Decided to make this char for fun - not to be competitive, but we shall see.

I am curious if its worth it to stat Guided arrow and slap on a 5 socket Stag bow with some psn gems or 20 max jewels, idk)...

...or just go pure CS..

Right now I have 1 into guided arrow, 1 in crit, 1 in dodge/avoid, 1 into cs, and rest into CS synergies

Thoughts? Anyone have an 18 cs zon??? lol

ive made one, they can be fun in tvt but tough for 1v1.

anything at range will out dmg you (bowas, ice blasters, and even boners) with your 1 pt ga. but you need it for sure to have options and not just be a run down char.

its the same as a kicker, ive never liked pure kicker that just clicks and chases, best to have 1 pt bfury, traps, psy hammer, and shadow to play with to set people up.

the other option is to have an eth rep pair of javs and shield to swap to from your white maidens to get decent LB throw dmg. that may be more effective than GA and maintain block. preferably with KB on the javs to keep kickers zealers off you.

id prob go 20 maxers or 4-15s

make them respect your ga/LB so at range you're not a push over.

only other option would be like skulls or caster jewels. if u lack rep maybe skull 1 slot, easy to replace if u find u dont need it. if not caster jewels are a waste. any mana or res issues can be handled in the inventory at a better ratio than losing 20 max in a socket.

Cs is fun, but its definately not a top tier lvl 18 build.
I think the problem with adding a bow to the build is that once you get guided arrow, its easy to fall into the "watered down bowa" trap. You will eventually want to respec and go full bowa.

I’d do what snip said

Rock a good eth rep on swap and get good lb dmg plus block on both sides and wsg with sexy frw would help u get close

Aim for a frw Ed circ and prolly treads Go maxer dex Ed life armor
