I'm curious. I remember years ago, entering hell games and multishot bowazons doing cows np.. or chaos, for example.

Is it even viable? Will I ever be able to 2-shot cows in a p1-p2 hell game?

What's the physical damage one could expect to get?

For p1-p2 I think it's viable. It's obviously not the fastest killer of the selection but with high end gear and a1 merc with Fana aura I think it would be cool!

Yeah. I mean, I always main a blizz sorc, then light -> then do a fun char, 90% of the time being a tyraels/nw/fathom blizz sorc for the blue look. I'd like to look into a bowa that could clear pits or cows or chaos in a less boring manner, even if it takes 4-4;30mins to do pits instead of 2:30, it's often worth the fun.

Thanks for the input!

if you invest a bit sure it works fine. did you look into strafe too?

I remember making a few mavs zons, and I kinda dislike the feel. I feel its glitchy, idk. Multi is cool though

nah not mavs, youd go fa or some shit with that, the set isnt good for phys builds

That only goes to show my knowledge about the bowazons, hahaha.

bowa isn't good but it's viable
multishot is superior to strafe
mavina can be good for frost bowa, it's bad for phys bowa

hell cows have 10-15k life with 50%dr, so you're not going to 1shot them
with very good gear you can get 4k average MS and 70% chance of double dmg at 7fpa

so 4-7 MS to kill a pack of cows... ugh :#
more viable in chaos or pits, you think? You seem pretty knowledgeable.. thank you.

multishot is generally better than strafe regardless of tier of items being used, whether self found or endgame.
like classic bowazons, self-found bowas struggle with physical damage builds quite badly- not as bad as classic, once you get a real bow like a buriza which is not that hard to find, and its perfectly reasonable when upgraded.
when fully built, a bowazon with something like 40/15 wf+enigma+120/45/20+atmas+loh+raven+fcr ring+travs+razortail with a1 faith merc is a perfectly competent pvm build compared to other non tier builds. It can players 8 chaos or cows or pit or baal on its own. Its just nowhere near as fast as say a javazon who can be built even more cheaply
