Not a bad guide. Add a dueling strat section (which I noticed more than a few people were asking for) and it's as good as finished.

As for all you ww sins out there (except Koda for obvious reasons)... WW sin "by and large" is very cookie cutter these days. However like every character class if you have worked hard on yours and have skill then take pride in it because most other people w/ one barely know what they are doing (if at all).

Remember, eventually all good characters become cookie cutter as their popularity rises. It doesn't make you any less of a good player just because you use what other people use. And if you use your own "special" version then write us up a guide; watch other people make the cookie cutters off you then wink.gif

cant kill shit with this build, rofl.....only thing i can kill is idiots.

whats needed is to NEF the widowmaker, use SOMETHING with open wounds on switch, use a sin/fcr circlet...ravenfrost and fcr ring, ENIGMA, storm hide, and some nice duped boots of your choice....and many other changes too


works so much better....

I've been in games dueling, people have loved my Bow sin. I have been recomended to write a guide on it so, now I am doing so.

Basically poison Kills, the more + skill the better.


Basic Gear.

Weapon:

Widowmaker.
Best
to get high ed For More physical damage. The bow it'self doesnt do a
whole lot of damage thus more + guided won't do much here.
Socketed With -5%/+x Facet.


Helm:

2 Choices

Shako.
5/5 Faceted.    This because of the +2 Skills, Life, Mana, Stats, 10% Dr.

2 Socketed coa.
Dual 5/5 Faceted. Reasons being, More - resists, Damage Reduction, Skill, resists, **faster hit recovery**


Rings:

2 Choices.

Soj/Bk
Depeding on your life/mana Preference.


Belt:

Verdungos.  Damage Reduction, Vitality.


Armor:

Bramble. +% Poison Damage +5% Max Cold res 100% Psn Res 30% Fire Res.


Gloves:

Trangs Gloves. 25% Poison Damage 20% (I believe so)  Cold Resist.


Boots:

Shadow Dancers. +2 Shadow Disciplines (more poison Damage) + 20-25 Dexterity (Damage) Faster hit Recovery

9-10 Shadow Gcs  (you may want 1 slot for extra Arrows)
Annihilus (high res is a must it is hard to get res on this build.)
9x Resist (single or all)/ Life Or FHr Scs (I'll post breakpoints later on)


Precast Claws
+3 Shadow Claws 2 os with dual +5 Facets
If you can find em +3 Shadow with +3 Venom/ 3 lightning sentry 1 or 2 socketed with +5 facets.


If you really want.... switch off those claws with cta/lidless.




Stats:
Be able to reach 167 Strength with Entire equip on (Shadow Dancers)
Be able to reach 149 Dexterity with Entire equip on (Widow Maker)
Everything from their on out into Vitality.



Skills.
Skills to Max
Venom...    Main Damage Skill.
Mind
Blast... Usually will get the kill. Firing arrows repeatedly and mind
blasting them when their life drains to 1 from poinson, Mind blast gets
the kill.
Shadow Master... Ever wanted to pk someone standing right
on the edge of town? Shadow Master has the ability to attack in town.
(when someone you are hostiled with is close to the edge) It also has
the ability to tank, do extra damage and be an over all decoy.

10
skill poits into Burst of Speed... Face the facts, this build won't
allow you to teleport. You Get IAS from burst Increased Run Walk From
burst, What else to ask for?


With 70 skill points being all you need to run this build properly, you have some choices.

Integrate
Traps. Who isn't scared of traps? They will run at you, see 5 traps
sitting in place for them, And run away. giving you more advantage on
them to get more arrows and mind blasts on them.

Get blade shield, useless but looks cool.

Completely wast the rest of your skill points which you will have max'd all of your pvp skill by level 70.

Good luck with this build, and let me know if you like it.



I've
not had any problems with any character class except for elemental
druids. Poison is NOT absorbable, but they still carry massive resists.




no knockback? =/

No, it's not. You will be using BoS for speed and ias which you will need.


This build is a good build, I have a bowassin that looks a lot like this. First off, Um is a lot better to socket the weapon with, open wounds are win. You will NOT need Enigma for tele, so please stop suggesting that everybody, BoS allows you to move quite fast and all that.

To the author: I don't understand your belt. Why not use Nosferatus Coil? I haven't heard one complaint about me being lame with slow (if that is considered lame, I dunno), and the 10 ias helps me reach a breakpoint with lvl 18 BoS IIRC.

My skills are a bit different from yours though. I put 5-10 in BoS, maxed venom, and then maxed LS and all the synenergies. The damage adds up, and it helps me kill my enemies quick, and the stun is just awesome. I might have underrestimated maxing my shadow master, I've done it long time before, and she really owned. I think I'll try with fire traps and a nice shadow master.
