Yes, but deadly strike is amazing. That's why you bless it with another intimidating.

Yes I got lucky and it comes with 4% deadly strike already. Would it be bad if I use hidden for extra minions or abandoned for dex? Or intimidating is the best final answer lol

They stack. You can get 2-4ds from base craft bonuses and another 2-4ds on top of it from the bless. Always bless with inti.

So, I am a newbie in Median, have played before Sigma a little and at its realease.
This league I got to Hell Baal with SSF Ice Sorc with about 10 deathes. Then I decided to try another class, because I collected a lot of uniques (whitch can be crafted with Ench Oil + 2 arcan crystals ^_^ ).
So I twinked Amazon, because I like her. I tried her in previous leagues but she was so hard to play (survive) and now game is easier (Act 3 Normal Kurast mobs are now like 0 damage and many others too). But even twinked Amazon, I follow your guide, thanks, dies so often then SSF Ice Sorc. I think that I definitely have 200 deathes (First death was on Normal Baal though - I got Flamestriked with 75 fire res, but now I better understand that you need always move >+<).
I took normal Barb merc, because they were strong, but now I feel that he isn't nowadays.
Ecstatic Frenzy on or off makes not difference in surviving, I think because dodge and defence passives we don't max. So leveling was much harder then sorceress' one. Even Paragon at lvl 90 didn't help.
I ended with lvl 109, wyrmshot damage was 1200-1900, 6200 hp. Akara's Rob, Featherclaws, horrific belt (res, dex, str), Herald of Skartara (perfect skulls, ed, 2s mana steal), Siegfied, Hanabigami Quiver. And here is Stats picture.

So I don't know what I was doing wrong or maybe it is just Amazon's such character on Median (but she even doesn't feel like glass sword sorceress, she's just glass).
Thanks for guide once more. Stay safe!

Im new too and from what i understand this build suppose to die ALOT (ecstatic frenzy and dont invest in minions for meat shield), i ended up zombie running most boss. Im ovioualy not skilled enough so now ive only finish killing hell baal in this guide's progression part. But for a farmer she is quite fast since this build can easily reach 200% mf + you are fast with ecstatic frenzy + wyrmshot auto target. I can usually blaze through duncraig to farm now although teleporting over walls without getting stunlock to death is still a problem. Also ecstatic frenzy is great for ssf because it helps me to stop looking for upgrades for my gear all the time since my defense is 0 anyway.

Yes, Bowzon is a glass cannon, the build is based around being 0 defense at all times. Your survivability is raw HP and leech through your gear and high ms and late game physical res. You need to do more damage to survive better is the jist.

It takes a bit of learning to get used to it but as long as you follow the guide step by step you should be able to get far as long as you don't mind dying a lot on the way.

Bowzon is one of the best farmers in the game and easily clears things like dunc/fauzt/tenagze without dying (besides accidents) once you've hit the appropriate checkpoints to do so in this guide
Keep at it, you'll get there.

You have a lot of stats wasted in str, I don't think you listed anything that needs anything in it. I think you may have skipped some parts of the guide and made it way harder for yourself. I would suggest going over the milestones again and do what was missed, and respec out of all that str I'd you can. That's a huge AMT of dmg you're missing.

It also looks like you never got a scarab amulet which is a huge part of hitting the breakpoints in this guide. You'll have no problem honestly if you go back over the milestones and not move on until they are completed. It's worth it instead of dropping, trust me.

What do you guy think about bloodbone ring to replace Ripstar to farm ? It has 1% chance to cast Veil On kill which give you alot more damage then ripstar.
