PvM Multi/Strafe/Guided Bowazon Guide

[Rapta111]

Yes, I HAVE heard of the Wildwitchstring, but I'm currently on non-ladder and unable to upgrade this super bow to the elite diamond bow version which makes its damage GODLY.

[Silver Ice]

i see wut u mean with wws

here is a screenie of a wws i made

[Rapta111]

Heh yeah that's pretty much it. So around 1k with normal shot, then amp which makes it 2k, then 4k with deadly strike.

But what's the 2 jewels in it?

[DeadInside.DOA]

Two shaels into the open sockets add huge ias. Another thing I have done in the past is use Wf and have WWS on switch for physical immunes. It shoots magic arrows so it hurts them.

[neurotiK]

that sounds like a good plan, I have to try it some time.

[Rapta111]

Hmm... anyone have an Up'ed wws on non-ladder? :p

[DeadInside.DOA]

Any of you know what the max ias for a strafer is? I am going to make a new one soon and wanted to make sure first.

[Rapta111]

Depends on the bow.

[DeadInside.DOA]

This time I think WWS.

[Silver Ice]

Heh yeah that's pretty much it. So around 1k with normal shot, then amp which makes it 2k, then 4k with deadly strike.

But what's the 2 jewels in it?

10 to min dmg jewels, 1 has 15% ias on it

[Rapta111]

Err... is that really necessary?

[Silver Ice]

well look at the dmg, 109-110.

now if a char had really low dex then that dmg would be like 950-960. if the min- max dmg is so close, a char does very well

[Rapta111]

what would the damage be if say... the zon had 350 dex?

[Silver Ice]

it depends on the weapon, the spell lvl, and a few other thing like travs adding 10-33 dmg or so

[66xerox66]

2 x 40/15 ias in a uped wws will be godly

[Rapta111]

Better to have your damage close together, especially when you're using a speedzon build like a WWS build.

I really like reading about all this, a straf zon sounds like a good idea, although Im not rich enough to buy a wf, I still like bowazons, if anyone has a wf on non-ladder us:west, I have a 6 soc hydra bow, soj, 4 soc armor with 541 defence, i don't know what any of it's worth, hell I don't even know what WF is worth but they seem reallly cool to me, Im making a mf sorc so I might have some better items later, but plz if anyone has a low wf or a really crappy one Ill buy it..

If your not rich enough for WF get a WitchWIld String bow. Upgrade it to the elite version and put two shael runes in the sockets. It has lower max damage than WF but is faster and has a tighter damage range. Its also cheaper but can be hard to find cause alot of people will just throw it away if they are not familiar with bowazons.

[Silver Ice]

then again wws seems like its a lower lvl therefore more bosses could drop it making it slightly easier to find. but yeah id use a 15% ias 10 min dmg and another 10 min dmg jewel, if it does 109-110 weapon dmg thats gonna be very close min-max dmg

[DeadInside.DOA]

Yeah it is lower lvl so it will drop alot more then the elite uniques. I just started a new Wichyzon and the problem I have is finding a WWS :confused: Cause I have asked in trading games or for people to bring it and noone knows wtf I am talking about. While I am mfing in nm praying to God that a unique bow, with the right base, will drop someone else somewhere has found one and thrown it away saying "what a piece of shit!" . If anyone has one on USWLSC that could trade/give that would be awesome.
