I really want to test a bowazon build to farm cows but idk which build I choose, I already have standard items like enigma, highlords, raven frost and etc... and I already have 3 Jah runes to spend on this character which build should I choose from among bowazon options?



few options:

1) faith bow/fort/mana leech ring/ merc with pride for concentration aura

2) windforce/160-60 armor/ias gloves / merc with faith for fanatism aura

any of these builds will shred cows within 3~5 mins depending where the portal spwans

for PvM on my pvp bowa I just switch to diamond bow faith, and 40/15'd vampire gaze while keeping on fort. diamond faith just needs 65 ias, so 20 gloves, 10 belt, 20 amulet ( cats eye ), and then the helm. you can get 15 ias plain jewel or a 15 ias with low ed for pretty cheap. I have a plain 15 ias jewel if you need it just PM me ( free ofc ). just need the vampire gaze helm to put it in.

with Vgaze you get high leech on mana and life, little bit of DR for bow side which is nice. GMB faith with 160/60 variant ( i.e. lower ed ) with gaze could work also, in which case you wouldn't need the ias from helm unless you want to have a different belt. so for GMB you're looking at 60 ias on armor, 20 amulet, 20 gloves so you're covered there. my GMB+160/60 setup actually has more damage, but the Diamond option is cheaper. 30 res on the fort is nice, so diamond is a solid way to go for overall res/dmg/survivability.

btw, what do you want to kill mainly with bowazon? say, my challenge is to kill Ubers, which is totally different from a build for killing cows fast.

no you dont. bp is at 95, your gear gives only 65. for the highest bp with GMB and forti you need 45ias from your headgear. also: why kiras? you dont need resists for cows
