Why would an LF zon bother killing bovines anymore?The comment is in reference to the supposition (that I was responding to, attempting to deny) that ladder zons are all unbalanced LF zons that can't handle hell but instead just farm xp.
With 100% pierce the cows still offer an ideal environment to "safely" farm xp (e.g. my clvl 44 zon's valk can not be scratched by mlvl 61 nm cows, for example--i.e., cows are stupid, and stupid monsters = player safety).
However, if you don't have a high level of piercing, then the math in favor of LF/cowpacks isn't compelling.
Still, since you can do this cookie cutter build, I needed to deny the plausibility that all 200 of the hc ladder zons are using it.
Bear in mind that I'm countering varoius objections to zon abilities (which I don't believe hold up). I myself am not advocating any particular build for zons. Merely asserting that I don't believe zons are hopeless in hell in v1.10.
I probably should have just shut up, and posted points to AB zon guides for v1.10, eh? :D
