My barb owned any zon I came across in 1.05(or was it .04?)...

S/S barb. There really weren't any OUTSTANDING belt choices then, so Death's Belt was really the only way to go.

In any case, zons were pathetic in pre-LoD Classic. Even with their Avoids, they couldn't hit me fast and/or hard enough to keep me off their pasty, white asses before they fell to my 111 Gothic Sword(LOL!).
