not a bad idea, i was considering making one of these myself. i was thinking of pumping WoF + MB on a bowsin, i had a straight up firetrapper who was fun as hell, could keep most people locked continuously, not sure how that would fair with lower FCR, but pumping arrows into a locked windy druid sounds fun...

Hmm, I made one of these, I can't kill a thing with it, maybe it's just my inexperience with bows.. I tried it with this setup:

2x 5/-5 coa (30/11)
50% bramble
widowmaker 'um'
2x BK
Verdungos 40/15
Trangs
2/24 Shadowdancers
4x shadow skillers 7frw
6x shadow skillers 30+ life
Anni
5x 5allres
4x 20life charms

On switch CtA 5/sigons shield

maxed skills as you suggested and leveled to 90

I didn't use shadow claw precasts but I don't think it matters so much. I just couldn't kill any decent dueler. Sorcs just stayed away and rarely got hit. Pallys just charged me to death, babas tele + ww. druids got those summons everywhere... If you could write some dueling strategies it would be nice. Btw I modified this after I found it failure a bit and put him items to break 175fcr bp, I can kill ppl with mindblast only much better than with the bow =tongue.gif.

the idea of using Bow is to OW ppl...and lock with MB/trap

most common Bow Aassassin are either 6-7K trap dmg /OW bow or MB/Warrior/OW bow and none of those max Venom, just use the Venom charge on archanid mesh to scare ppl

It's a nice guide overall, and bow sins can be very fun, and decent in pvp if you use em right. I've played em, I've seen lots, there not as umcommon as you think.

I think you should definitely max dragon flight. Since you are wasting remaining points anyway, why not? You already wear shadow dancers, trangs and bramble. You're DF damage will be very strong. Basically with maxed dragon flight and all the venom gear, you can destory sorc's and bone necs with dragon flight. It also allows you two use two strong types of attacks. It's a very strong skill. Have dual claws on switch so you can weapon block. Shoot guided from a distance to make the sorc/nec come to you because he's tired of getting shelled by arrows, then when he does, weapon switch and dragon flight. Immediately run out of there and switch back to bow and repeat. It works well vs any caster really. Range them with arrows, then DF them when they get careless.


One thing though, as fun as these sins are, they really aren't the killers that the author is saying they are. I think most people reading will know that too. At least half the char builds will beat ya, just like bowazons. MANY weaknesses. I think you should just be proud of a nice guide you wrote, and be unique. But once you start flaming people and calling people out, your build will be exposed as average at best in pvp. Just chill out on the challenges. Owing WW sins, trap sins, you've got to be joking smile.gif

Good guide though.


BTW: I noticed in a post, you said you want to ideally get 80% FHR. Actually, you want 86%.
