How can you claim that Cta + Spirit is better than Eth Upg Titan + SS? :huh:

Max block will save you a lot more times than 1k life.. :wacko:

My bowama has
2,6k life
Max Block
50dr with ss + titan
75@ 80lr
150frw cap
2.6k-3.5k 7 fpa with diamond
1.7k-4.2k 7fpa with shadow (not 100% sure dmg with this bow since i prefer diamond)


I don't know what kind of Bvc/bva, smite/chargers, ww assas you've met. But I'm pretty sure they'll rape your ass since you can't defend yourself with the 30%dr and lacking frw to runaway AND NO MAX BLOCK :baby:

Swap that gmb for shadow or diamond. And throw that coa away for a 2ama 30frw xx dex xxlife xxres 2sox diadem "2*40/15" instead..

You also said that you would swap for TG when challenging lightelements, how are you going to do that when you need the 10ias from your nosferateu?

or you can upgrade to GMB and lose the meager adds that circlet gives, in exchange for good damage.

Just double checked my dmg.

2400 - 4000

2400 + 4000 / 2 = 3200

Avg dmg 3200. I have 7fpa and not 8fpa. Do the math kid.

€: this is without the 74% chance of Critical strike counted in.

~~~~~~~~~ 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.
