Skill Investment

Hey Guys,

I am making a bowzon right now, and was wondering what I should go for. I'm maxing strafe, putting a few points into MS, and can't decide between maxing the GA or Freezing Arrow and Cold Arrow.

I'm leaning towards the 2 ice arrows as they can help me deal with physical immunes, but it seems GA is better at boss killing and is useful to shoot after monsters who run.

Can anyone give me some advice? (I'm not maxing both GA and the ice arrows, as I need points in Valk and other skills)

Thanks

My bowie used 1 point GA to kill boss, ~7k dmg, maybe you can list gear to we have a better idea of the build and I will recomend a read on Kijya gunslinger guide, very good too to finish a boss with cs.

For equipment, I'm going with something like this:

Weapon: Faith GMB or MB (can't decide)
Helmet: 3 x 40ed/15 ias jeweled helm
Armour: Fortitude
Belt: Razortail
Gloves: find a pair for 20 ias gloves
Boots: Gore Rider
Rings: Raven Frost and Dual Leech
Amulet: Highlord's

Hmm... with equipment like that I say go with MA as PI solution. MA requires no synergy and benefits from the amount of physical punch you are delivering so you just focus on building your physical damage.

Allright, thanks a lot!

So then would I also use MA for bosses?

Use MA just for those PIs. Bowazons are sadly not great boss killers, they get the job done but not as fast as others can. GA or strafe (if you have good tanks) will do. As for 1 or max GA, it is really up to you. You can dump more points into GA provided you don't need anything else skillwise.
