SSF Bowzon

Hi guys,

I am new in Median XL. I need some help

I am about to start crafting my first sacred bow. Anyway, my problem is that I am 114lvl, I do some dmg but I die with 1-2 shots

Any ideas what can improve my toughness? Also any help on how much points to drop on dex/str. I see a lot of people have 2000+ vitality but I have not stats in vit and they are 118 lvl. I have Jah runeword helm TU4 (MOed) + good honorific gloves/sash/boots, quiver 15ls%, TU4 bow + 2xripstars/scarab + quilted TU4 unique. All MOed. Any ideas what is the next step? I struggle a lot

PS Also, how can we kill Akarat? I always kill all the minions but I fail to kill him. Couldnt figure it out. Thanks

Dude, vitality you get from ultimate skill paragon - it gives vitality for each perfect gem you get into gear. Akarat is immune until his minion die near him, it makes him weak for a short time, then kill him with phalanx or else... Your toughness is your range, enemies should not touch you

its normal to be squishy as bowzon, especially so early game. its probably the least defensive character in the game. we make up for it with high dmg and high leech to keep us alive. that gets miles easier when youll get a good weapon craft and highly rolled charms.

for dex/str points allocation, this is in the guide:

if you need str to wear things in the future, rely on attribute charms. most sacred items only require 450-550 str to wear, that can easily be covered with charms in due time. never use a large amount of innate attribute points for str. if you find a cool item you cant wear yet, have it wait; youll most likely lose more dmg trying to wear it than the item itself will give you.

as for what your next step should be, always follow the milestone list

its completely foolproof and anyone (new or experiencedplayer) that follows it religiously will progress far. right now you are still in the early game stage, near the end. i invite you to go careful read and follow it ♥

Would an ele bowzon work in high labs?

I'm thinking abandoned crafted stag bow with life spark on striking,

no idea. i didnt delve into labs yet, much less ele builds. but i think ssu stag is mandatory, a craft isnt good enough. too low dmg.

not nearly enough sustain, regardless of your gear, plus lab has ele dmg penalties in upper yellows and reds.

your post mentions making a new Siegfried in a 4OS helm, how? I thought that the runes had to match the amount of sockets on the item to create a runeword

notbehaving wrote:your post mentions making a new Siegfried in a 4OS helm, how? I thought that the runes had to match the amount of sockets on the item to create a runeword

most runewords are only ONE rune. all other slots are to be filled with jewels. so for a 4 socket einherjar, you need to insert: jewel1 - jewel2 - jewel3 - Jah rune.

Thank you all very much guys for your help

I will keep playing and improve more
