Im not a pro, so im sure there are plenty of people more capable of making a guide for you.

But, i would personally make a little hybrid in that build, with focus as you say on bow.

Switch 1: Some sort of javelins with as much throw dmg as possible and 1 point in light fury and bolt + a shield with as much block as possible. Maybe Mosers shield 2x eld or something, if you wanna go cheap.

Switch 2: Bow with as much ias+dmg as possible, and then you use a combination of guided arrow and multi arrow. Guided for highest single target dmg as possible, and multi if you are vs a very mobile opponent (sorc) or vs an opponent with many summons.

Armor: Duress (shael + um + thul) for fhr + cb + ow

Gloves: 20 ias knockback gloves. If you are up for some crafting yourself, theese are not as rare as you might think. Though a pair with good extra mods can be hard to obtain. Else gleclaws gloves. The knockback is very important for you.

String of ears belt if you fight physical opponent, crafted blood belt if other type.

Gore rider boots if vs physical opponent or tanky opponent, res/frw boots if elemental opponent.

1 ravenfrost ring + blood amulet with frw and best other stats possible (life, dex, str, res) + rare or crafted ring with stats/life/res/dmg/ar best as possible

Helm: Vampire gaze with 15 ias jewel for physical opponent and if you are lucky/rich a 3 socket tiara with 30 frw, socket some ias+resist jewels in it for elemental opponents. Else just a helm with resist and attack speed or at least resist + life.

Stats: As much dex as needed for at least 70% block (best is 75% and i would go for this. Dex also increases your bow dmg, so its not completely waste, tho it would make you more of a glass cannon.)
Str: only to wear gear
Vita: all other points

Skills: Max guided arrow, a few in multishot (you must spray at least 10 arrows in my opinion), 1 point in lighfury for javelin swap, 1 point in decoy and valkyrie for meatshield, rest in dodge/avoid/evade.



If you really want a sick hybrid build, max out psn javelin + plague javelin and 1 point in light fury - then have guided arrow on switch with just 1 point in that + multi arrow.
Then you would need gear with as much +skillpoints as possible tho.

Good luck mate, i hope you dont die

there are MLD guides here: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=84940990

if your going to lvl 51 then the only real difference for a bowa is the ability to wears cats eye. in which case your best bet is to use gaze always in conjuction with a shadow bow (either rare or insight).

Harmony would do more damage than Insight and give better aura.
