DE RE HUNKYZON
All you ever wanted to know about a
Buriza wielding Magic Find Amazon
I had to figure out who to make frames on Angelfire so we all
could have a more readable guide. Took me 4 days to figure
it all out. Have patience, the guide will be here soon!
Character
The following example will be replaced by a new HunkyZon because she has a flaw
(IHMO)in her build ie. only 100 Strength naturally.
The following char is used to demonstrate what is possible with a FunkyZon:
IamaMindlessKillingMachineHunkyZon

MAGIC FIND 318 at full resistances.

Remember the elemental damage is included in the damage you see on your screen.
Equipment
Equipment used:
Tal Rasha Helm 130 defense with UM or 126 defense with Perfect Topaz
Tal Rasha Armor 928 defense with UM
Tal Rasha Belt 40 defense with 15% MF
Buriza 200% Enhanced damage with 105 defense socketed with a Shael rune
Chance Guards 39% or Rare Gloves with 16 Dex, 30% MF, 22% Fire Resist
War Travellers 124 defense (160%) with 46% MF
Tal Set is one of the best choices for an Amazon if you want a chance
on more than decent Magic Find coupled with maxed resistances.
An Ummed Tal Mask and Tal Armor will give you 85% to all resistances
except Poison which will have 45%. That is a lot of bang for your
dollars. The armor has 15 Magic Damage reduce and when you wear 3 items
from the set you get a +10 Life replenish. it may seem measly +10 Life
Replenish but it helps to "soften" poison damage attacks from most
sources. Which will go a long way to make up for the lower Poison
Resistance this combo offers.
Achmel di Borghesia in the Throne of Destruction is one example where
it does not help much due to his insane poison damage.
The belt has +20 to dexterity which is always welcome to an Amazon.
The helm which is despised by some fashion loonies takes care of all
your leech and can be UMmed, Perfect Topazed or Fervored depending on
the situation or your needs.
A legit Tal Armor can be a tad rare (bloody understatement Hunky!) so
an alternative is a SMOKEd (+50% all resistances) Wyrmhide or
DuskShroud which can reach in the 800s on defense even when non-
ethereal. You will loose a hefty chunck of Magic Find though.
A Lionheart though very tempting due to its amazing bonusses,
is a less desirable choice due to its lower defense value
but you might consider it as an option so give it a look.
Nothing much to say about this one. This is Blizzard's quick and dirty
fix to cover up for the horrible job they did in patch 1.08 and 1.09 to
us Amazons. The fact that it can have max 150 to defense says it all.
It has 100% piercing, a chance to Freeze monsters that can go as high
as 41.6% at level 99 while Strafing or Multishotting, +35 to Dexterity
and a hefty 32-196 Cold damage. Yes, it is slow but who cares, it does
the job.
Choices to socket can be: Shael, a good Fervor jewel for speed, a
Perfect Skull for leech, an Ist Rune for Magic Find, a Mal Rune to
prevent Monster Heal or some of the more esoteric runes like Jah for
Ignore Target Defense or Lo for Deadly Strike. Socketing a Cham will
raise your chance to Freeze to 48.3% at level 99. Now that is some
crowd control. Last but not least a Hel rune can lower the Strength
requirement to 88. Top jewel choices would be +15 resistances all /-15
requirements or +15 resistances all/+15% IAS. Never seen either one of
those jewels drop though.
NEVER EVER I repeat NEVER bother to raise the damage, it just is NOT
worth it. A 150% ED Buriza is just as good as an 200% Buriza in doing
the job of killing monsters. A PERFECT Buriza is one that has +150 on
defense, the higher your defense the lower the chance the monsters will
hit you. That will make a noticable difference if coupled with
high passive skills like Dodge/Avoid/Evade.
Chance Guards for the MF bonus but it also has 200% to Gold Find,
couple that with 2 Dwarfstar rings, the Ali Baba and the Rhyme shield
and you end up with 697% Gold Find. Give your Merc a Wealth armor and
you can do Nightmare Travincal runs with 997% to Gold Find for some
quick money. All it takes extra are the Dwarfstar rings and/or the
Wealth Armor. Nothing spectacular (a Barbarian can have up to 3K% Gold
Find) but nice to have available at such a low resource cost.
A blessing in disguise or rather a pain in the ehr where the Sun does
not illuminate a certain spot, these boots offer the highest Magic Find
on boots. And on top of that some nice additional mods which are quite
handy for an Amazon like +10 to strength, +10 to Vitality, +15-+25 to
damage, 40% Slower Stamina Drain and 25% Faster Run Walk. Strength
required to wear them is 95 though. If you Hel your Buriza you save 22
statpoints which you can use elsewhere.
Wartravellers will eat up 7 of
those 22 points so decide if you really want to use them. A really good
alternative are the boots from the Cow King set. They have 30% Faster
Run Walk, +20 to dexterity, +25% to Magic Find and 25-35 to Fire Damage
and probably much easier to get than Wartravellers. If you need more
life Waterwalk boots are quite good too with extra life and even 15
dexterity to name a few of the mods on it.
some rings, an amulet and a couple of charms.
Her second weapon slot is usually filled with an Alibaba with a 10% MF
jewel in it (still looking for another one) and a Rhyme Shield.
Mercenary is a Holy Freeze Merc from act 2 Nightmare.
The above approaches the classic FunkyZon the most.
Freeze
CL is your character level
ML is Monster level
B is bonus to Chance to Freeze Monster
C is chance to Freeze Monster (in percentage)
Formula for Chance to Freeze is 50 + (( CL - 6 + ( B * 4 ) - ML ) * 5 ) / 3 ]

FEEL FREE TO INCORPORATE THESE TABLES IN GUIDES AS LONG
AS YOU MENTION THE CREDITS AT THE END OF THIS SECTION
There is no negative chance to Freeze Monsters, if chance is below ZERO
the effect will not happen!
If a Monster has Cold Resistance that will cut down the Duration of the Freeze
by the percentage of Cold Resistance the monster has.
If Duration is 100 frames and Monster Cold Resistance is 50% then
The resulting Duration would be 100 * 0.50 = 50 frames.
For the Bowazons among us:
A Buriza (+3 bonus) has at character level 99 a Freeze Duration that ranges
between 25 frames and 109 frames.
For the very few lucky Bowazons among us that do have Cham runes:
+1 = 25 - 081 frames (Bow with Cham OR IceBlink)
+2 = 25 - 095 frames (Bow with Cham AND IceBlink, Bow with 2 Cham)
+3 = 25 - 109 frames (Buriza, bow with 2 Cham AND Iceblink, 3 socket bow 3 Cham)
+4 = 25 - 121 frames (Buriza with Iceblink OR Cham, 4 socket bow with 4 Cham))
+5 = 25 - 135 frames (Buriza with Cham AND IceBlink, 5 socket bow with 5 Cham)
+6 = 25 - 149 frames (6 socket bow with 6 Cham runes)
+7 = 25 - 161 frames (6 socket bow with 6 Cham runes AND IceBlink)
All the items with Chance to Freeze Monster Bonus (1.09d)
+3 Buriza Do Kyanon
+3 Fechmars Axe
+3 Sureshrill Frost
+2 Bing Sz Wang
+1 Cham Rune
+1 Iceblink
+1 Woestave
I know that Cham runes are rare as Hell, I would praise the Heaven if I
ever would find even ONE CHAM.
