Description

Hey All,

Need some advice on Bowazon. Had some spare Wealth this ladder (never had spare Wealth before) so wanted to try a new build- still levelling at about level 73 now.

Switched to Faith in GMB at level 65 and wow, got so much more powerful than Buriza I was using before that.

Was pretty excited to get to level 73 to use
Windforce
and give an Act 1 Merc my Faith so I still get
Fanaticism
(level 14).

However, it is significantly worse than Faith.

My attack rating drops from 7,000 with fait to 2,000, lost "Ignores Target Defense" and damage only went up slightly. So now I don't hit as much and barely gained any attack,

What am I missing? I thought
Windforce
was BIS.

Am I doing something wrong or should I just keep Faith and get an Act 2 Might merc and build a Pride?

My other gear is Fort, LoH,
Razortail
, Cats Eye,
Raven Frost
,
Silkweave
. (still some improvement to be had there.

Thanks and appreciate any advice from Bowazon players out there...

Are you using
Strafe
or Multishot? Also what
Helm
?
I use a similar set up to what you are talking about here but I've got Gorerider and
Atma's Scarab
. And when I'm bored I swap to a
Witchwild String
for fun and for extra res, deadly strike, and more amp dmg.
When using
Windforce
as primary (and merc using Faith) I use some
Blood Gloves
with 2 pass and magic, 20IAS and 10 CB since it has built in Knockback.
I don't have any issues with hitting (I use
Strafe
) and stuff seems to die pretty fast.

All trades can be accomplished via PC or xbox. All reasonable offers will be considered and probably accepted.

OP
Thanks for reply

Want to use multishot primarily,

Used
Strafe
when levelling as again multishot did not hit much but with Faith I was hitting everything and was more fun.

Just using tals
Mask
now as dont have other leach.

Yeah
Strafe
does seem to hit more but I'd ideally like to use either
Strafe
or multishot...

Against Death knights, I seem to go from 74% change to hit to 54% so it is a big drop...

Multishot is so insanely mana hungry, I shy away for that reason.
Strafe
hits very consistently. You need a way to deal with physical immune (amp dmg will work) and a decent amount of CB. Even 10% from gloves would make a big diff. Giantskull is also something to consider as a
Helm
. You can use a BK ring for life leech since WF already has mana leech.

All trades can be accomplished via PC or xbox. All reasonable offers will be considered and probably accepted.
