Well im considering making a bow / plague zon but im thinking on a bow to use I hear everyone talking about the up'd rouges bow but was wondering about a ashwood bow soc 3 turned into edge so I get the throns aura just incase a barb hits me or a 2 soc ashwood and make zephyr for some added ias any suggestions?

The edge bow's thorns (and thorns in general) sucks and does just about no dmg to other players unless its thorns from one of your minions. The zephyr's ias will not compare to the rogues bow, but it does have some nice frw and if your gonna use sojs, the lightning dmg will help you reduce the effect of the mdr bug.

i think ashwood doesnt have enough to it, even if you can get +3bow.... 5slots used to approach 8frames, avg 30 +3bow
drop to 3 sheals (9frames) avg 45 and +3bow

hmm...

after speed you can always work on more dmg with collection of perfected 3/xx/15 sc's, so if u want to go for it, dont worry about the bows dmg, just he bows speed

rogue Double bow is good! 30%deadly, awesome speed.
200% skystrike is not too bad either imo, +1skill, but still rogues is awesome

skystrike avg 37 +avg 125 light dmg (helps soj vs mdr issue) has 30ias
10 frames at 46 (sheald will do it)
9 at 75ias with sheal, 30ias needed.

rogues Double avg 29 * 1.3 deadly = 37 +crit skill, has 50ias
9frames automaticly hit with its 50ias
8 frames at 75% need 25ias elsewhere and u cannot sheal this bow remember, it will become lvl 34

dont think zeph double compares either imo.. r/w can be collected elsewhere, no need to sarifice the Rogues awesomeness

does any1 know if plague zons become useless to deaths set or do they have enough posion to do some dmg?

assume 75% resistance as well and the length reduction
your psn dmg does about 1/94

add jan tan do kriss 1/471

jan tan do by itself is about 1/118 psn dmg

most lvl 30's dont use deaths though they use an SOE and sanders, or some other gloves.
i think zons can hit about 13k plague though. +10 jav +4 zon gear on

with 1.10 skills with psn got boosted well, charms jewels didnt get anything, so skills are fair, but dont bother with item psn

that is definelty a relief and one final question would it be better to use guided arrow or lightening bolt as a finisher they both have advantages with bolt i save points so more plague dmg but with guided arrow i can be a fair ways away and have a much better chance of hitting my opponent

guided definitely. it will also help you be able to pick at opponents if they get defensive, just whiddle away their life with the rogues

yes definately guided unless its a nec with bonesheild or something..... but to effectively whittle at someone you really need the zon to be more of a hybrid.

I have basically a pure plauge zon with 1pt guided and rouges on switch, and I still play it like I'm doing dmg to whittle them but it rarely does any real damage. Ideally you want some +max charms in your inven and possibly a circlet with +max jewels in it or a jewels of life armor with jewels instead. Only problem with this is besides making the char much more expensive, its not easy to find a balance between +skills, mana regen, frw, life, and bow dmg. Just have to find something that works for you.
