I'm trying to build a heavy damage walkazon (Bowazon)

I've been having trouble finding a good guide for the build

I want to know... how much FRW do I want? What's the best way to hit the target FRW?

Is it better to go with 14max damage charms, or 10+ with life?

Generally 150 on bow side / 180 on jav side (titans gives 30 frw), give or take

Use enoguh 3frw/3max/10-20 AR SCs to get that. Rest of SCs will be 3max/20 life/10-20 AR and/or 20 life/5 res or 20life/11 single res depending on matchup and rest of year.

You genenrally get frw from cats eye + boots + 30frw circlet from gear

I don't play D2:r, but the info may come in handy. Also don't know if you want it for PvM or PvP?

There wasn't any FRW bps for LoD, but from memory the Glass canon build would use FRW sc's and use Faith, I never built a PvP bowazon.

You will need Archon Plate armor, high defense and classed as light armor, so does not encumber your run speed. Fortitude was ideal back in the day, maybe you have better armor runewords with 300% or so enhanced damage.

War travs because of the added damage, the run speed is lower.

There is a Vigor runeword bow you could have on switch or have it on a Rogue... forgot the name of it.

You are pretty much going to be full dex build, so having 2x Ravenfrost is cheap... or 1 Ravens for CBF and crafted ring.

Belt Razortail for the pierce.

Crafted/Rare gloves 2 bow / 20 ias other mods, or just go with Laying of Hands 20 ias, 350% dmg to demons and nice fire res

Cats Eye amulet I believe has 20 ias and FRW ... or Highlords / crafted(rare) 2 bow 20 ias other mods (think you can get these)

Faith or Windforce

Inventory, I will leave that to others, I have a different bow build.

I missed out helm on purpose.


Good luck, I am sure someone will set you straight.

It would strictly be for PVP

Jesper’s guide is fine, use 3 frw sc’s ( guide says 5 frw ) to reach ~150 frw and rest are max / ar / life and life / ress sc’s.

Nothing's changed since LoD except skills allocation.
14max for pvm, 10max for pvp but people prefer rather standard 3max sc's.
