Wartrav

DS doesn’t scale well with crit
CB is halved on ranged and does not scale with player count
Also only the 2 middle arrows of multi proc CB

The flat dmg from wartravs just scales better with all your ed/dex

Edit:
Woops I just saw bowlock, not bowzon lol
Use Horazon then

Do you mind explaining why DS doesn't scale well with crit?

HL (34) + GR (15) and 26 (WL) > 62.26% effective chance
HL (34) and 26 (WL) > 51.16% effective chance

I was referring mostly to the skill Crit of the zon, which normally already gives her some ~75% crit chance, at which point the effective bonus crit chance of DS is very low.

Sure if you only have 24% from levitation mastery, then you still get a decent ratio from DS.
But then you have completely failed to understand that a bowlock deals like 1% phys dmg.

You need to build around magic dmg, or fire/magic with explosive arrows if you have a chant sorc.

Best weapon option as a standalone build:
Mist demon crossbow
Magic sunder and jewel

Best weapon option if you have a chant sorc:
Demon machine
Fire sunder and jewel
