I like the detail here its a good comprehensive overview of the modern build.

My only preference is for bb/forty if euscnl (Im assuming bb is not available on your realm) - as I prefer to get 5.9k ga 2k+ life, if you duel hammers a lot then 2k+ life makes a big difference as you are not 1 hit killed by them.
If bb was not available then I would still aim for 2k+ life simply to survive one hammer at the expense of slightly lower damage makes life much easier.

Also faith shadow bows > diamond imo for the max damage potential which as you pointed out give the zon a nice change in options from the standard gmb setup.
Shadow also gives the option for a 45% ow setup with bow dracs/ow belt/gores - might be BM but depends on where/who you are dueling!

But really nice guide overall - I do think the 2k+ life is quite an important goal for a modern bowie?

Well with 12k hammers 2k+ life will survive 1 hit.

doesn't really matter since you'll never get hit by conc'd hammers unless you're extremely careless.

You should never get hit by a conc'd hammer. If you do, that means you're not moving enough.

desync hammerdin could be anywhere but the only place he'll be able to hit you is when you're standing still. All other hammers should be visible.

Sure it's unlikely, but saying you never get hit [or should never get hit] is a bit pompous.

Also, it's quite easy to get all the things you need from a vita zon. My tellyzon [without the psn] still had 43dr, stacked resists, and 1-3k dmg with faith gmb [that's w/ nigma, and without +dmg small charms -- 10x 5/5's, torch, anni] On the low end my life was at 2.3k with out bo.

The wagon wheels aren't broke.
