Making A Bowazon (I Need Help)

[FCSerenity]

Okay, so I'm making a Bowazon, but I don't know WHAT I'm doing.

This is my first Zon I've ever made. What skills should I max, and where should my stat points go into? I know I should max GA, but I dunno what else to max.

Also, what equipment would be awsome for a Bowazon? Please, I need serious help!!!

Max: Guided Arrow, Critical strike.

Other: Level 15 multi with + skills should work well. The rest can be split on the dodges.

Stats: Enough str for gear, enough vit to have around 1k-1.2k life without BO (or whatever you feel comfortable with), the rest in dex.

Basic Faith GMB build:

ed/ias helm (aka 120/45)

fortitude (light armor)

cats eye

faith GMB with at least 14(?) fana

nos coil

20 ias +2 passives KB gloves (any other mods are a bonus)

dual stat ring + raven (or just use 2 ravens if you don't want to invest in a dualstat)

war travs

Charms should be split between max/ar/frw and max/ar/life. How many of each depends on how much frw/life you want on your zon (+ anni/hellfire of course).

I agree with the above poster on several things, but I do not agree that 9 frames per shot is good enough, go after the 147 ias bp with GMB. I use that myself and I'm very satisified shooting 3 times/ per second.

I use Gore Riders instead of WT, because it gives 30% frw and 15% deadly strike, ow and cb (though ds and cs doesn't stack the chances are greatly increased of getting double dmg). I use cleglaws instead of crafted, because I like the slows targets by total of = 35% thanks to clegs and nos.

Ummm, isn't it 7 fps with the 95 ias he has on the suggested gear?

Using gores over war travs is preference I guess. However, travs will give you 200~300 damage + 20 extra stats.

Actually he will be firing in 9 fpa. Since GMB has a base speed of 10, he needs 89 ias to have a 9 frame attackspeed. 147 IAS to have 8 fpa.

SlainByPain suggested that he had 128 ias (with fana), which isn't fast enough to shoot 8 fpa. So he needs 14 ias more to attack 3 times in a sec...

i think your forgetting the ias from level 14 fanatasizm.

[GkT]

Yup, you're forgetting the Fanaticism.

Anyways, make sure to wear a Dusk or something light or else it'll be taking away from your FRW.
