+ atma's scarab is usually bis amulet, procs amp in a hurry with fast bow skills. A2 might + reapers + treachery is fine

Op is over invested in vita; for bowazon dex = damage
No skillers (cheap), maybe no great damage or ar charms
Can't vouch for armor, but fort > all
Can't vouch for op's jewelry, sockets or ias breakpoints
No anni, too many books + weird inventory set up
Hustle or Harmony swap > tele
Gore >>> waterwalk or whatever those boots are
Andy face > vamp gaze

Bowa is never going to be best, but it can be fun

i know atmas is BIS, and i use it. I'm just asking the other guy why he thinks that sword on act 5 would possibly be better than reapers

She is strong. But your wallet is weak right now.

Pvm is decent
PvP is very strong
Both require a decent-very high budget

Ah I think i found the issue

It’s

Yes, atma’s amulet and faith diamond are way to go, but even with amplify killspeed is low. Use 15 ias / 15 max jewels on diadem. Setup is something like this

45max damage 45 IAS 30 frw 3 soc tiara
Atma scarab
14+ fana faith in shadow/diamond bow
Fortitude
Laying of hands
Razortail
Raven frost
Dual leech with adds ring
War travelers

Stop trolling pls

The books

Yes it's weak but if you're playing bowa you're doing it for fun and/or the challenge. But also it's expensive

That being said if you're gonna do it, you can optimize more

- helm should be gface or a jewelers tiara with 15/40s, anyone telling you otherwise is wrong (I prefer gface personally)
- windforce is perfectly good if not better, as long as you're prebuffing with mania
- highlords is a must if you need the 20ias for a breakpoint, which you likely do. Atmas is an ok stopgap, and you can keep one on swap for phys immune
- fort is a must but also it sucks being slow
- gore riders
- your stash should be 100% filled with charms, and cube.
- merc is pride might
- minimize vitality, maximize dexterity. Even on hardcore its a must

Alternate options for all of these are fine but you're losing damage for every change. If it's not maxing out damage it's not right.

If you do everything perfect you can hit a 16k-17k max strafe, which is still weak lol but it's fun

Bowa is doing fine in P8, not top tier but doing damn fine. The new jewel made her stronger when socketed in a Windforce.
