SSF Bowzon v2.2

[berry117]

First and foremost, this guide draws most of if not all of its inspiration and information from Wulf's SSF Bowzon Guide
His Bowzon guide is one of if not the most thorough guide on the forums, it just has a bit of outdated information due to the passing of time.
I will be updating outdated information, while preserving the vast knowledge that hasn't changed. That being said, most of the time when "I" is being used read "wulf"
I am in no way trying to pass off anything in this guide, except very minimal adjustments and tweaks made to update outdated information as my own words or creation.


Feel free to contact me here, on Discord (dimes-.-) or drop by my Twitch where you can most likely find me playing bowzon for a few weeks at the start of every season.

Introduction
I decided to present a different type of guide. In a Solo Self-Found run, one cannot anticipate which items will be found. It's therefore important to plan for all eventualities and make do with what drops.

I will do three things in this guide:

• Provide a chronological progression milestone list to assure the smoothest progression throughout your journey.
  
• Present videos for each Uberquest, including the hardest ones.
• Lay out loads of gear suggestions that are upgrades to an easy-to-get basic item setup.


Why Bowzon?

• It's a very simple and easy-to-play build for newcomers.
• With a little bit of investment , Bowzons are one of the best farmers in the game.
• With recent additions such as Decoy, we are now rather decent at doing most encounters, we have a fairly easy time obtaining most charms.

ATTRIBUTES | SKILLS | BREAKPOINTS

Strength: (Sometime points here when necessary, early)
Dexterity: (ALL POINT INTO DEX)
Vitality:
Energy:

Note: With the strength requirements to wear Honorific items being much higher now, it is okay to put a little bit of attributes into strength early on, or simply use a lower tier of honorific belt until you reach the required strength

Bow Tree: Trinity Arrow (1) | Dragonlore (Max) | Wyrmshot (Max*)| Decoy (1-10)| Fire at Will (Max)| Keen Sight (Max)
Divine Tree: Wild and Free (1*) | Ecstatic Frenzy (Max) | Defensive Harmony (1) | Balance (1) | Fortitude (Max)
Reward Tree: Paragon (1*) | Spellbind (1) | War Spirit (1)
Mastery Tree: Specialization (Max)


Wyrmshot is for killing trash mobs and Trinity Arrow against tanky targets.

Note: *Be careful of maxing wyrmshot early, put points into it as you notice you're able to sustain the mana more and more, putting points into the Meditation early is okay. With these points allocated at 145, you will have 30 skill points remaining.
There are a few things you can do here with the remainder of the points.
You can choose to put more points into Paragon, Wild and Free, Endurance, Tenacity.
I personally choose to put 5-7 points into decoy for the cooldown and then I put the rest into Wild and Free

With the addition of the Maiden Bow a new mastercrafted item base, we have a new set of breakpoints, they are the first set of breakpoints in the list and we will need to reach 456 ias to reach 7fpa. The second set of breakpoints is for reflex bow.

Note: You may not have enough strength to put on T4 Honorific Gloves, and Belt. It is fine to either put some extra points into strength before obtaining charms to alleviate this pressure or to use a lower tier of honorific gloves/boots and lose out on some sockets early, generally once you get one piece of honorific gear on, and mo it correctly you will have enough strength to put the other two pieces on.
Note: Don't uptier your armor TU's, you'll switch to Honorifics at lvl 105. All is explained in the Milestones section.

Quick Tips
Before you start:

• If you are a new player, I highly recommend you follow the Milestone section to the letter. It's foolproof and specifically designed to take you by the hand and have you progress as far as possible. Diverge at your own risk.
  
  
• Pickup all uniques you find to disenchant. They're used to uptier/create uniques (lottery rolls), to shrine bless crafts, for jewelcrafting and opening high Lab portals.
  
  
• Use D2Stats for the drop notifier and stats reading. Here's a basic script you can edit to your liking: (simply copy/paste into program Notifier tab)
  
  ► Drop Notifier Higher Level Script

Playthrough tips:

• Pick up Bloodstone/Onyx/Amber/Turquoise gems in the early game for armor sockets, resists are very important.
  
• Limit attribute points spent into str. Stick with low requirement bases and maximize dex. As you reach midgame, you'll rely on str given from charms to equip sacred items.
  
• Always rerun ubers for high or perfect charm rolls. Newer players often omit doing this. These stats add up and make up a significant part of your dmg and survivability. Especially considering there are more than 40 uber charms.

Troubleshooting: (middle game)

• My dmg is low, why?
  
  • Did you MO all your item slots up to your level?
  • Do you have perfect amethysts on all your armor slots?
  • Do you have a crafted weapon with 200ed and 300max?
  • Did you consume 400 sigs?
  • Did you spend all your base attribute points in dex?
  • Do you proc on-kill Bloodlust with weapon swap?
  • Did you gather all uber charms up to your level?
  • Did you rerun ubers for high or perfect roll charms? ← Most people omit this; they shouldn't.
    If you answered yes to all, you simply need better gear. Check the Item Upgrades section and farm Duncraig.
• Why do you MO str in your build?
  
  A lot of good sacred items require above 550 str to wear. Str given from charms, MO's and gear are attribute points you save that go in dex. So in a way, 1 str = 1 dex (until you have enough str to equip everything).
• What do I MO my Starting/Entry level gear with?
  
  • Weapons: inti/aban bless+luck first → %ed to 196 → ewd → ds → max (In doubt, use a dmg calculator).
  • Armor: max → dex. Bless with aban.
  • Rings/Amulet/Quivers: Psn length reduction → +20 to life → rest open for when resists are needed.
• How much mf should I have?
  
  As a general rule, killspeed is always preferable to mf. 200-250mf is a great base amount to have, going above this is fine, but don't ever lose clear speed for mf.

• At lvl 110, do Tal Rasha, Death Projector, and Creature of Flame (rerun for 5%ls).
  
  • New Tal Rasha can be difficult, dodge the poison, stay mobile focus down adds first, then focus on boss.
  
  
• Enter Torajan Jungles and do Jitan → grab wp → Akarat.
  
  • When you get Jitan charm, you can swap your "tir" staff for T4

  , farm norm Nihl for AC's until you do.
  
  
• Progress to act 5 → kill Bul-Kathos
  
  
• If you aren't already, farm Torajan Jungles or cows for lvl 115.
  
  
• Grab all lvl 115 uber charms. Don't rerun for high rolls yet (inefficient). We will do so later.
  
  • Recommended order: K3K → Azmo → Library → BPR → BRC → CoV → Bartuc → Primus → TA → Invasion II.
  
  
• Farm TA, take this time to farm a Maiden bow in TA possibly even farm for a second one (note, just having a single maiden bow means you're unable to roll for a better one once you've obtained your first usable crafted maiden bow), while simultaneously farming the Trophy
  
  
• When bow is found, visit the Item Upgrades section (Main Weapon) for directions on what to do with it.

► Middle Game

• Once you are lvl 120 with a 200-300 crafted bow, farm Nihlathak in Hell for 400 Signets of Learning (~2-3 hours).
  
  • You'll also get a ridiculous amount of AC's here, meaning this is where you'll most likely get your 2x

    .
  • Alternatively, you can farm Torajan Jungles, but it will take you longer. You can also choose to ignore this step and eat sigs as you progress, but the following content will be significantly harder. Your call.
  
  
• Once you've eaten 400 sigs, rerun all lvl 115 charms for high/perfect rolls.
  
  • Library (10%aa) → BPR (60str+dex) → Bartuc (5%ls) → Primus (125%ar).
  
  
• Do the following ubers:
  
  • Recommended order: Judgment Day → Duncraig (2zon) → Kabraxis → Quov Tsin (35str+dex) → Baal → Xazax (2zon, 40psn res).
  
  
• Big checkpoint here. You are now an excellent farmer with 200 mf. Here are things I recommend doing:
  
  • Farm Teganze for a 40str+dex charm. Use the first 4 Earth runestones for
    Wind Runner

    
    

    Wind Runner
    Boots
    'SilElqSilGul'

    boots. These boots are fantastic, you will not replace these ever. Spending time in Teganze as a bowzon is effortless, save earth essences and runestones to make multiple pairs of Wind Runners for corrupting in later stages of progression
    
  • Farm Tran Athulua Priestesses for Askari Scrolls (Athulua charm), a 15%hp charm and the (5pr). If you've not already obtained this via farming for Maiden Bow.
    
  • Farm Triune for cycles, cycles are very valuable, and rolling a wormhole with combat speeds will help you very much in obtaining the 456 breakpoint for Maiden Bow, as well as the 172 FHR Breakpoint for hit recovery. Later on with very good gear and FHR Corruptions we can drop the combat speeds wormhole in favor of a dex or MF one. Consider stashing a bunch of Spirit Trance Herbs on the way for ring lotteries.
    
  • Rerun Kabraxis for a high max res roll charm poison resist can be ignored if you would like, also this trophy is very valuable now for us. Important charm for late game content.
    
  • Farm Duncraig for SU's. You can reach lvl 135 from just dunc runs. gives 10speeds.
    
  • Rerun Azmo for a lotteried quiver (50mf) combining the Azmo charm w/ unique quivers in cube. gives 150hp.
    
  • Note: your build isn't strong enough to farm Fauzt efficiently, you would get more uniques/min running Dunc. Fauzt comes later.
  
  
• Past lvl 125, grab Vizjun (50 str+dex) → Astrogha (400hp) charms, and Heroic Butcher/Death Projector/Infernal Machine.
  
  • Vizjun trophy here is also very valuable to us, put it on a near perfect or perfect roll str/dex charm
  • Heroic Butcher is gated behind finding an Urt Rune and being level 120
  • Heroic Death Projector is gated behind finding a Thal Rune and being level 121
  • Heroic Infernal Machine is gated behind finding a Xith Rune and being level 122
  • Both of these new Heroic bosses can be somewhat difficult, don't worry if you're unable to complete them yet
  • The ubers further down are harder and require decent items. Nothing too high tier, but better than Honorifics. You can visit the Item Upgrades section for suggestions.
  
  
• Up next: Belial (400hp) → Bremmtown (625hp) → Kingdom of Shadow (2zon).
  
  • Belial gives 20ewd, but don't bother if you find a high charm and 0 frags.
  • Kingdom of Shadow requires changing some gems.[/size]
    
  • Next in line: Yshari Sanctum (1sk, 15allres) → Uldyssian (2sk) → Toraja.
    
  • You have now gathered all the "easy" charms. Make sure all of them are highly rolled before moving on to the next step.

► Late Game

• The late game is about polishing your character and then grabbing the last few charms. Here's what you can do:
  
  • Farm more Dunc for item upgrades.
    
  • Rerun Kabraxis for a 3/3/3/x charm.
    
  • Return to Triune to get a better charm and for (sleep charm: 10%aa, 30dmg). I highly recommend a combat speeds charm early with enough to hit your IAS/FHR breakpoints. Fill remainder with str/dex.
    
  • Farm Fauzt Triune or Scos for level 140(check Fauzt Uberquest section for help).
    
  
  
• When you reach lvl 140, do the following in order:
  
  • MO all your gear to your lvl.
  • Go back to Triune and add more combat speed/str/dex cycles to your charm until it's lvl 140.
  • While farming Scosglen make sure to take a special interest in killing the Corrupted Druids, they have a chance to drop a Tenet Design, which when cubed with the corresponding items grant a completed Tenet.
    There are 6 Tenets, Vigor, Wisdom, Judgement, Conflict, Harmony & Restraint and they all drop from their corresponding druid counterparts.
    With these 6 completed Tenets you will then combine 4 hidden scrolls across Scosglen into the Dulra Aegis Design, and then each tenet with this design.
    This is a very powerful charm that with vanilla D2 gems allows you to alter the stats to your liking.
    Dúlra Aegis + specific Perfect Gem type → charm with bonus corresponding to that gem type

  )
  
  How to craft:
  After finding your first sacred Mastercrafted Maiden Bow, roll the with shrines until you find a craft with 165-200ed and 250-300dmg. It can be a mix of min and max dmg together, it makes no difference. These bows are typically called "200-300s" (for 200ed-300dmg). These affixes roll together once every ~30 full shrines, so expect to need several hundred rolls per bow. Ideally, you want to craft with Intimidating shrines, but realistically you should dump every single shrines (except aban) you find into a Maiden Bow. Keep spare bows for future shrines. Aban shrines are best used on armor pieces. The bow stats you're after are part of a common pool of affixes; the shrine bonuses are very minor. Here is a couple of examples of bad/decent/excellent bows rolls.
  
  Relevant affixes: 200ed, 320max, 120min, 15%ls, 30slow, 60mf, 15%dex, 60dex, on strike arrow/knife/time strike.
  Bow upgrades:
  
  1) Cube bow with Oil of Luck.
  2) Bless with: Abandonned if bow has 200ed, Intimidating if under 200ed.
  3) If bow still isn't at 200ed, MO 15ed until 196ed (continue at 195ed, stop at 196ed).
  4) MO 12ewd (5x).
  5) MO 1ds (5x).
  6) MO max dmg (rest).
  7) Put in 6x Perfect Skulls.
  
  You may also opt into the use of Unique Mystic Orbs if your bow is worthy

  Socketed (6)
  
  
  
  The thing about Valkyrie's Prime is that WDM procs, such as knife/arrow/javelin all have had their dmg buffed from 50% to 100% of WDM.
  This bow has a 35% chance to cast arrow on striking. This is massive.
  With the sheer amount of times Wyrmshot is hitting in dense areas this will be proccing constantly.
  That combined with other sources of WDM procs amounts to a massive amount of damage.
  They can proc themselves they can proc other WDM procs, etc.
  ITD is nice, but we're a dex character and chances are we're @ 95% chance to hit.
  Sometimes in areas such as Scosglen though our chance to hit is 90-93~ so this does have somewhat of an effect even if negligible.
  Maximum elemental resists are really good at higher end content, especially places like lab if that's your thing.
  Lastly you will be at 7 fpa with this bow no matter your IAS, your IAS could be -14 and you're still at 7 fpa

  (lotteried)
  
  BiS for farming when lotteried. The WPD proc works very well with leach, given wyrmshot wpd has been nerfed and converts 25% to random tri-ele dmg. A very generic TU whose sole purpose is to be used as cannon fodder for lottery rolls. It can be any unique quiver to be honest, the important part is the 50mf. It is where you will use all your AC's after Ripstars. This item has an enormous amount of space for UMO/Effigies. Upon successfull lottery you will use some sort of combination of UMO/Effigy on it.

  Excellent potential rolls. Cryo beam shoots a fast moving lazer that pierces and freezes enemies (cc proc). Sunstrike is a 0.85 wdm scaling skill that converts all dmg into fire (dmg proc). A good rare quiver can in some cases be better than a non full umo/effigy

  For SSF you're most likely not going to get 10 Elemental Ire, 2x Marksmans eyes and 2x Hand of Yaerius, WPD Procs have got a substantial buff a few seasons ago, 50%-100% WPD. These are very good, they help leach a lot, especially with the recent "changes" to Wyrmshot.

  Equip this setup as soon as you grab Jitan charm (before then, you need the "nef" staff for the teleport). If enemies die from bow skills while you have your Mace out, it will trigger the "on kill" proc and give you a bloodlust buff that is superior to your innate bloodlust, in the past it would give you a second bloodlust buff, but times change. Cast 2-3 Wyrmshots with bow out, and swap to your Mace as enemies start dying.

  Super common and strong defensive item. Keep picking them up until you find a 1% luckied. Keep in stash for when defense is needed.
  
  
• Abandonned Craft (sacred Einherjar)
  
  Relevant affixes: 50ias, 15%dex, 40aa, 60dex, 30max, +4zon, 5%ls.
  In theory, this piece sounds very worthy to craft since it can roll insane things, but %dex affix is very rare. Find a decent placeholder with ias, and move on to using aban shrines on gloves/belts/chest. Return to helm crafting when you have good gloves/belt/chest. If you can get your hands on a dex% and max dmg roll, it will be similar to Asgard and Rygnar in terms of dmg.

• Abandonned Craft (Quilted Armor)
  
  Relevant affixes: 15%aa, 60aa, 15%dex, 60dex, 40fhr, 500hp, +2sk, 60mf.
  I suggest saving your aban shrines for other pieces first (craft chest once you already have decent gloves/belt and an okay helm). Contrary to zon helms, %dex and %aa rolls are very common on body armors. Early, settle for something that rolled %dex and mf (2 affixes), and swap armor to a better roll with %dex, dex and mf (3 affixes). Keep in mind that the aban shrine bonus on body armors rolls up to 12% dex, not 8% like other armor pieces. You can go up to 39%dex with affix+aban+bless. Such a craft with high dex will last you a while.

This item has changed a bit but is more or less similar to what it was previously. At certain points in bowzon progression, I feel that this item is better than Strength Beyond Strength. It is a lighter armor, you move faster. If everything in the area you are farming is instantly dead wearing this or Strength Beyond Strength I feel it's obvious that this is the better option.

  10ds, 63dmg and 25%ls. Very good armor, if not the best. This armor is heavy and makes you noticeably slower than using Auriel's Robe or The War Cloak. In the past bowzon has had to suck every bit of raw power and strength out of every available source, the last few seasons though I have been running strictly Auriel's Robe. Robe is less damage, but at certain points of progression I feel it is better to sacrifice some of the damage this piece provides for faster movement.

GLOVES

• Abandonned Craft (Leather Gloves)
  
  Relevant affixes: 25ias, 25min, 30max, 30dex, 40aa, 5%ls, 2zon, 20fcr, ctc burning veil.
  Burning Veil is a large fire wall that gives you 89ewd for 60 secs when you pass through it. Try to find a pair with ias and 2 other relevant affix. Otherwise, I doubt it's worth replacing the Honorific. Aban crafted gloves can potentially be BiS if you roll 3-4 good affixes and high %dex on the aban rolls, but it would require a lot of shrines. Hammerfists are very hard to beat in terms of dmg and are very common. When Hammerfist drops, forget crafting gloves and switch to using most of your aban shrines to some other slot that needs upgrading.

  You lose 4 perf amethysts. 75% ias, +10 damage, 10-40 aa, 10%str, 10% dex, +1max cold resist. So back to the part about farming high/perfect roll %aa and flat attribute charms. It's a reoccurring theme here that we want to squeeze stats out from any available source, we're a physical damaging build that gains massive benefits from every extra attribute point we're able to acquire. That being said, all that dex now gives us 1% EWD per 50. This is great, especially with all the farming we've been doing in terms of obtaining those charms. The ias on these gloves is really high too, and if you're using a Maiden Bow (456 required IAS for 7fpa) it's giving us even more damage. Crafting these and hitting a low roll to all attributes kind of hurts, but it isn't the end of the world. Craft these in 4os/1pr base determined by your available strength. Jewelcraft a max damage jewel w/ %2 dex, and FHR on it to alleviate pressure on the 172 breakpoint

  BiS for bossing. 30%ias, 15% Str/Dex, 5% avoid. The allure of these gloves is that they have Rapid Wyrmshot, while not completely superior to trinity shot in my opinion, much more reliable. You will have to adjust other pieces of your gear to counteract the massive mana cost of firing Rapid Wyrmshot.

BELT

• Abandonned Craft (Sash)
  
  Relevant affixes: 40fhr, 5%ls, 40aa, 30dex.
  Nothing really exciting here, but it will still beat all other belts beside SSU's in terms of dmg. I would settle on one that rolls at least 14%dex and 50 dex on base roll (bless included). Such a belt is very easy to roll. That said, it's worth it to spend a bunch of aban shrines here for a better roll, because the only better dmg belt is Black Void. All others are either for speeds or tankiness.

Aside from the relics listed above, any relics with x-x damage are nice.
Generally speaking for farming you want Wyrmshot Relic 100%.
The rest are more or less situational/personal preference.
I usually grab Pounce relic if I can early for FHR and small Bloodlust bonus.
Barrage relic is also nice for pierce and trie ele.
MotW or the other buff relics are nice.
I also like messing around with Stormcrows and Phalanx, even though they're probably less effective than other options.

Nice guide!

Three things:

1) awesome tribute to Wullfs guide

2) I think it is worth to mention that it might be better to level as a hammerzon & respec at lvl 40 and then rock&roll with TU2 Reflex Bow (speeds up act1-4 significantly)

3) WE NEED THAT LOOTFILTER!!!

ty, I will consider mentioning the hammerzon part, I've always leveled as bow from 1, the suffering builds character

[Tnt1094]

could you add ahriman belt(rw) one of the best belts for this build, and Knight's Grace boots(-20 req mo), I play with these and they are much stronger than runners, phys res, proc on strike, and even in general they keep up with damage due to 20%dex for amethyst

[astroasko]

Magic, thank you .

See, there was a need for new bow guide

Suggestion: maybe call this guide phys bow ama, as there's a whole different build with tri-ele dmg.

[shnurr214]

really nice guide man

[ralle21]
