Hey folks. Currently in A5 nm with a lvl 39 Bowazon. It's gotten to the point where I do hardly any damage...... and the run thru has drastically slowed up. Any pointers where to farm? Otherwise, I'm about to try n lure minions out, fight baal for 3 hours to do nm cows. MAybe run pindle 5k times too? Just need upgrade this godforsaken bow!

nightmare and yeah I suppose the 2 would be solid runs. Been doing eldritch, but I'm afraid my MF is so garbage I never get any rares. Although, D2SE provides that awesome ability to easily run as many D2 instances as you'd like. So I was also filling 8player games and running norm cows. May try that later again, see if there are still large benefits.

probably not haha. Didn't record anything or s.s anything yet so would be missing 3/5 of the WT alrdy.

You should lvl up to at least 50 for finishing nm, better 60+

Also there are some crazy mf bugs that give you all set/all unique/ all rare, but i dont remeber if its for normal bosses or act bosses(which have always the same drop table as in norm).

Maybe google it for a second

Edit:
ok i cant find it myself atm, but i know i read a guide telling something about 2 points of mf, one for sets and one for uniques, but iirc only for act bosses. And something about rares on boss monsters iirc.... sry i cant spend more time looking for it atm

There is no MF bug in 1.08.

Before 1.07 there was no diminishing return, which means that with certain breakpoints you were able to force bosses/act bosses to drop sets/rares/uniques. In 1.08 they raised these breakpoint to the moon, which resulted in poor drops. Basically there is no need to have MF in 1.08 because you will barely notice the effect.
Another thing is that in 1.07 and 1.08 act bosses can only drop from their normal TC, so it is completely useless to farm any of them in higher difficulties.

The only thing you can do to obtain some nice sftuff, is rack running, however racks can not drop bows.

In the light of the above, I would say playing a bowazon in 1.08 is extremely challenging.
