weapons to teleport since I will be using the weapon switch glitch) Charms: Standard Anni + Torch 7-9x Zon Passive Lifers (Increases my passive skills obviously, and pumps up my valk even more) Max Damage Small Charms or whatever Stats: Str: 163 with all gear (163 is the str required for a colossus crossbow) Dex: Rest to pump damage and ar Skills: I'll decide later when I have all my gear set I already have too many things going on with this build that I didn't want the hassles of prebuffing bo before every duel and its a fun character, who cares if she dies. Any thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbballer987 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 ur damage isnt going to be insane and without a fort and mass 32020s so i would invest points into vita for that survival factor... putting all ur points into dex wont improve it as much and 400+ so health can def. save u. heh if ur have the chanter in game valk = 1 hit pk XD. cute build and very unique tom... lmk when u get it finished.

I don't want to give up the mobility of Enigma for Fort though. I am having difficulty calculating the damage with the Crossbow, but it should be higher than with a Faith Gmb.

DXHKhanthos Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think its quite good I always liked strafe; just watching ur missles plow into ur opponent at lightning speed is epic.. Anyways, if you could calc the damage on both valk + strafe id definately give this build a try Also... if you could explain for us dueling nubs how to weapon swap glitch id appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, if you could calc the damage on both valk + strafe id definately give this build a try Also... if you could explain for us dueling nubs how to weapon swap glitch id appreciate it The math behind the damage calculations is too complicated for me to understand right now. Its difficult to calculate the damage for a valk because it depends on what weapon spawns with the valk. I am looking forward to try this build but I will have a problem getting the Faith Colossus X-Bow. Weapon Switch glitch is: Say you are being mind blasted by an Assassin, you are stunned, quickly switch weapons and you can walk/run away without being stunned. Its a tactic I used on my bowazon when I sorbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatestmike Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 i had a summoner zon before, and even lvl 50 valk didnt do as great as i thought it would've Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 i had a summoner zon before, and even lvl 50 valk didnt do as great as i thought it would've What synergies did you stat? When I made a valk zon it was able to kill almost as effectively as a grizzly bear. Casting from town is different than actually using the summon in a duel. Nearly every dueler thinks that you one statted the valk and they will underestimate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Okay so I am trying to make this on ladder where I can get most of this gear pretty easily. I changed the Crossbow to a Faith Gorgon Crossbow, it'll have a much lower str req and ever so slightly less dmg and faster attack speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Nah I decided to quit. I am thinking about coming back and I completely forgot about this thread. I might make one of these for shits and giggles. I made some gear switches that should make it cheaper to make too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellstruelight Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 The lifers are key, eric. The bonuses to life + valk are more important than the damage bonus. for duelling you just want to attract attention and damage enough so that your valk can finish. I would suggest cold damage from maybe a sc to help slow your opponent. This char idea is cute, maybe i'll fiddle with it on single player and see if its worth doing.

If I was to ever make this build, I think I would make her a vita zon with decked out passives and maybe 1 point to jab. Maybe no attack at all except the valk's.
