50% fire resistance, 50life = 16dex and 40% FRW. Faster ran and walk is more important to an ama than a little bit ed. WT is the exception becauae the flat damage increase is significant.



Hotspurs / Infernos are better if you need fire Res and you can swap HL to Cat’s if you need more FRW with Hots, 50 Life doesn’t give that 16 dex, 10 more FRW wont save you and you get that amount from SC easy anyway, so there is no need to make your Bowa a handicapped one.

e: WT are bis boots, Aldurs are bad choice at Bowa, Druid use aldurs, or Necs, but not Bowas.

+15 max fire resistance does nothing for a zon, what for? Losing 40FRW is big. You'd need 14 3frw scs to compensate, I rather have max dmg/life/ar. That's a lot of gimping. Then you take out highlords for cat's eye for hotspurs :D Even more dmg gimping. Sry, but this is absurd. 50life means you can spend 16 points more in dex for additional 16ed and still keep a life pool of around 800-1000 in pvm.

Wartravs by a landslide
Trires boots can be convenient but resist charm swap yields higher outcome if you can be bothered (make the math and youll see)

War travs, the 15-25 damage, if you have the classic setup of faith + might/pride merc, equals about 300 total average extra damage when you factor in everything, including critical strike and amplify damage from atma's scarab. The magic find is hard to get on other items.

I'd never let my ama wear hotspurs and take out highlords for cat's eye just to wear those boots, over my dead body :D BiS is Wartravelers, under certain circumstances aldurs.

You can do as you like but keep your opinions to yourself about this subject. Top Bowas have dueled against Fire Sorcs with Infernos / Hots as boots before you have even found this game and they still duel. Use Aldurs, but please don’t recommend others to use them as Bowa.

Ah, you're coming up with a very specific matchup in PVP :D Well, vs all the others you need flat dmg or more frw.

hotspurs or tri resists... Depending on situation

^ this

Unless you are strictly playing a level 90+ bowazon in nightmare difficulty, Bowazons are not exactly demon mowers. So, it's survivability that is key.
