Respec to try the ultimate Zon hybrid.

Fun of bowzon, Power of Javazon - the Great Matt Musto

Full party solo chaos 3 mins including Diablo. Can do this consistently.

I used to have a gg javzon, super strong but was a little boring to play. About 20 years ago, I played bowzon and this is just way too fun.

Got the bowzon geared up to where I wanted her to be. Super strong even in full party game but I always hated the boss fights. Bowzons just suck at it.

Buddy of mine gave me the idea of this hybrid zon. Bowzon doesn't need many points in its skill tree. So got the minimum skills on the bow tree and stacked the Chraged strike and its synergies as much as possible.

So now bowzon can do everything efficient and fun, then switch to titan to finish the boss quickly and safely.

Will do this for a week to see how it goes.

Gearing, skill trees and stats at the end.

I only ever build a Java with cta (pvm) and bowa with titans/limited Jav skills (pvp).

Admittedly didn't watch the video, but..
I can't imagine this build being a better option, as bow is seriously lacking without dmg charms. Merc is going to favor one or the other (infinity, pride, reapers, or faith?)

I have loaded with dmg charms. Takes about 2 mins 30 seconds usually to clear chaos before diablo. 99% bow. I moved points from magic arrow to jav synergy. So for PI, just switch and charge strike if PI and light immune, magic arrow.

I use Pride20 and Reapers on merc. Both are great.

build something in the sameway
but with wf - so slower but still real fun - 3 people chaos is okay in a mf split, not to slow for it, i use strokes and look forward to some pride for the merc, til then reapers is more then okay,

no inventory full of charms but with merc multi is around 5k so far - most fun to play char for me - brought me ber - ohm - vex til now :)

Yes! Tstroke is actually better than titan for this since it's better dmg vs bosses.

Reapers is totally fine. I use reapers instead of pride merc sometimes.

But yes sooooo fun to play. I've been playing my bowzon for like 2 weeks straight haha I have other good chars but can't play them

Yessir! That should still work.

I've been testing this build in so many full chaos games last night and today. It's super strong! Both for trash, elites and bosses. It's so perfect for me now.

If you run out of arrows, you can just throw lightening fury haha hilarioius
