Making a bowazon for nostalgia . Thoughts on the following?

multi shot/guided arrow/strafe? Going to be mainly doing multi- what’s best secondary now?

Faiths GMB (lvl 15 aura) in mainhand. Worth doing this with pride merc or give to a1 mercy and go WF?

What ias breakpoint should I shoot for assuming lvl 15 faith aura?


22 ias - 9 ticks
46 ias - 8 ticks
92 ias - 7 ticks


Also, thoughts on supplementing teleport at all? Is enigma out of the question? Should I try for tele in a helm or amy? Tele in offhand which sacrifices BOs)


Back in my day we just needed a burriza and white rings haha

Pvm or pvp?

Pvm

if d2r, i like mist on zon and faith for merc

Have you considered using brand bow and faith on Merc?

With GMB Faith you *need* 95 ias. A single ias BP is huge DPS boost & makes playing Bowazon smoother.
After 2.4 boost Strafe is good, best way is to have Strafe on one key, Multi on the other, hotkey for Magic Arrow, Guided is only vs bosses.

Overall most effective Bowazon is telebowa:

GMB Faith 13+ fana
Circ 30frw or 20fcr, 3 sockets with +45ias/45max or +45ias/120ed
Highlords
MP or DS Enigma
Raven Frost & rare ring +9min +mana leech +resistances (ecspecially light res), some +dex or +life or +max on top
Nosferatu coil belt
Wartrav
Laying of Hands

7-9 GC 14 max, 10 sc 3max/ar/20life

On swap wizspike + SS, or wizspike + spirit, or CTA + spirit

Merc eth andy + eth coh (yes, not forti, coh -> +2 might aura) + pride (on p1) and eth reaper on p6-8
If soloing p8 CS, change eth andy to GFace

...

Runner bowa:
Enigma -> Forti or +120 max jeweler armor
Highlords still better, but might consider Cats eyes
Need many SC +3max/ar/3frw

If on swap Harmony, then merc with Pride
On p6-8 if on swap Naj, then merc with Eth reaper, but its irritating cuz of charges & might be risky



that is TERRIBLE idea, good luck tanking damage with glass cannon bowazon for that amplify
And maxing VITA is like -300-400%ED, NOPE

I've done it at nl. Not bad but works better with the brand on the Merc and faith on the bowa. Another interesting combo is java with cta bow

Very interesting.

Zon uses windforce
Merc uses faith
