Bowazon's advise

[Barcelona]

Hi there:smiley:

Just a couple of questions: laugh:

1. What charms do Bowazons normally fill their inventory with?
2. What's the MAXIMUM IAS a gg bowazon can have?
3. What's the MAXIMUM FRW a gg bowazon can have?
4. Which is generally better, to have lots of pdscs or lots of OW?
5. Can anyone list the GODLIEST LIEST LIEST LIEST LIEST GEAR for a bowazon? Just ur opinion, what you think is VERY GG for a bowazon, price doesn't matter here, and yes I've checked al the guides, there are some really nice ones out there.

THanks all:afro:

1. I wonder about it too. If you ever plan to do uber trist, I'll go resist charms with other useful mods (to stack res- you gonna need it). I'm not sure about the usefulness of b&xbow skillers, unless they have good +life mod.

Agree, and two more questions:

6. How good are bowazons against FCers?
7. Is it true that bowazons don't have good resists?

1. What charms do Bowazons normally fill their inventory with?

a combination that suite you of: frw, max/ar, life and res. All depending on skill, stats and other equipment

2. What's the MAXIMUM IAS a gg bowazon can have?

the maximum ias possible... Without faith this would be: 30 from boots-gloves, 10 from belt, 60 from armour, 45 from helm and 20 from amulet. Though why do want to know this? It is quite useless you know. You want 7 fpa guide arrow, search the stickies for the exact breakpoints.

3. What's the MAXIMUM FRW a gg bowazon can have?

Again, why do want to know this? The maximum is not smart. Anyway, atleast 30 from helm, 20 from amulet, harmony, enigma... You get the points. Arround 130 you start to dechyne. Much more really is a waste.

4. Which is generally better, to have lots of pdscs or lots of OW?

lost of pdscs would be best, though both are quite useless. If you trigger once it will only reset the timer next time you hit them. So have 100% ow isn't needed as this doesn't do that much damage and gets reset each hit anyway. Same goes for pdscs. Though you can make a build full of pdscs and start running once you hit. something that doesn't work with ow.

5. Can anyone list the GODLIEST LIEST LIEST LIEST LIEST GEAR for a bowazon?

yes we can.

The guides are there for a reason, most of them give you the adives about the godliest possible gear. Why do want to know this again? Aren't there enough guides/other topic about this subject. In the end, it all come down to preferences and small adjustments to what the guides advise. And no-one can predefine them for you.

6.[...]

fc as in farcast. Why would you even take that as a reference? They are cheaters. Every char that absobrs is good, and so is a bowazon, though without absorb i think you will have a hard time, as most char do.

7.[..]

Yes it is, there is a bug that prevents bowazons form have max res. (note the sarcasm please).



If you want max res, then go for max res. If you don't, then don't. Yes bowazon may have more problems then other char, though everything is possible if you only want it bad enough. The problem is that bowazon don't have that much damage so they have to sacrifise gear to get decent damage. The same gear that some char can use to get better res. note also that they don't have a shield and no build in res skill. Though again, if you want, everything is possible.
