Anyone have experience I'm looking at playing one to farm Chaos.
Here's the build that I'm looking at https://maxroll.gg/d2/guides/freezing-arrow-amazon-guide

Are there other bowazon builds that I should be looking at? The end goal is to farm p8 chaos.

Find KimSulki84's bowazon guide. He posted there two or three videos with Frozen bowazon. Or just find his yt channel.

Make a java. Bowa is for pvp or players 1.

You won't farm chaos on /p8 with a bowa unless you want 20min game CS

I guess you have never played gg bowa, huh?
Nobody said it's meta but vs chaos is above average.
She is not comparable to metas but can clear p8 chaos in <3-4min, not 20.



Hell yeah! Then Blizz should delete everything what is not a Hammer, Java, Blizz and Lite of course you have right, java is a way faster but it's not the only point of this game

the build you quoted is weird. knockback gloves are counter-productive in pvm, especially for this build. 1 point valkyrie just distracts monsters, so they don't group up as well as if you just give them one focus point (your merc). investing into cold length synergy is a bad idea: you want to kill monsters, not slow them. also I dont get the point of HL amulet. cats eye gives dex and frw (mobility), whereas DS from HL only increases your physical dmg which is small compared to skill dmg.

personal preference: max magic or guided arrows instead of the fire stuff. the only natural cold immunes in CS are the caster knights, but those usually split up instead of grouping. so firing few magic/guided arrows and let your merc get 1-2 hits might be faster than firing a big aoe spell with long cooldown at each individually

So what I’m hearing is bowazon is actually slow now unless I spend hella money 🤔

Correct, you need rly expensive gear.

Agreed that build is weird and pretty poor. I’ve not played D2R, but a full on magezon has never really worked that well in the past.

Knock back however is still useful. Frozen critters do not get knocked back. Also decoy is much much better than your merc at bringing groups together. Always where you want it for a start.
