I guess the 50 life loss is slightly off. However, remember that the 20 life is also multiplied by BO so it'll be something near 85 life loss.

You don't need SS with this build because you already have 31% DR on bow and an artistans shield of deflecting would allow you to hit 50% DR.

As much as I seem to bash CoA, I have tested it before and will say that it isn't nearly as bad as some people think.

my bo is 68%

meaning that 20 life is actually 33 life

so in the end its -120 + 33 = 87 life lost

However, on ladder its a completely different story since they only have 3% frw sc available.

(+200 - 120)* 1.68 - 87 = 47 life gained

It is my build and my guide i will use the gear i want and i will do as i please. If you or anyone else doesnt want to use the setup, dont... its that simple, you can argue about COA sucking, or FHR being for newbs or whatever you like. In the end it doesnt get you anywhere and my build is still here and people will continue to use it.

"yes, i looked at your guide and dueling strategy and I think it had a lot of influence on my strats as well. I didn't mean to copy, i just got caught in the middle as i use similar strategies on my zon."

well see thats the problem, I didnt copy you, or your guide. And like i said anything similar is either a coincidence or common knowledge. Maybe if you gave a more specific example of me ripping off your strategies it would help. I wouldn't get to high and might there tho, because i hate to break it too you but most dueling strategies from all the guide are pretty much the same and none of them copied off of each other nor did I. The basic concept of shooting and running seems to be a pretty uniform idea amongst all bowzons since the game first was released. I cant imagine even you would have the balls to claim that you invented that idea. Or have you already flamed every thread related to amazons and claimed it as your own work?


Well thats the point. If u think it sucks dont use it. I decided to experiment with it and try something out of the ordinary, and guess what, it worked fantastic. As i said before i've killed more then when i had my glass zon cuz i die less. Ive been in ALOT of ZvZ with glass zons so far, and as it seems, i havent lost a duel to a bowzon yet. I also dont die to smiters nearly as much either. With enough fhr/dodge/dr/life, i can actually sit there and spam arrows at them and let kb take effect so they die. Ofc i still die to smiters and sins (godly ones, and only godly ones), but i kill them alot more now that i dont die in 1 hit like a fuckin puss.

Now take what i said, and add the fact that mine isnt even as good as his cuz i didnt feel like pouring that much into my zon until i saw how it worked.

why do u say a glass cannon has 1k life? i have made one with 2k life before. ( always consider worst scenario ) wink.gif

Other than that i will say that i personally wouldnt use this build if i were to make a bowazon and also smiters would own this char. Even if u get in tons of puddles a tele smiter could just tele on to u and u would be screwed lol. If ur a bowazon there is absolutely no way of beating a skilled smiter unless u hits window key lol. Also some smiter might feel to strap a doom zerk on if they feel u are bm'ing by getting in puddles ( only pub smites would do this though ).

Idk im just the kind of person that wants to use ONE character to vs. any char i ever duel ( i use a smiter ). Maybe thats why i wouldnt use this build but idk its a personal preference.

Other than that its a GG build cuz its different than all these cookie cutter builds.
well thought out
Neat
Unique
