In 1.09 before the Zon got nerfed? I couldn't wait to trade for my duped SOJ's so I could spam the trade channels to trade for one. Is the Buriza even in the game anymore? Been a few years since I played. -gk- > In 1.09 before the Zon got nerfed? I couldn't wait to trade for my duped > SOJ's so I could spam the trade channels to trade for one.

Interestingly enough, the Zon was one of the chars for whom almost no build was nerfed by 1.10. GA doesn't Pierce any more but Strafe was boosted, Decoy and Valk were boosted, and LF still rocks. The only build that didn't really get a boost was spearazons. Would be nice if Jab and Fend synergised, nay? Signature* 404 Error: Weapons of Mass Destruction not found.

I haven't played for a long while either. I have a zon that used a Buritto all the the way through in the latest patch. It was a little difficult toward the end but not too much if you are patient. I used multishot as my main attack, although historically I've always been a strafe type of guy. So, they are still viable even without a Harmony or Faith setup. Not having tried those, I can't give any comparisons. I believe the main nerfing of the zon was to remove the piercing/guided arrow approach to killing single monsters, although they may also have nerfed damage. I'm not sure. -dave > I have a zon that used a Buritto all the the way through in the latest > patch.

Sorry for my newbness, I stopped playing the weekend (yeah, bad timing) that the 1.10 patch came out. When D2 burnout hits, that's it. I missed the Diablo clone thing too.

Yes, Faith and Harmony are new runewords for bows. I haven't used either one, but Faith is the strongest and harder one to acquire. Harmony is more manageable. I'm not sure of the status of these runewords (if they are ladder only or not) -dave > While pondering glazed doughnuts Kinlaw <kinlaw62@hotmail.com> mistakenly > typed [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > runewords (if they are ladder only or not) > -dave Wow, ohm and jah. Yep, that's a tall order. Killer stats though: massive damage, plus to skills. However, I don't understand one of them: 10% Reanimate As: Returned What does that mean? Kin >>While pondering glazed doughnuts Kinlaw <kinlaw62@hotmail.com> mistakenly >>typed [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > Kin "10% Reanimate As: Returned" is a mod for tomb reaver also (unique cryptic axe). It gives a 10% change to give you a skeleton from a corpse. These are much slower and dumber than necro revives. They are mostly useless. ~Demigodess~ Somewhere on teh intarweb "Bruce Langdon" typed: >>> While pondering glazed doughnuts Kinlaw <kinlaw62@hotmail.com> >>> mistakenly typed [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > corpse. These are much slower and dumber than necro revives. They > are mostly useless. Actually I find that, when I'm being mobbed by maggot young or similar, the revives are excellent distractions. They take the heat off the Zon by offering alternative targets. Also, with Fanatacism from the Faith bow and Might from the merc they *can* kill monsters in hell (just don't hold your breath). In summary; It's not a deal-breaker but they do have their uses. They've made things easier for my strafer more than once. Cheers, SignatureShaun. > Somewhere on teh intarweb "Bruce Langdon" typed: > [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > > Cheers, Distractions are good! Can you get more than one at a time? It's probably difficult to get many. They don't seem to follow well. ~Demigodess~ > Can you get more than one at a time? It's probably difficult to get many. > They don't seem to follow well. Yep, you can get multiple ones. They don't follow well, but with Strafe/Multishot in big packed areas, you get quite a few. > ~Demigodess~ Somewhere on teh intarweb "Bruce Langdon" typed: >> Somewhere on teh intarweb "Bruce Langdon" typed: >>> "10% Reanimate As: Returned" is a mod for tomb reaver also (unique [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Distractions are good! They sure as hell can be at times. :-) > Can you get more than one at a time? It's probably difficult to get > many. They don't seem to follow well. Sometimes, like on the River of Flame where there are heaps of young maggots, I've seen upwards of a dozen on screen at a time. (They show up woth the Fana aura around their feet.) Usually, with a fast strafer I can have three or four or more at any one time, depending on the area, monster size/strength (kill-speeed). No, they don't follow well. They do follow though albeit usually too late to be of much good as a mobile army. Cheers, SignatureShaun. > Somewhere on teh intarweb "Bruce Langdon" typed: > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > have three or four or more at any one time, depending on the area, monster > size/strength (kill-speeed). Sounds good for this type of character then. I've only ever used this mod by putting a tomb reaver on my merc. It isn't so useful there. > No, they don't follow well.

It is. More so the more that you go the "glass cannon" route. They add to your Merc, Valk and Decoy as alternative targets so you don't get slapped around so much yourself. > I've only ever used this > mod by putting a tomb reaver on my merc. It isn't so useful there. No, I can see why. Unless of course your merc is killing at the speed of a Faith-equiped Strafer and the playing character is fragile, needing alternative targets to distract monsters. I particularly like it when I'm strafing across a 'moat' (think River of Flame/Abbadon/Frozen River/Icy Cellar..) or gap (like in the Arcane Sanctuary). I'll strafe but the monsters keep moving around making it hard to hit them. As soon as a dead one turns into a 'returned' they all cluster together to attack it, making it easier to hit them with arrows. Of course, a decoy does the same thing... >> No, they don't follow well.

(My ladder strafer, TastesLikeChick, has a SpellSteel on switch for the teleport charges.) Cheers, SignatureShaun. >> Will teleporting drag them with you just like other minions? > > Sadly no.

But switching to Spellsteel means you switch weapons too which could be the reason the revives disappear? > >> Will teleporting drag them with you just like other minions? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > But switching to Spellsteel means you switch weapons too which could be the > reason the revives disappear? Though I haven't fired up this game for more than 2 years, I remember the revives from my sorc's merc's tomb reaver didn't follow upon teleporting, taking TP/WP, or taking stairs. >So, are Harmony and Faith runewords?

Yes, and also of: http://www.diabloii.net/wiki/Runewords_Weapons (where I have spent way too much of my life already, heh) I was just being conversational.
