Good to know! Thx
Ecspecially since its sooo much cheaper.



The strangest thing is that strafe works very badly vs bosses (for example Wrath should always proc with one volley, but it often doesnt)
but works very well at procing vs all groups of enemies. Idk if its just the matter of multiple enemies + pierce increasing the chances, or some other mechanics involved.
Even GA is more reliable to proc vs boss.



Yeah, thats the biggest disagreement. Because many players automatically assume, that only CS run *time* matters,
but there is also fun factor, liking huge DPS etc, or some different mechanics that make game more entartaining (like Wrath on switch).

There are a ton of discussions like that.
"Why would you ever need GG items on PVM? Its only PVP that matters"
and so on

I just like to chill, listen to some new music albums and do some D2R runs with my bowa,
i also like playing with numbers, doing max DPS, and getting some cool maxrolls. xd
Farming factor aint that important, i earned much more through trade & lucky rolls than i did through farming anyway.



I did try telebowa in last 2 days! :D
It does feel faster (river of flame ecspecially...), though i didn't enjoy it that much. Its not my playstyle i guess
Its also pretty high tension to go glass cannon with tele, like, i didn't die, but i had a feeling all the time that i might die.
And since i dont play a lot, dying on level 95-96 takes away soooo many days of exping. Maybe with CTA i could consider it, to feel safer (though i would loose like 1-2 fcr bp this way).


Wrath bow probably lacks attack rating for strafe.

And yes there's other factors in the game that people enjoy and min max on. That I agree fully :) if you like that that's all it matters.

The telebowa is super tanky and likely never die if you get used to it especially in 2.4. I don't think i ever died in ladder with my main telebowa. You are at 99fcr max res max block with 50% on dodge on switch. You shouldn't die ever.

And if you want you can BO before run and put on wizzy. But bowzon doesn't need to use CTA :)

40ed jewel with something cute. You can even do something like 38ed 14 max. Something like that is super cheap. I used to do that on early packs I sold. Big boost in damage

Oh no it doesnt!

I made it in mat bow +3skill +3ar, used demon limb, i had 92% hit chance vs diablo with strafe!
I did hit him with almost all arrows, it just didnt proc as often as it "statistically" should.

Ive seen you go 1,2k+ HP even without CTA, i have like 1,1k HP with CTA. xd
I like going 0 vita and full dex for that max damage.

Technically max block and max dodge should be safe, but i always feel like i could get unlucky, stresses me out. xd

It is +400 hp on a 100% glass cannon though (+1 all skill to me and merc is welcome too).

That's just diablo rng then.

My main spec is always 800 life with charms and vitality points. Never over. That's the fine line. If you saw me with over 1k, that's probably me with set I'm selling on with diffrent stats.

I get asked all the time for the proper life for this spec. 800 life after charms and stats in. Then full dex.

I got a 60160 chest today for my pvp zon so trying out that chest+atma ammy+razortail+GMB :)

Works well. But need to get myself a naj staff because even at 180frw, it feels slow to me hahaha

Just trying to grind to lvl95 for this pvp zon, that's it for me.

Why have you decided to play classic zon in pvp? It is pure bowa or hybrid?
Haven't play pvp since ladder started, but I have plan to respec mine to forti+gmb/plague.
