Hi dope topic, since im playing a Hardcore Bowa exclusively, ill give some input too.
What i noticed if you are using Atmas you dont really need the Bonebreak, atmas scarab will negate the immunity just takes bit longer to proc it.
Yall posted most of the combinations of gear gloves etc, whats cool about matrialchal bow is the flexibility when it comes to gear so that was my fist choice in picking the bow base.
Most people will do a Faith bow since its far superior in most situations.
I took another aproach tho, and made a elemental/phys bowa and Mist turned out to be the perfect bow for this on hc.
Damage spread looks like this (i dumped stats into vita and 40 points into Freezing Arrow and Exploding Arrow, 1 point into everything else and putting the remaining ones into Evade to offset the defence loss while moving)
Dmg Spread is 2k phys 2,8cold 2,5 fire ( 3x 10max and rest is +bow and a fire sunder )
she has just over 1600 life without buffs.
Have a total blast with her while taking advantage of her whole portfolio of skills. Had many bowas over the years and this one is the most elegant and fun for me so far.
For gear i went the following
Mist (for res, + 6 skill, 100% Pierce) Fortitude (massive armor and dmg boost) Kira's Guardian with 15Ias jool for breakpoint (capping all res with this) Verdungo's Hearty Cord (Life and DR) Wisp Projector (for life boost, mf and Light absorbsion)
Dual leech ring Mara's Kaleidoscope (for + skills and overcap in res since Lower Resistance exists)
+3 Bow / 20 Ias Gloves Aldur's Advance (for the life and Fire res after sunder) Harmony on switch (for zooming around)
Goal was to be super frickin tanky, she can farm everywhere and has some room to fiddle around like putting on a Giant Skull for Knockback, Silkweave for mana, Arachnid Mesh for more + skill, Goldwrap for magic find just to name a few combinations. Shes even good without any mercs so you can add anything you prefer
Sorry for the wall of text, just throwing my two cents in about bowas
This looks fun. I already have a solid Mist bow in a MB base too. Gunna give this a try. With all the elemental dmg and Mist having Concentrate, what did u end up using on your merc?

I picked the Holy Freeze merc with Cure and Insight because Hardcore (if i find a good reapers or make a new Infinity i might change wpn) but in general id pick a double Plague Act V merc or an Static Field merc From a3 also with a Plague sword
I have another approach for you: A frostzon/strafezon-hybrid:
The gear is in the description.
This build is a lot of fun, if you don't plan to play players7/8. No problems with immunities. It's even better with an Infinity-merc, but I wanted to try a dual-bow-merc-setup, and it works!
Or here my pure Strafezon:
She's a lot stronger, but more boring to play.
For low items I also accept: Perfect Amys, Ral, Hel, Tokens, Keys. Please don't offer runes lower than Pul (with the named exceptions).
My "Resurrected" trades can be converted to RotW! Just message me.
Okay so for the build I have, if I’m doing cows, Lava Gout ROLLS on em. If I’m doing Chaos Sanctuary, Laying of Hands. Baal run, my crafted 2/20 passive magic gloves seem to work best.
