Cold Resist +(81 to 100)%

a bait in your opinion? Is mastercrafted bow this better than above-average roll of ice breaker? And is additional 150 ias required to cap IAS worth this much?


As far as I know the only two good end options for bowa are Maiden and Athuluhas wrath. Icebreaker and windforce are funny for their procs and usable but not amazing. Askarbydd and the set are pretty nice midgame, but in any cases it's better and easier to focus your time on crafting a maiden bow from the start than anything else.


Valkyrie's Prime is by far the best bow for Bowzon.


Oh right I called it Athulua's Wrath because of the proc, forgetting the bow name lmao

But yeah that's easy to imagine, especially if it rolls mr. I didn't test it though.

Haha oh right the proc on death!

It can get +2% mr which makes it a really good choice for labbing but hard to roll a good one.

Which character is (in your opinion) best Scosglen farmer, especially in killing corrupted bosses? I'm playing bowazon on Single Player and have pretty much endgame gear, but she sucks at killing bosses (except Naturist) in Scosglen - any ideas?

I found UHM to be utterly pathetic. Horrible damage, worse survivability than a melee sorc or bowa despite being a Vitality build, and 4 buffs that need constant refreshing for basic functionality and survival.

Why’s it rated so high?

Good question, I also want to know why.

Even my holy melee pal or unholy caster pal is faster in levelling than UHM before lvl 120, SSF. Not to say melee sorc or bowa.

How do you justify these changes? I don't see what makes these 2 builds better in the patch notes.
I've never played Neutral pally... but if really got buffed, it's something I'd try... but I'm not seeing how it got buffed.

It's for SSF - the class set dungeon reward is the summoner set for Necros and neutral set for Paladins
