That makes a lot of sense!

So progression wise mist mat bow before we can afford faith, hits 7 frames and way cheaper.

In terms of fg price now it seems like windforce 30-50 fg, mist mat bow 100-200 fg, faith bow 1-2k+ depending on if you self roll the mist and faith or buy one with good rolls!

I just got faith shadow and mist matri bow from some trades, gonna play around a bit and test out. Didn’t get a pride polearm yet though.

For windforce set up, what gear would you suggest on the Amazon? I can put my faith on merc and try that too.


Shadow Faith + Eth Reapers is the best in slot for pure bowa. This is the end game.

WF + Faith Merc is very strong too.

Gotcha - i went through your YT and watched a ton of vids, it looks like you went back to Faith Matri bow in the end? So many videos! hard to tell which set up you ended with! Now i need to find a 3 socket 20 faster cast tiara - what should i pay for that?

I change around a lot since I make full bowzon and sell all the time for fun.

Shadow is the best damage for pure bowzon, period.

For hybrid build, Mat is the best to save some skill points and move them to CS and synergies as much as possible.

It's totally fine! You can still do it well. Couple points in jav side isn't that big difference anyway.

I just got a mancatcher infinity to try hybrid again.

Mancatcher needs 65ias to hit the quickest ias frame so it works perfectly with shadow faith.

I did have this before for fun build and maxed cs and 1 max synergy took about 9 to 10 seconds to down p8 diablo.

In comparison, tstroke and spirit took about the 10 seconds to do the same with cs and 2 max synergies.

But tstroke and spirit is a ton more safer to tele so it's a different style.

Will report back.

Tstroke and spirit is a lot cheaper than an infinity swap too!

Then again i used to have a2 might merc with infinity on my hybrid telebowa, but she was more invested on the jav side i think, at which point it didnt really make much sense to ever use my bow... hmmm....

is mancatcher a better base than an amazon specialty spear? I'm not familiar with their IAS breakpoints.

Yes tstroke and spirit is much much much cheaper.

Infinity merc is very good with faith frost maiden build. It's highest dmg dealing bow skill for bowzon. I have a video somewhere seal popping p8 chaos solo under 1min and 30seconds.

But freezing has too small aoe to make it efficient clearer unfortunately.

Yes mancatcher needs 65ias to hit the 9 frame which is quickest. Mat spear needs 125 I think. So for faith zon, mancatcher is a much better choice.

Even for spear zon, mancatcher is a better one to use. I hate javzon playstyle but I love spearzon so I tried all

Np and yes spear zon really shine at 9 frame. Otherwise it's clunky to play. So mancatcher ones can use act 5 merc with lawbringer plague flickering flame aura boosts while zon rekt everything.

Mat spear zon uses faith merc

Damn a5 merc sound fun, been wanting to try one on my sorc. What is a good base for the merc swords to make the runewords? So many things to try. Still might get a windforce for fun Testing since it’s so cheap.

Question, should I stop crafting my 20ias knockback gloves and just stick to Laying of hands?
