Not really looking for advice on whether I need to put points into valk or not. As long as I dont have a better armor than Peace I will never put more than 1 point into valk. I may add points to decoy to up the life on the valk before I respec for Hell though.

If I stay a pure Bowzon(Frozen Arrow + Strafe) then I will pump hard points into valk for my end game. If I stick with my plan and do a Frozen Arrow/Lightning Fury/Charged Strike Hybrid I will need every point I can get for the CS synergies.

It’s not when struck, it’s when you strike.

You have to get hit for it to proc.

Maxing valk means you never get hit in the first place which is far beyond safer. Plus Valk has great damage.


Valk dmg is actually very bad in Hell /players 8 atleast.

If you use your valk to kill things at any /players, you're not doing it right.

You're better off rolling a Smoke or Treachery (if possible) over a Peace IMO.

Edit: +skills helps a little with bowazons IMO

OP's a FA hybrid. And the Valk is a tank, if you want to let your Valk kill LI's in 8 player games, good luck and good patience.

If you build your Java to rely on the valk for LI killing.... <shrug> There are much better ways, including OP's.
