If you want to make a zon for tundra farming (as your original post says), max multi-shot, strafe, decoy, valk, and maybe strategy? Don't bother with an immo/ms hybrid. You need to load in tons of dex with your stat points to do nice dmg with multi-shot. This is going to leave you with really low hp's. So even if you keep a 2nd gear setup to immolate act bosses, you're going to have trouble staying alive. A 1 pt magical arrow is plenty of magic dmg to deal with the uni/champs/phys. immunes when strafe won't suffice. If there isn't a crowd around the uni/champs though, nothing beats the 12.5 attacks a second of strafe along with an atmas amulet. My strafe on my 90 zon does apx. 30k max dmg at 12.5 attacks a second. Don't bother with guided imo. If you need a single target attack, magic arrow is plenty of dmg and an alternative element attack for 1 pt. Since monsters generally have lower magic res. you can even keep a bow off hand with diamonds in it for - enemy mag res, but it's not needed.
Btw, Strafe is great for targeting sneaky chargers. Since it auto targets you can kill them before they're on your screen most of the time.
Also, i have a 90 multi-shot zon who tears through trash. I also have a 96 Immozon who tears through trash (a bit slower then the ms) and damages bosses nicely. I mean, Immolation is no meteor but it shouldn't be. You have castable tanks and immo is much better for trash.
Now I wanna make a multi/strafezon
What merc should I take act 5 bear or wolf? I thought about these guys since my hp will be low and the extra tankege will be useful (also psn dmg for phys immunes). And how much str/vita should I have, base 100 vita is enough? And about gear, I thought about these: WF, Holy Crafted Armor, Blood Crafted 3 BowGloves, Andy's or Kira's?, WT, Nosferatu or IF, Bk ring with a HolyCrafted ring? and Atma's amu? Any advice is appreciated.
