I did GMB+Pride boomer runner here in P8. It clears fine, yes. But it feels much clunkier than telebowa spec with Shadow. Trust me I have had 100% GMB/Shadow/Mat Faith in my stash for a long time.


I'm glad you're using Strafe in that clip xd

Killing speed seems ok-ish, but its faster with Wrath IMO. Decrepified enemies die so much faster.
Maybe you could test that out? ^^

Runner just isn't as efficient as telebowa for PvM.


Yeah, for a CS run tele is clear winner, tele saves too much time for a runner to compete.

Nah. I can't play boomer runner without either Harmony on or naj staff on switch. Running faster or temp teleport is more valuable than having Wrath bow on switch.

And if I'm gonna have another bow to shoot on switch, I will probably use upped witchwild.

And that's why telebowa with eth reapers is the best of both worlds. You get to tele quick anywhere and reposition your decriptify stick merc anywhere.

Harmony = +35 FRW

Circlet + cats + wartravs = +85 FRW, pretty easy to reach 115-130 with +max/frw charms

And if I'm gonna use slow bow like GMB, I would use WF+Faith over GMB to be honest. High damage and still get to use razortail and atma.

115-130 feels slow to me. That's the problem.

The 2.4 Bowa Buff is real.

No need to go hybrid for 2.4 as a bowa to run things the quickest. Pure bowa spec is totally viable even for the boss.

Strictly for PvM:

Telebowa>>>>>Runner 100% as usual.
Shadow/Diamond/Mat>>>>>>GMB 100% as usual.

It's 2022. Let's not run around with expensive FRW charms and Fort or fancy 60/160 Armors.

No other spec is faster than Telebowa.

Stats: Str for Gear. Vitality for +700. Full Dex after.
Skills: Max GA, Multi, Crit, Penetrate. 1 on each Passive.
Gears: Shadow/Diamond/Mat, Enigma, 20FCR/3OS (3x1515 or 3x1540), 2/18FCR Ammy for P1 ATMA for P8, WT, Razor, LoH, FCR Dual Leech Ring, Raven.
Charms: Maiming (I sold my set so using usual Telebowa Max/AR/Life set), 4 5FHR/3Max SC.
Merc: Pride for P1, Eth Reapers for P8, Eth Fort or CoH, Eth Andy

Then the leftover points are free to use.

Shadow/Diamond are the best since you can run Atma+Razor. Mat Faith is a very close behind those two. This is strictly for PvM.

GMB can't use Atma+Razor as a telebowa. GMB Faith is great for flipping for FG, that's it.

I like eth SA CoH for +2 might aura, and eth reaper can still get max ias bp with 35 ias on andy and +15 ias on reaper (+ some ED)

Andy + CoH = +4 might aura = +40% ED for bowa

55% CB is pretty interesting too for bosses
