Purpose: mostly to clear chaos with river. From time to time cows.
Multishot glass canon.

Faith is not option till high runes are expensive so I'll pick Windforce.
With shael'd WF I still need 120 gear ias to reach 8fpa.
Nos, LoH, Cat/HL give me 50.
How to get the rest? Tiara 45ias + 30ias armor? Andy+15ias and 45ias armor?
Or maybe forti and 9fps is the way?

Dude, tell somethig more about your Mist-zon :)

I do math and Mist Mat need 125 gear ias to hit 7fpa vs WF & 120 ias for 8fpa.

Why Giant skull over Andi?

142ias needed for mist mat bowzon

45 treachery
20 gloves
20 ammy
10 nos belt
20 mist

You need 30 from helm to hit 7 frame. You can do 2os helm or Andy with jewel or mavina.

Most cost effective way is gskull because it's very cheap.

Andy is very pricey right now.

Guys, what is budget gear for bowazon?
And why 7fpa is so important?

I hate full glass-cannon, and prefer to live at least after one hit (mostly). Its important for me to react and heal in time.
Now I'm playing with buriza with shael, but CS is too hard with it, because of attack rating.
Going to change for eaglehorn (because of its ignore defense).

So, any advices for newbie build with buriza / eaglehorn?
Thx

7fpa = higher dps.
For chaos, especially if you have tele, glass cannon works much better. More dex = more dmg and ar = faster killing. Ofc sometimes you can get hit but almost never that much to kill you with 800hp. You must be really unlucky or you did something stupid.
And you still have all dodges. Some time ago I was leveling my two pvp zons at p8 baal runs (baal walks as well) + shenk + eldricht. I had around 1.5k hp + shitty res + max block on jav swap with ss. I've reach 95 & 96 and I never died through.

Ofc you won't hit 7fpa without mat/great bow or faith (on you or on your merc).

I agree, that 800hp is enough, but without items it costs you around 100-130 points into VIT.

And what about low cost gear? All guides I found on bowazone includes high-end gear (faith, forti, etc), but I dont think that this is the only way to play it :)

Tbh I have never built low-budget zon. Buriza, especially upped has really nic dmg but you can't reach reasonable fpa.
If you have lack of ar put something in the penetrate.

Building zon is always about fit everything around to reach as high as possible fpa.
My advice is to recpec her to javazon (she can be ridiculous cheap!), get rich and buy some decent gear. At least WF or this new runeword Mist. But keep it in mind that 7fpa Faith > anything else. Or WF with Faith merc :)
About Guilly I'm not the biggest fan - if you shooting all these sexy cb/ds bonuses are cut to half.
Boots - WT all day long. Or at least something with 40frw (Aldurs?)
