I really like this build, I've been wanting to rebuild my bowzon since I started playing again. Looks like i'm striping down the old one. Just tell me how this sounds. I'm looking for a char to get to 99.
Str 66 +miss mods =103
Dex Rest
Vit 50
Eng: Base
Equipment
Helm: 97 life, 120 ed, 45 ias tiara
Armor: 1.5 life, 30 resist wurmhide fort (I like the way it looks better)
Bow: 12 ed 15/2/3 Faith GMB
Boots: War Travs
Gloves laying of Hand (I competly forgot about these things till I read this guide)
Belt Nosfs Coil
Ring: 20 Raven Frost
Ring: Raven Spiral
Ammy: Cats Eye
Charms
17/14/7 Anni
4 10Damage/6 Dex GC
3 3/xx/2dex SC
1 Horadric Cube (for arrows)
4 rows of empty space to pick stuff up with
No torch because I heard it can cause games to drop somehow (tell me if this is true)
Merc
Eth Pride
Eth Fort
Eth Andy's Visage (needs to be socketed with a ber?)
Skills (The part I need the msot help with)
Critical Strike 13
Valk 14
Pierce 20
Multi Shot 12 (20 arrows)
Strafe 1
Guided Arrow 20
That gives me 21 left over points, any suggestions? If the game droping I get isn't due to the torch like I thought it was I get +9 more points to mess around with.
You miss KB whitch is VERY usefull on pvm bowa. I would give faith to merc and use WF instead (you get KB from bow so you don't have to chance gloves so you maintain that sexy ed% vs demons). Act1 merc also won't die to IM whitch I like. Also use Razortail instead of nos. Pierce is the most usefull thing on bow amazons.
Why only 1 in strafe? I would put more there. 1 in FA (usefull. Gives you few extra shots when there are lots of monsters) and rest in Decoy (strong decoy is GREAT and
your Valk gets stronger too).
I have bowzon looking like this (except that I messed with my skills a bit) and she is great.
