SSF Bowzon

Just one minor spelling mistake I found: It's called Toraja, not Tojara.

Great guide nonetheless!

Efficiency is the name of the game and it's best to buckle down and grind once you don't need to move from there. If you can do it though, feel free! Bowzon is very versatile as long as you have the damage and aren't losing efficiency.

I tested yesterday a bowzon in duncraig with only tu4 gear (but moed), crafted bow, and average charms till lvl req115. Capped Trinity Arrow at 24, had only 20% physical/magical damage% increase, so after patch damage should be a little bit higher. Killspeed was ok. Than i used 400 sigs and the damage increase "only" by 20%. But gameplay cleary smoother, it felt like 40% i would say. but without Sigs the killspeed was ok for me. Maybe i will do like 200 sigsfrom nila, just to not get bored from duncraig^^

Yeah Acry just tested it and reported a massive dmg loss from not having 2 ripstars and 400 sigs. I think each Dunc run took above 10 mins. I'll retest it myself when 1.6 hits, but I don't think I'll be recommending Dunc for sig farming in the guide. Too unefficient.

Fixed, ty ♥

Thanks for the fast answer, I have two another questions:

Do you have any suggestions how to teleport in duncraig safe? To me often it was luck. I had the suggested ias and fhr in the guide. When i teleported some meters beside the pack it was easy, i killed them very fast and the life leech kept me alive, when i shoud get a hit. But when i teleported exactly in the pack, i most times instantly die, before i can make a shot. Even with minions. I tried Wyrm shot and barrage.

Could you explain when you use barrage and when phanlx on bosses and why? And when you use barrage should i go into melee range or as far as the range allow it.

I think u have the answer to ur first question already, try not to tele into packs ;D When u got no choice i'd say barrage has been working the best for me in those situations.

Phalanx is mostly good for bosses u dont want to get close to or that are standing pretty still, that way u can aim the phalanx and make the entire wall (more or less) of amazons shoot the boss. Be sure u aim it correctly tho (:
Also, phalanx is useful cuz u can hurt the boss while walking around as long as u recast it every now and then.
But if u can face tank the boss barrage is prolly better.

Hope it helps (:

As for Dunc, even in the lategame if you tele straight into a pack you'll get fhr'd and die. Teleport a few yards next to them when you have a choice. If you don't (there are only 2 place in Dunc ,I think, that doesn't let you see where you land), it's RNG. Always make a TP right before you teleport and change the angle at which you teleport; it will make you appear to a different locations.

As for Barrage vs Phalanx, just use your gut/what feels right.

Great guide! :clap:

Looking forward playing bowzon

I've been farming cows for a Sacred Reflex all day, I'm beginning to think they don't exist! T.T

Cool guide but unfortunately I like to play hardcore and ofc died early on. Are there any builds like this for hardcore with videos? Hard to come by an elite hardcore guide

I wish you the very best of luck. This build is a 0 defense build.

So I'm assuming this build is suppose to literally melt like butter till you get to the point where you get ample LL and enough life to not get instagibbed?
Also if I suck at Phalanx aim is that pretty much mean most of the hard boi charms are out of my reach?
