looking to make my first lld char, the lvl 30 bowa.

i have most of the gears, but i need to decide on what jewels are going into the perfect ashwood bow. im using sanders boot, so im not overly concerned with putting a -req jewel in the bow.

would it be a waste or a good decision to put 3x 20ed/15max jewels into the bow? or is it mandatory to put 2x 20ed/15 max jewels and a rare jewel with ed-min/max-dex--req?

thanks

If you cant find a decent pair of rare boots, ditch sanders and go for natalyas set boots and make sure to str bug them.

You don't need -req in a bow unless you are going for sharkskin or light plated boots.

stamina and res on nats are worth more than the dmg from the extra dex and str & lower str req on sanders?

I want the best possible build, with no regrets lol. I do have 2x perfect ashwood bases, so i could try two diff ones out, but i want them to be nice so i can sell one with no issue

if you are using sanders and dont care about str bug, then there is nothing wrong with x3 20/15's and x2 shael. but there are better jewels, or at least there were, once upon a time, for raw damage.

so 75/45 robo is a good bow and viable with sanders?

i can always get my hands on a rare boot w/ dex but i feel like the extra 10frw is more valuable than some res.

I always like upped cthons on zons str bugging but mostly because I like running glass cannons and Stam just isn't there for longer duels.

It's up to you what you want to do. I have tried the ways mentioned before and each have advantages but it depends on what you want. If you don't have access to 5% frw smalls it's like losing 45 life to get the same frw (10% frw) or 30 life if you have 5% frw smalls. Res you lose a little damage. If you bug, you get to desync which is for many builds is difficult to duel against.

fixed.
a rogues bow is viable at 30. a robo is better, and rare rares can be best. so yes a 75/40 robo is good and viable with sanders. Atomic i have cthon (upped) in stash, for vs barbs. i agree with everything atomic said actually.

I think I've just now realized that this"str bug" that everyone is mentioning is not just about fine-tuning stats... But weapon switching to equip/unequip boots rapidly... :wallbash: forgive me I'm back after 7 years lol.
That being realized.. would you say desyncing from str bug is devastating enough to spend the extra fg for a nice Jewel with Ed//min-or-max//Dex//req?

Yes, it's very good. I always use a 2 str small charm to glitch boots on.
