You need 18 (48 -30 from Hustle) IAS to hit the fastest attack speed: 4+(2)+6

45 or 40 (Treachery or Hustle) + 20 (Highlords) + 15 (Jewel in Helm) = 80 or 75, so I'd go with GMB if I used Hustle bow.

I'm curious if lvl 1 Fanat from Hustle can be buffed by, say, +1 from Highlord's? If so, Mara's would be awesome

You missed the point. Diamond hustle grants you 7fpa bow side while completely leaving free the choice of armor. You could prebuff with treachery then wear smoke + kiras, or guardian angel + kiras.

You might have missed the whole specs about Strafe:


is a very crucial part.

You need 32 Strafe to hit 10. 20 pts to Strafe, Anni, Torch = 24. You need another +8 skills. So you will miss +3 from GMB/MB bad if you use Diamond Bow, which I'd never use for challenging Ubers

So here are some options. Which one do you recommend?

Harmony
up to 275ED/elemental dmg/Vigor/+2 or +3 Valkyrie/Revive (Charges)

Insight
up to 260ED, Meditation, up to 250 AR, Critical

CTA
up to 290ED, 40IAS, 7LL, BO

Hustle
up to 250ED with Fanat, 30IAS, BoI

I'm not deep into ias calculations, but have you considered brand runeword yet?
It adds a good chunk of dps and it provides a 35% chance to get amp when struck

You could get fana + might from merc

but this is not necessarily on a budget anymore

thx for the suggestions. Yeah, Brand is awesome, up to 670%ED vs Ubers, 20%DS and even Knock Back! If I don't care about budget, I'd go with either Brand or Wrath.

But plz check this, and you'll find what budget means, especially Druid ones

Faith or windforce. All of those suck

If you can’t afford either don’t make a bowa

Ty, but what you are saying is something like this:


I respect how you enjoy this game, or drive cars

(All Bowazons suck if you want to kill monsters faster.)

After checking 4Os +3 GMB, I wonder if Mist is more budget friendly

Any piece of shit car will still transport you

Trying to run an end game bowa using harmony will not clear mobs before you die and definitely won’t kill Ubers
