So ive been looking up trying to find info on it. However seems some pretty conflicting views. The view point on frw i can get. Best explanation for why choosing the enigma over forti with teleport, allows the bowazon to be viable in specific match ups. However doesnt mention what match ups and why would be better than high frw. Was wondering if any experienced or seasoned bowazon pvpers could help answer the question for me. Personally i prefer zipping around the map like speedy gonzalez over teleporting. However definitely wanna choose the more viable pvp build. Thanks for taking time to answer.

Walk bowa has some issues when people bm with prison etc.

I prefer tele, but then i go 3 hybrid.

I find this guide shows the best of both walkzon and telezon.

Basically u wanna go tele vs certain setups, and this guide shows what ones etc

Go walkzon. Only bad mu are smiters and you also gonna lose with tele to them.

Sad but true, and majority of pvp population plays smiter, so you really got to choose ur opponents with a zon.

Thats why you use 3zon with tele, trigger plague and kb them away with bolt and ga mix

Yea PJ is pretty effective, and wins alot of games...,some ppl considered full synergize pj to be bm though...also currently some are using impale, but certain ppl frown upon it due to the slow.

Overall if be it walk/tele, smiter is still a pretty bad MU for zon but can be somewhat mitigated as mentioned or if you jus dont care and use those skills and play pub. Still a really fun class and shits on other classes if you look on the bright side !!!

Personally prefer walkzon for its versatility against multiple classes as. Unless u play with under 30ping then telebow can be really fun for kiting (so far i only know like 2 telebow in asia server that can really be called master of the spec)

Thank you everyone for the replies!! Got caught up with work and eventually forgot about thread. Appreciate each of you.

yes, on hybrid i maxed it. On 3hybrid its never maxed. But both builds ended with around 40k plague damage(Lod numbers, the skill has changed in terms of duration/damage since then)

2/20/30/@/adds/2soc diadem with 2 x ias/add jools(damage or @, depends what you need)
Enigma
2java/20ias/kb/adds gloves
2/18+fcr/@/adds ammu
Faith MB + arrow
2java/2ama/30-40ias/ed/adds javs (do not need to be eth, but is ofc a good help if they are) + stormshield '15ias/15@'.
arach
10fcr/adds ring
raven
war travs

Swap for shield is: Spirit, and then you swap ammu for highlord.
This allows you to swap fcr ring for wisp as well for oak.
So a nicer setup vs forexample nec.
Griffon may also be used in some scenarios.

Inventory:
torch
annie
8 java sks life (can consider 2 fhr)
cube (cta + demon limb + soj + soj + mara)
9 x scs (most likely life/5@, but there is sometimes a spot for 3max/ar/life as well)

Then mix of CS/BOLT/Plague/Psn jav/ with lvl 1 base bow skills.

Here is a d2lod version of it:
