good read so far, keep it up!

Inspiring af tbh, might attempt the same since I'm getting a bit bored with my other SP journeys ^^

What kind of build are you running / aiming towards?

Thanks! I've only recently messed with a physical bowa and never had an endgame one so undecided on the whole strafe/multi discussion. I've enjoyed using both so will just see what I like the feel of more I guess or if some people drop by with awesome advice ill try it! Currently its all multi and guided arrow for bosses but with insight i can start playing with strafe.

I'll happily do more HC P8 walks if people enjoy it, documenting your run adds a little theatre to your gameplay which is nice and always interesting to stir up discussion

I've only played phys bowa end game and with at least some gear, always done my playthroughs as either mage zon or java.

Do you have plans for hell? I get that poison can cut through normal, but curious as to your approach towards end of nightmare / hell. Goal items?

Harmony seems like a great choice in an elite base, the added elemental dmg helps with physical immune. Also atma scarab amulet cause I think amp dmg helps break physical immunity? Feel free to correct me. So far the insight bow is doing great though I may reroll for higher ed % if I get some sol runes

Yeah that would probably do good, the +valk and revives could also be of great use. lvl 10 vigor also not bad for survivability. Is buriza still good? Used to be a solid end-game budget option for phys bowas and it's a somewhat common drop.

iirc most (all?) phys immunes have 100 phys res, så yeah atmas will break it, but they'll still have high res. Magic arrow might be a better option. Or freezing arrow, but I guess that kinda goes against the 'phys bowa wt' mindset ^^

Haha yeah definitely no elemental skills! valk definitely going to be bae this run. buriza is amazing im sure but i have a weird thing against crossbows lol...time to update the thread with progress!

So with new bow in hand we venture back into Sanctuary to send more demon scum back to the depths of hell



Bloodraven Done - Guided Arrow ftw...run as much as you want!



First unique ring! Low roll nagel but this is a great ring for physical characters

Cain Done



Ive decided to run some Countess so going to roll a good WP to tower map



Epic for 3 tries! the tower levels are good too

Things are starting to drop now but this was the best one so far



Now with boots and gloves i gain 30% IAS and i can feel the diff. the extra atk rating doesnt hurt nor does the 10% ll.
The loss of life hurts a little but it should be fine

Tower Runs
#1 - Dol Tir Tal - Dol kept
#2 - Ort Eth
#3 - Tir Eth
#4 - Ral Tal
#5 - Eld Ort Thul - Thul kept
#6 - Hel - kept
#7 - Io Tal - Io kept
#8 - Tal Shael Ith - Shael kept
#9 - Nothing
#10 - Tal

Not keeping all runes was hard lol im a hoarder by nature but ive limited my stash to 1 page as a throwback to everyone who did these with the OG stash size. big props to them!
Maybe if i get my hoarding down with some practice ill do an old school LoD run one day



NM Malus



New ammy - +4 res from last one



Hawkmail! nice to have CBF though not fun running slower from losing Stealth
With the Io drop im looking for a 3 os helm to make Hearth. Than hawk can go to merc and make him a bulwark with the next io

Eth polearm! man i never find these so im hyped to try roll this. 4 os for insight or 5 os for honor



Rolling...



5 os! Honor it is, its a shame though cause i dont have an amn after rolling the sockets lol
im already in catacombs 4 though so Kasim wont get to use this weapon



NM Andy done! Insight feels really nice. Looking forward to getting a might merc to get some more dmg
