You can see that windforce gives much higher average damage at higher levels than phoenix. It also has mana leech, like phoenix. Using WF, you do lose the Ignore Target Defence and sexy redemption, but achieve much higher damage. I believe there is a separate guide up for using Phoenix, please look here.

Edit: That is your guide. / So... I'm sure you knew that it was there. For a lvl 90, WF has a 610%ed equivalent avg damage.

OH MY GOD!
I've been thinking to make a bowazon for a long, long, long, long, long, bump, long, long time now....
But I just cannot afford that damn faith for merc.... :'( is there no other way to get ias bp when using wf only? (when not having faith on merc).
I must say it's a god damn nice guide!

// Your biggest fan from now on.

When you say that the faith on the merc must have atleast level 13 fanatism aura... is that without the extra skills that faith gives? or is can it be like lvl 12 aura and then faith gives 2 skills and that gives lvl 14 aura..? or it doesn't work like that on merc? :S

Well I have created a windforce bowa with might/pride merc.
I reach the last ias bp (147%) and do over 9.8k damage (only lvl85)
still have 40 stat points remaining (thinking of a bit of vita)

I am just curious to know your dmg with your zon?
what lvl she is?
how much dex showin on char screen?

thank you for that info.

Auras granted from items when worn do not get their levels increased unless "a player" is carrying a second item giving the same aura, as is the case with using dual dreams. +skills, bo or any other boosts do not work for increasing it's level.

Okay! thanks alot!!

Thx for your kind words. You can use a 160/60 armor and a 120/45 helm, but those things are gonna cost alot. If you have a Windforce, but not much else I would reccomend a Treachery armor. It gives 45ias + some other nice mods. You will ofc loose damage, but its a nice armor for a very low price.




I would like to help you out here, but atm my beloved ama isnt equipped atm. If I where you I wouldnt put any pts in vita. If you die alot now, then try practising more on play-style and placing your Valk and Decoy(decoy is a little 1pt wonder)

lol pwnt. i agree with KremBanan in that if you die a lot using a bowa with kb, then you should practice learning to use your character to its maximum potential.
Although, i think having some 20 lifers would help, but not much. In pvp it helps.
thanks for the awesome guide KremBanan. this answered some anonymous questions i had about wf zons, so much 'preciated.

Omg, I only noticed it now. Well, atleast I have it correct in the guide...
