Hi everyone,

I play my lil physical bowa in hardcore as always, and I was wondering of a1 merc. Since it has been revamped, and now use frost arrow, I am really interested in, because for years I used a2 merc, which was never able to hit anything since I hit from afar and am very prudent (hc with low stuff). But what weapon to put on her ? I was thinking of Whichwild string, I am aware that 2% of casting amplify is low, but with a treachery on her, and some more ias, it would have a chance to proc at least on bosses, which are pain on bowazon unless you have high gear, which I dont.
Would it be interesting ? does the magical arrow base effect prevent her to use frost arrows ?
I ask those questions because I dont have one yet, so I would before trying to trade on bnet,

Sorry for the bad English and thanks =)

Best use of a1 merc is to put a faith or mist on her for the fanat/conc aura

If you insist on using an A1 merc with a cheap setup I’d go with Harmony for the mobility.

Melody in a +3 mat bow would be pretty nice. +6 to frozen arrow

What bow are you using yourself?

If you’re determined to go A1, I’d put the WWS (upped for more damage and better speed) on your Bowie and Harmony in ideally +3 Mat bow on merc. (I haven’t looked at the BP’s) so not sure what you should aim for with hat/armour.

Thing is, you’re a physical Bowie. You should use a might merc. So the whole thing is a little moot.
