Even at max, and assuming a softcore level of dex and a big bow you would be struggling to pull off more than 100 magical damage per shot average, compared to FA doing 1k per shot + splash + freeze?
As to effective zons, if you are not going to party (with an enchantress) then I would suggest a LF/Charged Strike Zon. No problems killing (non-lit-immune) monsters fast even to hell a5, has no special gear reqs to be effective (although obviously certain items are very helpful), and she can stay at range behind a valk and hireling if the going gets too tough to use charged strike (a3 cold merc is very helpful, since you can take down a cold immune monster fast, and the cold merc can freeze/dmg the lit immunes for you).
Got to 82 in HC with this build, very livable (only died when returning to help in durance, OHK to a single normal doll explosion, had high DAE, max block, and ~1k life :blink: )
Also, perhaps your level was about ~10(?) too low for hell? (Although lvling wouldn't increase your physical damage much other than better CTH)
