Have to use ice for cold Bowa. Also, sell out on maek (mana after each kill). It is a very mana hungry build. Even with two sojs and insight lol. I have both elemental zon setups—the fire is more mana friendly (and you can use Phoenix bow to alleviate mana issues with added bonus of -fire res) but cold/freezing arrow has better clear speed. Can confirm both setups are viable for p8 in hell.

I wouldn’t use a cham, 5/5 cold facet is the choice. You shouldn’t get hit much if you’re ranging right thus no freeze. 1-2 arrows per mob in chaos if you’re using nw with 5/5 and ice bow. Shoot for matri bow for improved attack speed

Edit—a cold sunder is necessary also unless you use infinity merc

I had I ice bowa they can do a lot of dmg, can take out large groups quick. You can gear 1 cheap aswell, I did find mine being very dependent on mana though, but that can be fixed easy


You dont are expert D2 to say that

But that would kill My fcr.. Dont think its worth it i tryed a 3os 20fcr circlet with 3x 5/5 and the used 2 pm 20ias gloves but Nw and trang just felt better its great p1 but p8 is a problem i borrowed a infinite today to see if that would help i wish u could make a doom rw in a bow 🤣


I'd go for the 48 fcr for pvm should be plenty fast, I use 68fcr for PVP but I'd figure one lower then 48 should be fast enough for pvm.
