This is PvM and I really don't have much experience building PvP bowazons, so you can try it yourself.

having no or little mf doenst make a build "pointless"
people like you put too much stock into +mf%
the most important factor in mfing is Killing speed , not how high your mf is.
mf has diminishing returns as it is, the best setup woulde be one where you build for kill speed, then substitute uneccisary items for small amounts of mf.

nice guide btw.

Kinda vouch !

P.S.: At Least it's Good to Load Up the Merc with MF Stuff !

Here is a normal WF/Faith build:

You: Wf, Forti, LoH, Razortail, Atma, Gores/Wts, Raven, LL-ring, Andys, Anni, Torch, maxdam charms, switch: Demon Limb
Merc: Faith Great Bow, Forti, Andy

You: Wf 160/60 100lifer, Razortail, Cats Eye, Travs, ll high str/dex ar/res ring x2, 40/15 Shako, Torch, life/res, mf/res charms, switch: lawbringer/shaeld ss
Merc: Faith, 160/60 100lifer, Eth rare godly with str/dex/res/life/+2zon 2 sockets

Cannot be frozen is not a big deal when using a ranged char. You shouldn't be getting frozen at all if you're a straight up bowa.
Great guide, helped me with my zon but i went a different route, cuz i LOVE strafe.
I love the lawbringer switch but i keep having trouble with it;
like ill hit w but it wont register so i have to double tap w once in a while b4 the strafe arrows connect and cast..wierd

1. Why on earth would you use a 40/14 Shako on a Bowa that uses physical skills???

2. And a 160/60 isnt a normal armor at all. Alot more expensive than 'normal' and still gives less damage than Fortitude.

3. Where did you find mf/res charms?

4. Why waste a 160/60 on your merc?

5. And give me one good reason why I should put a godly helm with +2zon skills on my merc?

6. It seems like you havent played alot with bowas at all.

Because I ... mf?
Also strafe is physical damage so 40/15s apply to it?
I am switching to fortitude if ive reached bp without the 160/60
I find mf/res charms on jsp and pay fg for them...
If you can afford anything, its not a waste. Mercs have bps too.
Because a rogue merc benefits from +zon skills. I think. I don't remember.
It's been 5 yrs since I've made a zon.

i have a better build,but why would i tell anyone,everyone would be like me then lol,5.3k multi zon with 800(i added some to vita) hp(no posin)

the wf/ a-1 may be more damge,but its being like everyone else,plus so many ppl like to pk chaos runs,using a gm faith is alot better,plus it has ignor,return,and undead damge,brand aint that great.

cat's eye over highlords simply because the extra frw always comes in handy on a glass cannon build. I swear by it on bowzons. Plus the extra dexterity boosts the damage a little more.
