LC50 is proving to be somewhat difficult as a Bowazon. The Amazon Warriors drop my HP very quickly if my merc doesn't absorb their damage. Strategies for dealing with them?

4 tips:

1. Invest in defense, not sure exactly how much to suggest, but the higher your defense the less likely you are to get hit. Make sure you have the highest teir TUs available to you, and if you need to MO enhanced defense into your major pieces.

2. % Damage reduction, this really isn't available for most classes at this level except barb, but it would help.

3. Hit and move, I dont know what build you're using but a lot of the arrows (especially the swarm of arrows) needs to be manually dodged. If you're ranged or a caster, shoot and scoot. If you're melee, kill a pack then move asap.

4. Tanky summons, more summons on the battleflield the better. Most classes have some sort of summons, keep them in front of you.

LC50 isn't really supposed to be too difficult, it mostly serves as a gear check for nightmare. If you're having trouble here you're going to have trouble in nightmare.

Bowazons have zero defense so the first advice can be disregarded.

I was play bow ama many seasons and now it pretty weak. And main reason 18 yards wyrmshot. Wyrmshot radius i hope b reverted from start 28 -0.6 per 4 base poins, some like that. You can try last cheap build sets was tested in prev seasons. Tu 4 Cervelliere + astroga amu +2 xorine, +good craft bow 280 add dmg. Smax curare, get around -80 enemy poison resist, 40%dr and u see result. Well game become balanced for end game umo projects and endgame bow ama was pretty good. If you want bow- try bow druid, really good one. Dmg summons kill speed defence avoid. If need tanky zon - storm zon have good def can have max block.

I was quit with ama but merc pretty happy now with this bow

What Merc are you using? Any A3 Merc with random high-defense gear should be able to solo LC50. Also, don't use your fire elementals, they will just draw more arrows from zons.
