I think ill try it out.. looks like a solid build, and im tired of my old glass-cannon zon, she die's if i lag a few sec's.

But won't a bow like matri, diamond or shadow bow not be better then a gmb coz you can hit 7fps with those bows and still use same eq as you would do with a gmb?

i wouldnt recommend mati as the dmg is so low that even with the rate of 7 frames per attack you would be loosing dmg compared to gmb at 8 frames. Diamond/ward/shadow however are all good alternatives. Many people, including myself, use these bows with 20% ias gloves and really like the results. However, for most zons a diamond at diamond/ward/shadow at 7 frames will = the same amount of dmg per second at GMB at 8 frames.

ah haha.
yeah gotchya. and i hate stereotypical subsiding judgemental dickwads with this idea that they are better than others.
maybe if you focus'd on makin yourself a better person. daddy would fuck you in the ass, and mommy wouldnt put cigaretts out on your back.
and you would be able to leave the basement.

fail more troll.

Well finaly got the last for my vitazon :)

I followed youre guide with a few exceptions, but the numbers are almost the same, its just a shame i dont got the wealth to get 10x 3/xx/5frw sc's then my life would have been higher.

She is on euro non-ladder and got 30dr with bow out, stacked @ res in hell, only 451psn dmg (keeping it gm with only 1 psn charm), max block setup in stash (don't use it except im in a TvT, but its nice to have there).

Before BO


After BO

Thx for letting as all know about this build, 7fps is overradet :p had a 7fps glasscannon with 1.4k life before i made this one and i have it much easyer in pubs and even in zvz with the vitazon (use max block/dr switch + wt's instead of tri-res boots in zvz and no pre bo ofc)

Its just funny to see foh palas rage over that they cant kill a freaking bowazon :) but got some problems with bva, smiter, and chargers but they are also all bowas nemesis...

~~~~~~~~~ GUIDE REVISION - 04/28/2010 ~~~~~~~~~

Since posting the Vitality Bow Amazon guide over two years ago I have been meaning to revise a few things. These revisions are based on hundreds of helpful comments posted here as well as years of experimenting with various gear and dueling techniques.

1) Keep titans + SS in your stash and make sure you have enough dex for max block for dueling smiters/chargers and various other characters that require the ability to block. I didn’t include this in the original build; however, it is probably the most effective way for a bowzon to beat a smiter/charger.

2) I have received many comments about putting the cube in your inventory and keeping a cta in there. Titans + SS would become your regular weapon switch and the cta would just replace the titans for a few seconds while you cast BO. The advantage of this is that it removes the hassle of constantly returning to your stash to switch between cta + spirit and titans + SS. The disadvantage is that you loose +2 skills from your BO level (+120 life) and 4x sc from your inventory (+120 life & +120 dmg).

3) I now recommend using faith made in a 0 base speed bow such as diamond, ward or shadow bows as an alternative option to the GMB. These bows require 65% ias to hit 7 frames instead of the 92% ias required by GMB. Your dmg per arrow will be less with these bows but you will get to shoot at 7 frames instead of 8 frames with GMB. To do this you will need to use 20% ias kb gloves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

great guide, i'll be following this tonight.

just having trouble with the helm. I know coa is a must for resists / dr but i have a +2skill / 30fwr/ 2os helm.

probably not any better to use though.
