I have a few questions, I wasn't going to sort through all the pages though.

If I go with Shadow Bow for faith on the zon, what level fanat is required?
Is Enigma a must on this build?
Besides chaos and cows, is it a decent farmer in places like Halls, WSK, Pit, etc? Looking to do p7 or p8 clearing.

I havent made a Bowazon since 1.09, so I am a little rusty haha.

Also, last question;
I am planning on making this zon on HC for fun and single player so I dont have all of the best items quite yet. I gambled a 30frw/3soc helm, so it kind of inspired me. For survivability here, do you get sustain from one ring or is it possible to swap atmas for highlords and use dracs? While still clearing high player count games.

+14
Yes enigma plus 20fcr 3os helm 1 fcr dual leech ring are must

Yes you can farm anywhere. Keep some 11single res charms in stash for swap if needed.

Bowzons only need one source of leech. No need for more. You sustain by keep shooting.

No you really need atma ammy for high efficiency in clearing in p8

Question for you, I see Atma is used alot in builds that don't need the 20ias from ammy.

I found that using Metalgrid gives me way more AR than using Atma.

12k AR on strafe. 14k ish with Atma, 16k ish with Metalgrid.

Not sure why Metalgrid isnt more used, especially with the 35 all res that it can provide.

Just saw this. No tele chargers?

Telebowa is easy against them. Just tele around and GA them.

If they are telesmiters, much much better chance as a walkzon with 200frw. Run back while throwing fury.

Telesmiter is like anti zon. Charger shouldn't be too hard

Any idea why i'm getting these results?


Atma is for amp curse

This. Faith zon shouldn't worry about AR at all. Amp curse is the king for physical damage dealers that's why it makes such a big difference for zons.
