Bow Druid

Never played a bow druid but would like to try. Are there any hints or recommendations for it or a guide? I couldnt find one. And is it a playable build at the moment?
Thx in advance

have you considered playing a build without following a guide ? read the docs , test some gear and skillplan that you think will go well , adapt on the way and make the gear and skillplan adjustments that you consider necessary . and have fun

there are at least 2 or 3 different ways to play one of those , i'm sure you'll figure out one that suits you

Great for farming. Shit for bossing

Discounting homing nova shot, what serviceable single target skill does bow druid have?

No, but why do you need more, and how/why does that fact makes it a shit bosskiller? Because homing nova shot is an excellent bosskiller skill with the right setup.

You don't think this comes off as a bit condescending?

What if I DONT have the Sacred Unique Item in question?

then you run up to melee range and blast the boss with regular nova shot and high fire pierce/phys damage.

or get

Faerie Pyre

Faerie Pyre
Serpent Bow (Sacred)
Two-Hand Damage: (213 - 271) to (302 - 392)
(Druid Only)
Required Level: 100
Required Dexterity: 555
Item Level: 105
Dexterity Damage Bonus: (0.19 per Dexterity)%
Laughing Ghost: +8% Bonus Magic Damage per Summon Skill Base Level
1% Chance to cast level 10 Arrow on Striking
Adds (50 to 80)-(130 to 190) Damage
15% Life stolen per Hit
+(130 to 170)% Enhanced Damage
+28 to Laughing Ghost
Fire Absorb (1 to 5)%
Lightning Absorb (1 to 5)%
Cold Absorb (1 to 5)%
(25 to 50)% Bonus to Defense
Socketed (6)

and get really good at aiming Laughing Ghost and max that skill

Savage Hunter

is a common drop as far as SU's go.
Bow druid farms well and has good defense once you get black road charm.

And Crash, you know full well that laughing ghost is the most frustrating skill in this whole game.
