I just want to beat hell on P1 softcore with a bowazon. What is the most powerful skill progression for a bowa?

Would it be exploding arrow through normal and cold bow after that? Would strafe/multi ever get better than elemental bow skills? Strafing with KB is so much fun but I just want to beat the game efficiently.

Did I fart?

Exploding arrow has been working well so far up to end of Act 3

Nomally I just use Javs and throw them while hunting for bows with elemental damage and/or Amp on striking... easy to find.

Normally by Act 2 Cube, just upgrade the gems to flawless or perfect and add to 2 or 3 soc bows for character and Cold arrow Rogue.

And pretty much go for Strafe (3-5 Arrows & use Decoy to lure to increase arrows) / Valk... once I hit level 30, all goes to Valk, this is your tank, you can still keep rogue... but Durial will be your most annoying boss Normal other than Baal if you don't have stacked fire res and max light res.

Been awhile for me doing this, but that is what I normally do, I also only add stats to vita: Base to 50 in norm, Base to 75-100 in Nightmare & Hell. 1 Base FA, 10 to Cold Arrow (synergy that increases FA damage, NOT the one for Freeze length).

Thanks, I will re-spec to Strafe once I hit 30. Getting pretty close. For bow I farmed countess for 3 ral to make ort and then made Zephyr for really fast exploding arrow which is killer so far...
