Drop the bow skiller. Get max/AR/Life, FRW, or FHR SC's/GC's. Dual leech ring doesn't help you in PvP, get a dex/resi/life/whatever ring.
BMB=GMB?
You need more IAS then. Get some rare 20 IAS/KB gloves with extra mods. Switch out Verdungo with Nosferatu's Coil(Some consider it BM because of the 10% slow). Alternatively, you can wear Sigon's gloves+Boots(30 IAS set bonus)+Whatever belt you want.

Some will probaly disagree with me here, but i think a bowzon should aim for:
Speed > Dmg > Life/Def/DR.
I normaly use base vita(Depending on charms, 1-1,5k life), enough str for equiment, rest into dexterity. Each point into dex adds another 1% Edmg.

Desynchers are a pain in the arse. The only way to combat them, is to learn how to read desynching. Keep on practising.
Bowamazons can't beat everyone with ease, but they're damn fun to play with.

awesome thanks. Next question...infinity for merc or doom? Got a lot of psn damage so figured the res reduction would come in handy. Gore are ok for boots then? thanks

Mercs don't last long in PvP. Conviction doesn't lower enemy poison resists.

Infinity wouldn't do you any good. ~2000 poison dmg isn't alot, it's.. 250 dmg on average(50% psn resi, -100% psn length reduction).
Doom is often considered BM.
In the end, merc's die horribly fast in PvP. They're not worth it, specially not with all the gold stealing going on. You'd have to PvM quite often in every game, just to have him by your side.. And he wouldn't do much for you.

Gores are nice boots. Another option is Wartraveler.The 15-25 dmg on them is added to every arrow - That's quite alot of dmg, after you apply any ED% you might have!
But Gores alone is quite weak. The low % OW is hardly worth it at all, considering how many of your arrows actually hit the target. OW might proc once every 40th arrow if you use gores alone. Crushing blow isn't worth it in PvP, but the DS adds up.
I'd choose WT over Gores, but it's really a personal preference.

next question get rid of the pdscs and pick up something else? what does ar do for me? Also ive seen zons that look like they are throwing arrows...what weapon is that? or am i retarded? thanks again.

Fine Small Charms [of vita if you're rich] and Sharp Grand Charms are the most optimal ones. Aside from the damage end, Zons benefit a great deal from frw charms.

As for the throwing arrows, that occurs when you do the whole strength glitch thing. Where your gear/charms give you the str necessary to equip the weapon. It appears perfectly fine on _their_ screen (they are equipped on their screen), but to everyone else, they look naked.

Keep the 4 psn sc's. They work very well against ES sorcs.
