If it matters at all - it is PVM bowazon


Thank you all for the voting and shared opinions guys

I am going to try both anyway, but seems like people prefer GMB

For PvM Atma and razortail are BiS if you want to farm in p5+ for that GMB is not a great choice, Mat don' have damage, so you need to use a normal bow, not a amazon bow

30frw 3sox with 3 15Max damage/15IAS jewel (better than 40/15 for this build, and cheaper)
Atma's Scarab
Faith Diamond or Shadow Bow 14+ Fana needed
Fortitude
Laying of Hand
Razortail
Raven Frost
Dual leech ring (LR is very welcome, @res is also nice, both is perfect)
War Travelers

Anni/torch and max damage/ar/life charms, you can max fire and light resist if you want with some charms.

Act 2 NM offensive merc (might aura) with Pride, and any +4 skill gear to get +4 might (like andariel visage/delirium + Chain of honor).

Very usefull indeed... thanks a lot

Anyway I was collecting 3 frw + max / ar scs till now. They are not usable for PVM build or just damage/ar/life charms are better?

Usable for sure, but pvm bowa are usually glass canon (full dex 0 vita) so all your life come from the hp in your charms.

I use harmony on switch, and that is plenty frw already, charm are not going to boost that too much, so hp in charms are preferable.

There is a guide out there that have cta on switch and full frw charms, also glass canon, you end up with more hp and more frw with random hp charms and harmony than with perfect frw charms and cta.

In the second page on that link, you have a d2maxroll link with a perfect WF bowa and my setup.

WF is less damage, resist and skillls points, you have knockback instead that IMO is not necessary at all, if you don't need kb either my setup is better, if you need it, go WF.

Diamond for merc, correct?

I made 15 aura Shadow bow in 15/3 base and seems fine to me

is there difference if the skill of faith is 1 or 2 for merc ?
