I did read it, but still... if u want to makes somethign different, make a pure Strafe-Zon, but please, do not sue Phoenix :/

I made a Phoenix build just to see what it was like to PvM with 2 yeas ago, actually I got a surprise that it worked, now it just laggs and drops games.
I put this back up because I thought it would be funny if someone made, joiined full duelling games to crash it. Oh well.

No point in pure strafe zon, after you get maximum arrow, you only get 5% damage per skill point



hehe, i like the x on the end

Ok, that's something different, it explains a lot :>

And ED is ED, the more u get the more damage u will make
U have also the skillpoints on a pure strafe build.

greetings

Thanks.

Just for fun gaming.

not bad at all
8/10

if you wanna crash games
3 fpa strafezon wws with as many effects on strike as possible.. things like tornado,firesorm and so on can be done quickly

thinking outside of boxes is okay, playing non-mainstream is okay, but playing , sorry for the harsh word, non-brain is not okay
why would I choose Items that cost more or are used, if there are far better items avialable
cat`s is highest end, a little below is highlords... If I would not use one of those, the only reasonable possibility is atma`s scarab

also I`d simply say.
If you wanna go glass cannon build, this equals damage as damage can and this means war traveller`s

I have to fully vouch mors_agni.. all that has been said is correct

I would also say.. that advising somebody to hang around in baalruns,chaosruns and so on will not teach you how to operate the char and how to actually play it....
mastering all difficulties and tasks with it is a better school than the throne or leeching in cs or tristram

teleport on a bow.ama.. you kill all monsters off screen.. you will never really be in trouble and a little comparison
an amazon with 99% fcr is as fast as a sorceress or barb with 20% fcr
teleporting with an amazon is pointless

rather use forti/coh/ormus or 60/160
low cost: lionheart

crushing blow is pointless on a bowie.. it is cut in half because of range attacks and monster`s physical resistances are applied.... there are better ways for bosskilling than 10% cb

like the good old reaper`s mighter with gulli and treachery

glasscannon builds never have to worry about ar... you have more than 10k anyway and 6k+ is enough for pvm

other options.
blue circ with 3 socks+frw/str/life
natalya`s helmet
Laying of hands

raven is not needed that m,uch.. you are a bowie monsters die before they come near enough to freeze you and rare ll/ dualleacher have better stats, not ot mention bloodcrafts

cta is not needeed/ you don´t have +skills to makie it shine

where is your decoy
lvl 20 valkyre is not needed lvl 17 with items is the only important point if one wants a valkyre because of the rare pike

resistances on a bowie o_O never heard anybody complain about them... I prefer my maxdam/ar charms and little resis+ 600 life without BO builds (basevita,fortitude)


sorry not really a good guide

If i wanted a CTC character now, I would create it, please note that this build was PRIOR to "Dupe Lag" patch mid 1.10

thinking outside of boxes is okay, playing non-mainstream is okay, but playing , sorry for the harsh word, non-brain is not okay
why would I choose Items that cost more or are used, if there are far better items avialable Since I could afford to make extreme items at no cost to me, why not?, I made these builds after my sorcs, hammerdin, demonbasher barb, Vengeance, conv/zealer, and was bored, became rich from mf'ing and trading, shit i could have made 10x Phoenix's and be happy. It is about making something FUN and new, while still affording it.
cat`s is highest end, a little below is highlords... If I would not use one of those, the only reasonable possibility is atma`s scarab
ONCE again, you have not read, there is mention to cats and hl, as for Atmas, I may have missed, not sure

also I`d simply say.
If you wanna go glass cannon build, this equals damage as damage can and this means war traveller`s
Again, Every CAT & his DOG knows War Travs to be the best boots, I chose Cow Kings for 3 reasons.
#1 30% FRW
#2 25 Dexterity
#3 Easy & Cheap option

I have to fully vouch mors_agni.. all that has been said is correct
If you read his comeback, you would realise why he understood the build

I would also say.. that advising somebody to hang around in baalruns,chaosruns and so on will not teach you how to operate the char and how to actually play it....

Ummm, this build was not for LEECHING, before the PATCH for lag dupe, I use to run Chaos with this build, and it surprised everyone how effective it was and how they did not die even if they were in front of me, even some of the Hammerdins would just pickup the drops because there was no danger too them.
Also, I use to run Chaos with this build in a Full Baal run by myself to get drops.

teleport on a bow.ama.. you kill all monsters off screen.. you will never really be in trouble and a little comparison
an amazon with 99% fcr is as fast as a sorceress or barb with 20% fcr

Teleporting with this zon helps you with some areas of gamestyle. Keeping merc close, getting valk out after placing decoy. Getting past obstructions, or getting over the otherside of the wall where you can see the next lvl

rather use forti/coh/ormus or 60/160
low cost: lionheart
If you actually read it, you would of found out that I included the Fort/CoH and later on mentioned that I did not want GODLY 160/60 armor, as for Lionheart, would not like it personally

crushing blow is pointless on a bowie.. it is cut in half because of range attacks and monster`s physical resistances are applied.... there are better ways for bosskilling than 10% cb
Besides the calculations, isn't it obvious that some CB is better than NO CB?, anyway, I know that 1/8 damage is applied vs monsters with CB and Ranged and also that it is 1/16 in duels
Oh, by the way, if you read the other "Concept" you would of noticed that it did not have CB

like the good old reaper`s mighter with gulli and treachery
there was no such thing as Treachery in 1.10, that is a 1.11 runeword. And Reapers maybe a damn nice wpn, but, not for this build, also note that you have 2x Merc setups on concepts and only 1 on WF. Maybe reading will help you.

glasscannon builds never have to worry about ar... you have more than 10k anyway and 6k+ is enough for pvm
Maybe next time check the bowazons chance of hitting baal in a full game, or any other bosses

other options.
blue circ with 3 socks+frw/str/life no skill, only 2 mods on Blue: Jewellers/FRW or Jewellers/Life
natalya`s helmet no skill, IAS
Laying of hands Good item yes, again I have mentioned this, but you did not READ

raven is not needed that m,uch.. you are a bowie monsters die before they come near enough to freeze you and rare ll/ dualleacher have better stats, not ot mention bloodcrafts
More Dex/AR and cold absorb from skellie archers or even "Holy Freeze" aura bosses

cta is not needeed/ you don´t have +skills to makie it shine
Helps for pre-casting the valk (1 more lvl) and on a glasscannon, extra life is always welcome, even if the BO is lvl11

where is your decoy Base 1 point Decoy making it lvl11+ for sustainability, zon will kill fast enough or KB them back
lvl 20 valkyre is not needed lvl 17 with items is the only important point if one wants a valkyre because of the rare pike
More damage and enough survival ability to give your zon enough time to kill or hunt around for those damn arrows if you run out.

resistances on a bowie o_O never heard anybody complain about them... I prefer my maxdam/ar charms and little resis+ 600 life without BO builds (basevita,fortitude)
Resistences are for the AURA bosses, like Fire/Cold, and also for the Cold enchanted, there are also the Archers that fire elemental damaging arrows


sorry not really a good guide


Quite honestly, if you read the guide and the "Other" items options, you may have more time explaining other things.

well claiming that something is new only because it is not used due to the fact that other items are superior.. where is the innovation in that

2. easy + cheap does not equal high end+ cow king boots only drop in one area while wt`s can drop in several areas that are visited far more often than cows, so i`d also argue about the price here....
25 dex versus 20 average damage and 10 vita and 10 str
frw--> circlet ^^

you don´t understand me with leaching , do you... how do you get to lvl 80......

teleport is not needed if we play a bowzon, especially one with frw...
we do areas like the cs and rof.. which consist of fixed parts that are only mixed.. taking one look at them shows you the way without relying ton teleport, but hey if you really need teleport, use charges... enables you to choose stronger armors while still maintaining more safety

cb: normally takes away 25% monsterlife
12,5% in ranged combat
and now comes the monster`s physres- so effectively maybe 6% are being taken away
now looking at the 20 avdam and our off weapon ed... we do more damage with wt`s than with gores in 99,999999999999999999999999999999% of the cases

we are now in 1.12 so treachery is avialable.. if you are not able to update your guide properly.....
by the way there are ias jewels and several armors with 3 socks............. and they are around since 1.07

maybe next time you check things like ga, ma or fa and what they do
you could also have a look at inner sight or your merc setup

natalya has str+dex+resis which equal more ed than skills+ free socket for ias.. it beats the giant skull on any day of the week
I am totally aware of only 2 mods on circs but hey.. this thing has one more socket, which means either more speed--> other choices in eq or more ed than you`d gain from skills

your bowie can take out bnosses from longer rangfe than their aura
2. rares offer leach,stats,resis,ar--> free space in inventory and equipoment--> more ar/damage possible than from using 2 ravens

there is nothing I could care less abouzt than life on a decent glasscannon build
by the way.. the cta slot gives you only +2 valk--> same thing from cliffkiller or lycander, and withg those we have even some other strong aspects given..

the three levels less psnet in valk and put into decoy give that valk more survivability than the valk itself but I ain`t telling oyu such simple things right now

have yopu ever heard of shooting off-screen, slower missiles and so on...
cold arrow archers do not hit you, neither do aura-enchatned bosses....... Okay only if one knows how to work with an amazon


still not a good guide
