This guide is very similar to a Damach zon, but without a bow. Personally I find the almost doubled life from Bo switch a lot more important: Double life = Double Tanking / Double duel time survivability / Double damage able to be delt.
Why not? 40% ias, only lose 2 levels of bo, and almost 300% ed....seems reasonable to me.
I mentioned using a cta bow:
" I use to just use a Cta Mat bow on switch and have 1 point in guided, but personally I find the extra 4 skill points saved and the 2+ to bo from spirit more beneficial than a weak and slow guided that I only every really used vs super defensive trapers and killing peeps on 1hp.
It's also really handy having a Spirit Mon at hand to easily switch over to hit the 99fcr bp vs those pesky necs and sorcys. "

I suggest you try putting a CTA in your inventory instead of in a cube, and trying that for a change- its what I've always used on my damach zon.
You lose 2 skillers instead of 1, but it makes swapping in your CTA essentially inconsequential.
I hotkeyed BC -> BO -> (left click) CS
all in a row, so that while switching, it would reset my hotkeys to keep left click CS every time.
If you're doing that, theres no problem to using an inventory CTA, and by extension, a bow.
Nice idea with the hotkeying.
Having cta in inventory does make it marginally less tiresome to BO, but then you're loosing another skill GC in doing so, on top of the extra 2+all skills to bo, being able to quickly switch over to spirit for more fcr/fhr and the possibility of keeping arach / cats / sorb in cube aswell.
After a few years of dueling with my Damach zon "You_Tube" Eastl / nl. (I quit in 2010 btw), I began to use my bow less and less and found poison jav / throwing furys at walls more effective for the last hp killers. But like I said, personal preference. I'm super lazy so will always take to hassle-free road
