Correct. Even with a bunch of life steal, high hp and capped phys resist you'll still get rekt. Bowa is a very squishy build and you will die plenty of times throughout your run.

Being shit at something is the first step toward being kinda decent at something :mrgreen:
I'll have videos soon about how to cast them correctly ♥

I saw a youtube video how a bowama cleared fauzenville in hardcore. Just serach for it. If i remember right he had only 1 point in ECSTATIC FRENZY (because he didnt used it) but max BALANCE rest was simlar to this build (in therms of skilling). But still very unsafe.

I do, even in Duncraig or even Tran Athulua, where especially there all the amazons does pure physicall damge, and my chance to be hit are 95% (withoute EF is 75-80% so whatever). Max HP, capped IAS and high %ll is what helps for your sustain.

It's normal to die a lot in the early-mid game. Bowzons get very strong with items and good charms. It's very bad in the beginning, but scales up really fast.

It doesnt matter, you have garbage defense anyway. Get more life leech (and/or damage) to stay alive.

Question..how do you typically kill bosses? I'm struggling with them big time. Also when you say to save AC for rings. Is that like a cube recipe? I can't find anything on the documentation. Anyways enjoying the build so far!

Distract bosses by summoning Fire elementals next to them. They also slow bosses with Defensive Harmony.
Then Phalanx, position yourself so that a lot of Zons hit the same target

Or if you are still early game (norm, nm, early hell) you can just keep bosses in place with Fire eles/merc and Trinity Arrow them to oblivion. Of course it's wise to learn the mechanic that tranvanhieu showed early on, it will be needed.
