Pvm no

For pvp a widowmaker on swap has been used on many bvc since legacy. Good for baiting aggression, discourage camping and for chip dmg

i just use a standard bvb build and go 1 point to double throw and 1 to throw mastery. it's a lot more fun than widow maker for pvm and serves the same function as widow maker for pvp. widow maker is better for pvp though, maybe. bow as main source of damage though??? hmm. well you are worried too much about ias. that should be secondary imo. i think you would want to use a toothrow armor for the open wounds. a coa for helm. then go with nos coil, gores, and 20ias crafted blood gloves. maybe experiment with cat's eye for ammy for run/walk speed.

but as void has written it does discourage camping was dueling aods barb last night with it and if i used arrows to much he would telestomp me atleast once before icould wep swap back and ww him to death
so the ias part really doesnt matter now im going for the 52(i think) ias bp and keep the bow on swap guided arrow even if its to provoke an attack i feel is way better then aimlessly machine gunning axes that dissapear before they leave my screen with no name lock im good

gonna run this setup lol

2barb visio 2x15ias jewels
highlords =enough ias with shael in the bow
rest of build is
trang gloves
2xfcr rings
tgod belt
enigma
gores
grief colossus sword 39ias(with helm and ammy im at 89ias 4wwbp)
and fortitude zweihander(testing this setup) for 25fcr(63fcrbp)
all max ar life gc/scs in inventory max res 18 radius leap stun 40frw is max bo max wep mast max ww res in shout iron

puts me around 225 all res stack depending on if i put res points in nat res or shout
lacks fhr

Usually recomend using an um rune for more ow in widow since that’s what’s going to do most of the chip dmg as well. Also if people are stomping you before you can swap back you need to predict their stomp and swap back in advance. Usually 1-2 arrows then swap back to get ready for retaliation. Especially good vs melee chars and hdins
