I am interested to hear the responses. I would love to play bowzon but unfortunately it seems to require too much gear investment towards damage that you basically have a glass cannon with 0 mf. :S would love to be proven wrong. I think there is a pvm bowzon post in the guides forum. on another note, bowzon seems to have a gap in weapon power between faith/WF, and everything else. theres nothing you can kind of make work. again, interested to hear otherwise.

If you’re thinking pure PvM, try a pure frost maiden with cold sunder.

Need ‘Ice’ for the cold res and probably want an infinity merc, but now that you don’t need townrory about being a phys damage hybrid to kill immunes frozen arrow can really shine.

‘Ice’ mat bow
Enigma
Razortail(need 100% pierce)
+3bow/20ias gloves
Nightwings
Highlords/maras/rare/crafted Amy
Mana leach rate ring + raven
Resist boota

I didn't test it yet the Ice Zon with Sunder Charm but before 2.5 the Telezon should be your choice. Forget about classic runner - she's ok when someone gives you tp to wsk. Lack of mobility will be a huge issue especially on endgame tzones.
You should choose glass cannon multi whore telezon. Personally I prefer hybrid with 20cs+20synergie - it helps you to kill bosses and immunes waaay faster.

Basically your goals should be 7fpa and at least 68fcr on off hand.
If you play solo or low party than imho you don't need at all Atma's and/or 100% Pierce.
It's case of preferences but I like 48fcr on bow side or even 68 if you can afford it (then you have to sacrifice both - pierce and atmas).

There are two main ways:
- faith + pride/reapers merc
- windforce/mist + faith merc.

You should pick Shadow/Diamond/Mat over GMB.
Reaper's on p8 over Pride.

Common part for all builds:
Enigma
LoH
WT
Raven
Dual leech fcr ring
Max/ar +life/dex charms

I was running with:
WF (shael'd)
2/20fcr/30frw/str/@res diadem + 1x ed/ias jool
HL
Arach
Thunderstroke+Spirit
Act1 merc with Faith.

With 2/20fcr/2os diadem you can swap HL to Atma's or Arach to Razor
With 20fcr/20os you can gear both Atma's and Razor

Same story with Faith+Pride/Reaper merc - you need 45 gear ias for Mat Faith or 65 for Shadow/Diamond.

Find KimSulki's guidi in Strategies, should be sticked.
