PvP Bowa Build by bobsmith10
Some of the gear used in this guid is not the prefered gear by most players but this is what I use and I believe it to be a good build, and with that all said and done here it is.
Stats:
Strength:
Just enought to be able to wear your gear, there is no need to add extra points into your strength.
Dexterity:
Put all the points that you have left over into this, the more points you have into dexterity the more damage you will do because one point into dexterity is like one enhanced damage.
Vitality:
You want to put enough points into this to have around 1k health.
Energy:
None, this will be useless for a bowa.
The Gear:
Helm:
Giant Skull
-2 sockets for 40/15 jewls
-knockback
-plus to strength
Amulet:
The Cat's Eye
-30% faster run/walk
-20% increased attack speed
-plus to dexterity
Amour:
Fortitude
-300% enhanced damage
-plus to life
-plus to resisatances
This is the better choice of amour over a 160/60 because the ias brakepoint will be reached so and the enhanced damage on the fortitude is much better.
Belt:
Nosferatu's Coil
-10% increased attack speed
-life steal
-plus to strength
Rings:
2x Raven Frost
-plus to dexterity
-plus to mana
-cold absorb
-plus to attack rating
-cannot be frozen
Gloves:
Rare or Crafted gloves
-+2 to passive and magic or +2 to bow and crossbow
-20% increased attack speed
-plus to dexterity
-any other atributes are bounesus
Boots:
War Traveler
-25% faster run/walk
-plus to strength
-plus to vitality
-adds damage
Weapon:
Faith in a Matriachal Bow
-plus to Fanaticism Aura
-plus to all skills
-+3 to bow and crossbow skills
-enhanced damage
-ignores target's defence
-plus to resistances
I chose to use the matriachal bow over the grand matron bow because it is a faster bow, so less ias is needed to reach the brakepoint and also less strength is needed for the matriachal bow.
Charms:
20-20 zon torch
20-20-10 anni
I don't know what gc's or sc's are used with a bowa but i do not believe it is passive gc's or bow gc's i think i might be gc's that add ed and maby max damage or attack rating.
Skills:
Critical Strike-20:
The higher this skill is the better chance you have to do double damage, and since none of the gear being used has deadly strike you won't need to find the optimal level for the best chance for doing double damage.
Penetrate - 20:
Once again the higher this skill is the better. This will increase your attack rating so you have a better chance of hitting other when dueling.
Multiple Shot - 1:
This skill only needs one point put into it because the only thing that changes when you put it up is the number of arrows that you shoot, you will still do 3/4 of your weapons damage no matter how many points are in it.
Guided Arrow - 20:
This will be your main attack in duels.
Dodge - 19:
Avoid - 5:
Evade - 19:
With gear that has perfect stats, and gloves that give +2 to passive and not +2 to bow, you should have about a 60% chance to dodge
With these skill levels you should be level 95, and if you level more you can either put a point into valkyrie or put up your dodge, avoid, evade then put a point into strafe, or something else its up to you.
Mercenarys:
Act one mercenarys would be best for a bowa
Gear:
Helm:
Andariel's Visage
I'm not realy sure why but this is what I have been told works well.
Amour:
Ethereal Fortitude
Same reasons that your character is wearing it but eth because it will not break on a merc and has alot higher defense.
Weapon:
Brand
-chance to cast amplified damage
-knockback
Do not use faith on your merc if you are using faith on your character, bad things will happen, fanaticism does not like to be stacked.
And so ends this bowa guide, I know I did not give the brakepoints for the ias of the two bows I talked about but its true, you can believe me and if you don't go look for your self, and don't wory you will have more then enough ias with this build even for using strafe. Leave and comments or questions you may have.
