its a nice bow but yea its QoL'ish, like LH said bowazon doesnt really get viable defense to facetank projectiles let alone melee zergers even without EF in Destruction. You will still have to be using manual dodging and the occasional Spellbind in OH SHII- situations and that is a very good thing.

Its still a nice looking bow though.

Bow isn't that great since bowzons are not rlying on def that much. Other stats are great. Mb somethung like "double wyrmshot targets" could be better.
Btw very good idea to finally add spd on staff as superior affix. It makes much more secnce in rerolling staves for RWs.

The difference between 0 and 60k defence is one between 95% chance to be hit and 43% in TA for example - a 55% damage reduction.

The fact that previously bowzons didn't build for defence is irrelevant. With this unique you now have a choice. You can build the character the same way as before and just take the extra damage reduction from the effect, or you can scale defence through the balance passive and gear to become tankier without losing the benefits of EF. With enough defence you could even switch Paragon for Curare without being a glass cannon.

I suppose so. I just don't normally affiliate bowzon with balance, since you'll need to invest in that, frenzy, curare, sunstrike (for wyrmshot range), wyrmshot, and dragonlore.

lots of things to max. tl ; dr. new bowzons specs incoming

why would you spec curare with bowzon?

btw I don't think that's superior affix, it's probably lucky oil since the staff also has ED% on it

+1

there's a massive difference between 0 defense and anything above it. even for assassins back in the day 20k or 30k defense would be quite a big difference.
