-density of mobs decreased = proc on items need a bit incr.
-some items even secr looks good but useless vs sssu or even craft
► Show Spoiler

-still no Final quest. why we collect this charms all time.. just collect and end? So why not made finally it. Some high exp farm area and portal there to hardest uber...
Make some area like cows, but much harder - with good exp for lvling 122-125 faster and doable mostly in party.
Example make mobs like chars ama assa barbs etc there that will be using char specific skills.

-bow ama needs boost.

Bow amazon is 100% fine as is. I played it this season and had no unexpected issues. Had ~105 all pierce except poison at about -60%, huge damage, fast kill, leech and laek more than enough.

Also, that Goedendag is not secret. It's SSU. Not all items are meant to be holy-shit-that's-op. Item reworks and balancing are taking place slowly across patches leading up to sigma anyways.

Wait) You talk about ama with all charms, and all rare sssu-secr gear?
Did you talk with players? I do.
Its easy was for me to farm sanctum for set, duncr without tp areas, some other areas... Fuzt harder and not interesting with bow ama anymore- need good LL LAEK- dont have items for that.
..But i used Asgardsreia + Dear Esther slow/cb roll. Total DR%40+ from secret sssu itmes, exept tu6 Splint Mail
► Show Spoiler

...and pounce ama = yep, really good. Great dmg , great def, -high enemy poison res easy doable, rare gear not needed, LL great, mobs get HR-animation and its even better than slow, and GH works good vs bosses and trees in jungles.

I used the bow set for probably about 75-80% of the charms. It was my first character, not twinked to shit middle of season. The only high end piece of equip I used towards end game was Dear Esther and Asgardsreia until much later when I added BMR and QT amulet.

I ask you, did you talk to players who actually tried the build and tried to work around the issues they were having? Adjusting gear and MO's to properly fit what they were trying to do instead of facerolling like you were a 1 million defense barbarian who gets tickled by attacks? Bowzon is in a very good place as it is. Quality > Quantity in most reviews like this.

Also, dunno why you keep saying secret sssu. SSSU items aren't secret. Secret items are secret, and there are not many of them: Stormblade, Grizzly, Point of No Return, Beads of Snake King, Empyrean Glory are the only officially "secret" items (as they literally say Secret in the name if/when you find one).

EditL for your curiosity, I used:

It doesn't look like Noctule gets any + magic damage from batstrike synergy. slvl 2, batstrike has 8 points, but the shown magic damage is still 24, even though it should have 40% bonus, resulting in ~33 magic damage.

After respeccing I saw that it won't even increase in the lcs, so the synergy is obviously not working at all.

Ventrell wrote:Aero, can you write a guide about Bowzon, please?


Suchbalance has written one already. I more or less used that, with my own knowledge of game mechanics as well as knowledge of patch updates since that was written.

I have 3 more guides in my list yet to be written anyways.

Edit: More related to topic title: Minions at Baal's Throne (the summoned waves before baal fight) don't spawn corpses, or if they do, they're very minimal. I can see many corpses on the ground, but Shatter the Flesh isn't targeting them.

Not sure if this is common knowledge yet,

Assassin Bats from Batstrike do not benefit from minion resists. This was discovered through very thorough practical tests against Detonators, Frozen Soul (Glacial Spike Elites), Diablo's Bloodstorm etc, and even with massively overcapped minion res, they do not benefit from it.

I have to drop a theorycrafted build now because of this. which is many wasted hours.

Please fix.
