With coa,fort, faith, anni and torch you only have 115 res. Where will you get the other 60+ to reach max in hell? Not all from some rare boots right?

I think you to sacrifice some max dmg scs for some res ones in stash..

Also, the anya quest is glitched isn't it? If you die once the res isn't counted anymore until you rejoin correct?

~~~~~~~~~ GUIDE REVISION - 04/28/2010 ~~~~~~~~~

Since posting the Vitality Bow Amazon guide over two years ago I have been meaning to revise a few things. These revisions are based on hundreds of helpful comments posted here as well as years of experimenting with various gear and dueling techniques.

1) Keep titans + SS in your stash and make sure you have enough dex for max block for dueling smiters/chargers and various other characters that require the ability to block. I didn’t include this in the original build; however, it is probably the most effective way for a bowzon to beat a smiter/charger.

2) I have received many comments about putting the cube in your inventory and keeping a cta in there. Titans + SS would become your regular weapon switch and the cta would just replace the titans for a few seconds while you cast BO. The advantage of this is that it removes the hassle of constantly returning to your stash to switch between cta + spirit and titans + SS. The disadvantage is that you loose +2 skills from your BO level (+120 life) and 4x sc from your inventory (+120 life & +120 dmg).

3) I now recommend using faith made in a 0 base speed bow such as diamond, ward or shadow bows as an alternative option to the GMB. These bows require 65% ias to hit 7 frames instead of the 92% ias required by GMB. Your dmg per arrow will be less with these bows but you will get to shoot at 7 frames instead of 8 frames with GMB. To do this you will need to use 20% ias kb gloves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok nice.

Nothing about the jav skills to use though.

But anyways I'm using the faith grand mart bow and will have 95ias with 30frw/120/45, cats eye, kb/20ias gloves, and nosfers belt..

I'm loosing the 30dr from your build but will hit 7 frames with the grand marton. I'm also loosing that fhr and res from coa but making up for it in the stash.

Also I will require to no added str from gear to use all stuff. Will have about 120 base str, then put a 40ed/-15req jewel in ss + 20str from titans and it's enuf.

Only about 60 dex more needed to get max block with the 20dex from titans.. So all but 60 points to go into vitality.

But I did use build from the start to think about how to build my next zon!! Really was going to use coa/dungos at first and just go for 8 frames, but then couldn't sell my 30frw tiara, so changed.

Also, when you use a ward bow or something you loose 3 to the guided arrow as well.

Cube BO doesn't make you lose +2 bo, you're meant to put Arachs/2x sojs/maras in the cube. o.o

/e well unless you mean losing spirit, but i prefer cta/ss over cta/spirit if i was gonna use cta on swap >_<

/e2 I like the irony of someone commenting about how enlightened they feel after finding out that "7 fpa is overrated" and then the guide owner recommending 7 fpa right after xD

Hi, for number 3, can i ask why you choose a non-amazon specific class bow over a matriarchal bow? IS the average damage of the non-amazon bows that significant over the +3 to crossbow & bow skill that mat bow gives?
