great skill for dealing with PI's for a pure bowazon. Should be maxed to convert 20+ % of physical damage to magic damage. Works well with a high damage bow like windforce. Pretty useless for PvP and not very good at low levels.

Hate to tell you this but maxing multi in PvP is not the best idea. You want about 15 arrows or so. If you wear any plus skills gear, you will end up with like level 24 multi which will consume way too much mana. You can't leech very much at all in PvP so probably around 12 volleys of multi and you will be out of mana.

max guided and skip the fire and cold damage. Will be difficult to hit anyone with a single arrow that is not guided anyway. Check on page 2 for a thread that I started in which a bunch of people gave some very good advice for a PvP zon.

Best advice I can give now is that a PvP bowzon build substantially different from a PvM build. Where high dex / low life is the norm in softcore PvM, lower dex / high life is used PvP. Leech is very important in PvM, Leech does not really work in PvP. D/A/E are used but not at very high levels in PvM, they are pumped for PvP. Pierce is vital in PvM, useless for PvP. There is more but you get the idea.

Thx, yeah all these things that you've mentioned that make any character useful have run thru my head. If been pretty unclear about how to finish character right, and I've been goin completely on PvM advice so far, thanks again fer stearing me in the right direction. What are some good places to spend those extra skill points after guided is maxed?
