Description

I am brainstorming how to add a
Protector's Stone
in my tele Bowazon build.

Currently using: Enigma,
Diadem
45ias,
Atma's Scarab
,
Laying of Hands
, Faith
Shadow Bow
,
War Traveler
,
Razortail
or Arachnid's Mesh, Rare rings.

I am wiling to lose some FCR though.

I don't want to replace Enigma.

Helmet is the only way to go, but If I lose 15ias from the helmet, I will need to add more ias either from Amulet or
Belt
, but I DO want to try
Gheed's Wager
. Plus,
Atma's Scarab
is the only thing helping me kill bosses in a timely manner (I am looking at you
Baal
).

I added some of these on Max Roll, it will have more damage, but I don't believe will be more efficient.

Prob I will stick to what I have right now...

Thoughts?

Can be used to make Runewords:

Maybe give your Faith to an act1 merc so you can use wither WF or
Witchwild String
?
Witchwild String
also has 2os and amp damage so you could swap your amulet to something else. Maybe highlords, cate eye, or a zon
Caster Amulet

I can trade DLC or non-DLC on both PC or xbox.

All my
Blood Ring
and
Caster Amulet
priced at
Ist
or below are now FREE.

OP
Thanks for the suggestion!

I tried wws in maxi roll as well, even added the jewel, but still the dmg output is bad... and the % proc is 2% I believe,
Atma
's is better. I purchased a wws some time ago to try it, end up selling it after some tries. I didn't have the guts to add 2
Ber
on it... but I would love to see it.

Wf is cool, I played some time with it, but overall Faith is more efficient. Cool thing it allows me to use rings without mana leech.

It would be much easier to tell if you can provide your build and Fana level.

Even after all these years, WF is still a great option. I used it on my straf-azon (prior to the
Strafe
buff) up until I finally got a
Jah
to make my Faith. The base was a Grand Matron with +3 bow skills and 12% ED, so tough to NOT do that.

Fana 15, let me know if I miss any important item in my first comment.

Yeah GMB is great dmg wise, but you are stuck with 95 ias if you want to beat the breakpoints, that's why I use
Shadow Bow
, cause it need only 65 ias (and allows me to change from various items).

I just gave up, the 1k additional damage won't worth lose the quality in the gameplay that I have right now.

Thx guys

Looks like you are using Multi shot as main skill, then you have no other choice, but stay at 65 ias.
Why not
Strafe
, don't like the standing still style?

There's no free chicken, and most of the time one is stuck with choosing their
Sacrifice
. If you value ias above other things, then there's the
Sacrifice
. Same as swapping out skills or play style. I used to catch Grief for not going multishot, but I found the hoot, shoot, and scoot of
Strafe
to be a funner time vs just walking through screens of dead stuff picking up loot. I say that after 4 deaths in WSK today due to RNGesus throwing bad stacks of dolls, Black Souls, and one particularly rude Possessed Death Lord my way, so maybe the screens of dead stuff is a better experience.

RotW PC
Of all the builds I've looked at re-gearing post-RotW, bowzon is indeed one of the hardest to fit the new gem into imo. In both, WF and Faith builds.

No matter how you play it, you're stuck giving up something that you really don't want to have to give up for it...
Drop a2 merc for a1 fana (WF only).
Drop an IAS jewel and with that an entire frame.
Switch to a faster but otherwise worse base (Faith only).
Switch a bit of other gear around to free up an extra socket at the cost of all sorts of other things.

For most others, the change is obvious (e.g. "drop facet for new and improved facet").
For some select few, it takes a bit of thinking and reworking but plays nicely in the end.
But for bowzons...ugh.
