As far as casters go: sorc & necro good as always, mana sorc got a big buff in the patch. Holy caster is pretty underrated altho he is harder to play. One mistake that people who played ultimative and not 2017 make is try to bumrush the game in T1s and garbage gear and suffer as a result. You need to keep your gear up to date now for casters also.

If you wanna try something ranged I'd recommend a bow druid, great aoe, tanky & decent single target.


Suchbalance, will you ever do any more guides? I love your guides, and in fact, first build i ever played in median was your bowazon, totally loved it and it helped me understand Median back when i was starting!

sMaxed nova shot for single target, when you're getting gangbanged by melees and as a mana spender is a must. Then between spore/cascade/laughing depends on your preferences really. I like spore shot for huge crowds & cascade for spread out mobs & as an opener due to its huge range.

I might do one in the future, no promises however. I don't really have as much time to spend on such stuff as before.

How does bow druid handle getting charms tho? Nova shot for single-target doesn't seem very strong imo. Wouldn't laughing ghost be better? And what about fire immunes?

Don't do it unless you have great items and most charms.

I think that sin melee is just lvling faster. Range for ubers. Caster for farm. Well, untwinked sin would be range.

Hey SB, can you please give me/us some tips about the bowzon in MXL 2017? I read through the patchnotes and Chuck Norris' miniguide for a bowzon and noticed, that he isn't even mentioning wyrmshot for example, whats going on there? When I played my bowzon in MXL XV, wyrmshot was the go to (I followed your guide), so I'm very confused.

Every answer to this will be very appreciated!

I've only played bowzon this season as per SB's old guide and it still works fine once you get the set. You have to understand you're going to die a lot as a zero defense character, but if you don't mind that and learning to dodge and such, its fine.

Sin is a bad char to start median. As a noob you shouldn't do that it just leads to frustrations. If you want to do it go for the limpet laser guide. For leveling I recommend either the TU nagi and barrier strike or fireball sentry. You can get a good bunch of charms just with honorific items. And all with shrine crafted but if you shrine craft anyways then you should/could go for electrofield sentry.

Easy starters are all barb builds, most paladin builds, caster sorcs/druid.

Is there an updated guide for this?
