Thank you for the suggestion.

Found a P7 Baal run so crashed the CS solo. Did the P7 one with Faith+Reaper Might merc last night. So this is pretty comparable.

WF+Faith does feel stronger with the added buff from 2.4. Will do some more runs this weekend with both spec. The boss fight is MUCH easier with eth Reapers merc though.

The gearing and skills and stats are all the same for both bow and merc spec. So it's really easy to just switch around the bows and give it a go.

Go pick up a WF for super cheap. I got mine for Bow 60+ Jewel 140. haha can't beat the value there.

Happy that bowzons can finally clear things pretty efficiently in high player count games as a pure bowa.

Agree with u, in boss fight in p8 decrepify helps a lot. So i think that for pure bow i prefer a2 merc with eth reap, for hybrid maybe wf and faith merc (switch for cs @ boss only)

Yeah I will personally stick with Shadow Faith+Eth Reapers for PvM even though I'm done with NL PvM.

This spec is finalized. No need to change anything from here.

Moving onto Plague+Bow hybrid ;)

Have you tried Windforce + Eth Reapers? Not sure on BPs but maybe a cats eye to hit a BP if needed. Curious because if its comparable then its a cheaper build.

Won't hit the 7 frame. But it will still work fine. Not the top end spec but if you find those in ladder use it. It will work.

Anyone else tried other bowa with merc spec?

Maybe Faith with LW and Lawbringer or LW and Grief for boss help?
