Idk I am basing my opinion off that last time I built a high lvl bowa and going glass cannon was never worth it. My only current one is an 18 and that too is vita


last HLD bowa i built was 1.09 patch lol

and i havent made an 18 in years either lol.

i remember being shocked when i made an 18 bowa that they used mostly 15life/7mana scs. then i made one without and went oom instantly and got why they did it lol

But doesn’t not having the 30fbr mean you get stuck in the block animation longer? Could that get wierd w/ the dodge animation... you’re not gonna try to wsg out of anything that’s causing the block animation (charge,zeal,ww)

Fbr would make the block animation happen quicker so I’d assume that gives you more time to escape

yeah wouldn't be usable in general tvt vs phys. zon has to have a shield would need to be GFG mods to use vs like a sorc/trap/cs/plague/foh-smiters can get light stack plr etc.

but im guessing ops shield isn't that shield

That's because at high LVL you have stuff like coa to add a lot of ed etc. At 30, you need high dex for damage output

Faster block rate is definately relevant. A 30/20 is good in zvz and vs a lot of ther slow attacks. Vs high fpa attacks like zeal and fury, you really want a shealed whitsans guard, but that really kills your damage output. That's why most glass cannon zons just have 120-150 frw. If you struggle to block it, out run it
