I had the exact idea!!!! Was looking to pick up LW to try it pair up with Lawbringer.

Then my buddy told me what I had forgotten about LW. It has high level lifetap. Haha lifetap and decriptify will constantly overwrite.

Such a shame. That was going to be the most GG merc set up for physical bowa.


I have the lw/lawbringer at my frenzy merc atm, ill try it out, it overwrites yes but the lw high cb can be nice against diablo/baal
Maybe pride will be better, but a frenzy merc on steroids is to cool to skip B)

Yeah try it on your zon and lmk! It was the best idea I had for act 5 merc but gave up on the idea.

Have you tried Eth reapers on Might merc? It's an absolute game changer for physical bowa. Full party game diablo kill time is like 20 seconds with reapers and 30 seconds for pride merc

Didnt make a bowa yet this patch, only problem with reapers merc, mostly everything is already death when you spam multi, thats why a frenzy merc can be handy because its fast... but tele from eni keep reaper merc easily close ofc, i try frenzy merc first, i have the eq already
And if it sucks, i try other 🙂

Yeah for P1 runs you don't even need any merc but full party games even with the 2.4 buff. It still takes good 5 to 6 shots to down the mobs. Reapers with telebowa make it work very well.

Will wait for your LW and Lawbringer frenzy merc result!!!! Hope it works well. I would love that combo

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.

Yeah did that too. Feels slightly more stronger but hated the boss fights. Took about 10 seconds longer for the boss.

Honestly can't wrong with either set up. Both are very efficient now with the buff.

Heidelberg confirmed that act 5 merc with LW and Lawbringer suck. GG.

I'm still going with Eth Reaper Might Merc.

Think even with Shadow Bow, highlord might work better than Atma. Will respec and find P8 Baal run again tonight.
