[aahz]

4:20 according to milestones stats

Yeah bowa is very solid, I did all Ubers up to 130 ssf so far. It starts struggling in Scosglen with no gear though. I mean I can clear it and even kill druids, but its pretty slow.

haha
I counted real time, I guess in game only removed like 8 min. S&E time loss is real

I'd argue against phys bowzon being tier 1.

While it's true that when properly geared she's one of the (if not THE) fastest farmers, the gear needed is by no means "SSF friendly". Even farming Duncraig at any reasonable speed requires you at least have an above average crafted bow, and true speed is only acquired when you craft a decently rolled

. Even with the new Maiden Bow, getting one to drop requires quite a lot of farming on TA, as the drop rate for it is abysmal. Meanwhile other t1 starters can literally farm dunc in TUs

I might add that I absolutely do not know of a faster 1-120 than bowa. And it's not even close, other fast classes are pretty close to each others but bowa just owns all. I did 4h30 to 120 at season start without anyway training, my reaction ---> lmao

Yes the mastercraft bow drop chance is low, I dropped mine at level 127 -and I did ta since 116-, but even doing that it's leveling faster than others classes lol. Also you can just craft a reflex bow to do 120s if you're in a rush for some reason, while waiting for the for the bow to drop. But in any case the build can chill in ta until the first bow drop, then clear every <=130 ubers for free after getting the craft without ANY other investement. So yes, it is ssf friendly. Icebreaker is the biggest bait of the year and is irrelevant now.

guess I'm not good at it :/. Had a way, way faster and easier time with melee sorc and uhm
