How exactly do bowazon's manage to do 4.5 k physical damage with multi shot and 5 k damage with strafe?

Starting with a 150 average damage bow as basically the highest with fair attack speed I dont see how its getting so high.

any help?

Also whats good tweaking gear and good skill setup fro a starting bowazon?

I really have no idea. I used a..thing..on my single player zon. I used all the gear that I was supposed to and only got up to 3.4k.

By making it a glass cannon and dont forget the double damage from critical strike. Charms also go a long way to add damage. Use Fortitude armor + Faith or WF.

Windforce
Fortitude
500 or more dexterity
Helm with 120% enhanced damage
Faith on mercenary
Alot of skillpoints in Critical Strike, or high chance of Deadly Strike from equipment

Easily gets you to 5000 or more Strafe Damage.

I might be able to make a faith in a diamond bow but I don't have a windforce.
Got a fortitude.
I dont think there's anyway I'm gonna solo through the game with 500 or more dexterity so thats not likely.
With me carrying the faith that gives me the ability to have a might merc with pride?
counting critical strike it's kinda cheating in my view unless it's like 100%, I don't use it in raw damage equation.

that be close enough?

Yes if you carry the faith you can go with the might/pride convo you may find this useful http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=293297

wow those damage calculations seem to add up to low damage....makes me wonder if I'll even be able to make it through hell.

You don't need that kind of damage to simply make it through hell.

don t expect any bowzon to be able to solo 8 player games at the same speed as others like hammerdin, light sorc, etc.

Maybe look into going hybrid then. Eaglehorn is a good bow to use and just put points into multi and get pierce to a decent level. Then max charged strike and its synergies.

Why not? Zons dont have tele, but when it comes to kill speed, i'll back a well built zon any day. Lamerdins cant even fully clear den of evil normal without some monsters escaping through the hammer field.
