I've been working on building this out as a little side project on ladder after getting sort of bored with my infinity scythe sorc and hammerdin.
Haven't played bowa since 1.09 buriza times so I'm pretty much clueless about what's going on. I was just watching Kim's videos and reading this thread, the build felt fun so I decided to try my luck and rolled a Faith in a mat bow. Got a 14/2/344 on the first attempt which felt nice enough to carry on with the rest of the build, so I stole enigma from the pally and now here I am with a level 86 tele bowa.
Today I got the final parts of the gear set in tiara (socketed with 3x1513 because I'm poor and also still want something to aspire to) and a somewhat decent double leech fcr ring.
And well, it's fun when it works, but definitely not comfortable playing ppl8 games with this yet. After playing ES sorc (and mostly in players 1, at that) this feels like a rude awakening even in players1-2, because I keel over if anything just stares at me the wrong way. I'm not fully loaded with max/ar/life yet, life is at 684, I'm guessing I need to get a bit more vit instead of pumping everything into dex to make the transition a bit easier? And compared to sorc's 96 Emilio with Forti buffed by CtA, my poor eth reapers Jemali has a hard time staying alive too. All of this is just making me want to skip the FCR provided by wizzy and use a CtA instead, lol.
I guess it just demands a lot more from me as a player than the common op pvm meta builds I'm used to, and it'll get better with experience, but there's also a big and vocal part of me that wants to cut my losses and just sell it all.
Other than maybe trying to not teleport into the middle of fana packs (bad ES sorc habit), any other advice on how to play this efficiently? Do I just git gud?
This is a bowzon after all. You can't compare the clear speed it to top 3 meta builds.
I have enough fg to make any godly geared meta builds but I don't because I only enjoy telebowa. Well I pvp with her too so it's not just pvm. I'm over with pvm anyway.
What skills you put in? And yes you need 800 life. And sounds like you literally just finished gearing her up. Just play more to get better. I have like 50 videos in my channel. Watch them and see if you can get some tips in game play.
