Yeah, wanted to try pvp as bowazon.

Lets start with my gear:

2zon 30frw 20dex 12life 13mana 2soc circ 2x 15ias/15max
cats eye
Faith mb 15ed/2ar
Forti Ap
Razortail
2pm 20ias kb 14str gloves
raven
8min 120ar 18str 13dex 23mana 18cres ring
Wartravs

eth titans/storm swap

So i actually have 20 ias too much, but i got told cats eye is still the best choice.
Shall i drop my gloves and look for nonias ones?

or just go 1x less ias jool in circ and sox something else?
If yes, what should i soc in there?

will use 3/xx/3's til i reach 125frw on faith swap, and 155 on titans swap.

From what i understood so far i gotta carry a cta in cube in my inventory to swap out for bo?
How does that work infight? Scared to drop that when i die actually

how much res should i aim for?
i planned on switching out some 3/xx/3 for 3/11res scs, thats the best way to do it?

what about absorb on certain matchup?

i assume against cold -> raven, light -> wisp, fire -> hots?

do i need any leech on my gear? or i just drink manapots?

how do i reach the fhr i need?

looking for suggestions to optimize this build

thanks in advance

Shadow/diamond vs casters and keep MB against melee with Arach.
Cta from cube is a pain on the ass but this is the way.

Stack single res for matchup. 3frw/11 are quite cheap.
If you don't like gear swap then just buy a bunch of 3frw/5@.
Keep it mind that you should overstack lite res (+100 with Forti).
Dungo vs melee and wind druid.
Trang belt if you depend on str from rare ring and you need to gear Wisp.
Life leech do nothing in pvp and hell. Can be just a indicator of target hitting. It matters only vs druid's zoo.

Get a Swordback when you don't need dr

why shadow/diamond vs casters?

These two have higher dps than Mat Bow, and you you have enough ias (65 bp) to reach 7fpa anyway.
Mat needs only 45ias but 65ias will allow you to counter the slowdown from Arach.

so its actually a good thing i have too much ias? sounds great

Yep, barb/telezon/java/hybrid sin/pal may gear arach.

matri bow damage is quite low tbh. highly recommend shadow at least with this setup.

already on it

so what about fhr?

and res/abs swaps for certain matchups?

Also get a good oldfashioned GMB + 30/45/120 + Nosferatu

you need 20fhr.
always 1 raven, you have have str on a rare ring but you need to be able to swap out the ring for a whisp at times. you dont need alot of swaps tbh
