All the famous guides on YouTube suggest to run Java early But what about playing as Bowazon for leveling even if that is a Little Bit slower. What Kind of skills should i use and is there any uniq bow worth using for leveling? I Play singleplayer and kept a lot of different Bows for that.
Explosive arrow then ? Combined with?

Explosive arrow with kuko isnt bad
But doing physical bowzon is doable if you have some gc ready for levelling

Plain 10max gc are lvl 20ish so very useful

Insight on an exceptional base is really good starting lvl27, then buriza or goldstrike are nice
Buriza to windforce to faith are the end game progression

i second what fonzy said, and i personally wouldnt bother with a bowazon until I could atleast run an insight. she is so mana hungry that its really rough to play until then.

Once you get a bow that does a little more damage, like 30 max, rather than 12, plus some charms that boost damage, two manalds start leeching back enough mana to make it tolerable, providing you’re not trying to max multishot all at one time.

Doable starting nightmare, lycander's bow ain't bad for a frost maiden leveling version. A totally underrated bow is harmony. Put it in a fast bow and you can get past early nightmare easily. Goldstrike arch is also a possibility.
