I haven't played in probably 18 months or so and I just want to make a fun Bowazon. The last build I made used a Windforce wirh Hustle armor and a Concentration A2 Merc.

I'm not looking for an absolute max-damage build or magic finding. This is more of an "take an edible and mindlessly click" build. I just want it to be fun.

What do you guys recommend?

Edit - this is PvM exclusively

Both frost and fire are good for cows.

I personally like mist for the 100% pierce, frees up belt and even if it’s not “better” it felt pretty smooth. Magic arrow makes the bowa really smooth so you don’t need to run sunder and you get plenty of extra points to hybridize

Currently running 60%cs 80% ds multiarrow with 100% pierce it feels pretty smooth even when uber diablo spawns. I’d probably switch highlords for atmas versus ubers though.

i would check my char but connecting to bnet seems to be impossible atm. fuck blizz :wacko:

will post if i can get online


other than eu servers seem to work

20 ias bow gloves
phenix bow
trachery
stat/res ring
raven
razortail
hilord
res boots
flickering flame

bow sks and frw/res scs and sunder ofc

my merc is act3 with ench gear. i like those mercs even tho they are complete ass and useless
maybe some act2 merc as tank would be a lot better


max fire bow skills and pene, ar, cs, d/a/e according to your lvl/need

immolation has cast delay so i use exploding as primary and fire immo like every 2nd/3rd shot

also had 1pt in magic arrow for some single target high fire res just to save up on arrows :D

its kinda glasscannon build so res is low but flickering fixes fire res loss from sunder and treachery proc gives nice dr and @res
