I recently made a bowa to mess around with in PVM as a rune hunter. I'm just wondering about the build

My gear is a
120/45 30 frw diadem
Highlords
wind force with a 40/15
160/60 96 life wife fleece
Razor tail
Laying of hands
War Travis
Raven frost
Dual leech ring
Torch
Anni
16x 3/3/20s
My res are shit but it's fine In chaos

Merc
Pride
Fort
Andy's

I have about 17k attack rating
And multishot does 8.4k
Guided arrow is close to 13k

Should I be getting my dodge evade and avoid over 50%? Should I use 20/5s and 20/11s to up my Res?

When the ladder resets I'll get a hustle and be able to reach the 7fpa BP

Any help is appreciated

Trying to optimize her as much as possible

Hard to say tbh, lots of bow options now a days, I mean there's faith, brand, the fire and ice runewords bows I hear every build does pretty well never done the fire/ice builds tbh but also I like running faith w a2 merc w perf pride (20conc) w might and with faith or wf you should hit 10-15k w faith or wf and putting atmas on w that works great for me w the chance to cast amp. Also a1 merc with pride is not bad too that's what i use now the merc w ice arrows great in pvm with faith aura helping them to freeze targets.

Also cure works awesome for when you rune into poison enemies.

I have a 15ed sup gmb faith. It's significantly lower damage and because my attack rating is so high with WF I hit 95% of the time. I'm using an act 2 might Merc with pride (20conc) I'm just wondering about my last 7 skill points I was going to get dodge evade and avoid all to 50% and put the rest into maxing penetration for the bonus attack rating.

I have plenty of attack rating. I'm trying to figure out where to put my last 6 skills and what I want to fill out my inventory with.

I can put 2 more skills into avoid and get 50% avoid 50% dodge and 50% evade plus 4 more into penetration. Or I could put 4 more into magic arrow for some damage against physical immunes.

For my inventory my resistances are low 2 are negatives and lightning is +3. Or I could continue with 3/3/20s for the most damage.

If this is pvm. I go max damage unless I keep dying. Bowazon is about movement and staying away. So I would get my dodges and shit the rest of points. But rest of inventory continue with 3 3 20s.

From a pvp perspective there's certain things I aim for on bowa and this is lod knowledge and how much it transitions into d2r I'm not sure

140frw - this was due to desynch, but without enigma, I cannot go back to running slowly.

69% to avoid
56% to dodge
59% evade
