bowazon strafe vs. multi shot

[supa_penguins]

PVM/PVP bowazon,

"strafe"
OR
"multi-shot and guided arrow"?

i'm, thinking if im using strafe i won't really need guided arrow, meaning i'll have more points to put else where.

strafe also goes down in mana unlike multi shot.

and it is also quite fast.

BUT
i dont really like the idea of having to stand still until all shots are fired.

ALSO
the multi shot and guided arrow was always the recommended build for most bowazons.

THUS
confusion has been created.

MEANING
i need help

SO
can anyone help me out?

thnx,
Dz

i voted in guided arrow in pvp

strafe and multi are pretty useless in pvp. if u use multi, u can only hit the same monster once, strafe hits multiple times and does more dmg, but can be easily avoided by just running to the side. i suggest just guided and max out the dodging skills and critical strike

PVP = Guided and the dodge/critical/evade.. you know, the dodging skills. Max 'em out.

In #1 Season, I had a boss PvP/PvM Zon. She wasn't 100% bow, however. I had these skills maxed out right out the chuge: Jab, Guided, Multi. After that, put a point into the dodging skills//critical strike, and max those as you see fit. PvP, just put on IAS gear and crank out guided arrows as fast as god will allow. PvM, drop huge grups with multi, melee or whatever chars, secondary weapon over to Jab. She solo'd Act3 Travincal and Act4 Hellforge-ish(she ever could take Chaos due to Iron Maiden) with great ease, as that's all I'd need her for PvM.. rushes of course, my trusty Sorc would do the rest.

Now, in my humble opinion, if you want a boss PvP//PvM Bowazon, in .10, they're just too nerfed to solo hell alone. You're gonna have to get something else. Jab is what I chose, but if you wanted to be cool or whatever, you could get one of those other attacks that I can't remember. With a .10 zon though, unless straight out Java Zon, I highly suggest a split tree.

to rush hell i would say hammerdins with the rite sutff..

o ya edit ughh never max out critical strike.. its useless having it maxed.. only put 5 points into that
