How do you only have 179 dex? Bowzon is almost all dex for damage and equipping a stronger bow.

What is your gear and skillplan?

well i put a couple points for gear requirements which is currently at 130 str, 179 dex, i could go back and reset it. not too sure if you can call my gear decent or trash since i havnt been playing median xl for that long. But from the sounds of it I should probably reset and pump more points into dex.

My point is, you should have many more stat points than that if you're at level 45. What is your gear? What items and what tier

I have epicenter boots, rainbow belt, rare gloves, locust hive quiver, jerhyn's tawiz amulet, rare helmet, flowerspring for bow and lumen arcana body armor, rings are 2 rares, but now that i actually look at it I dont really have that much added stats from gear, probably fucked something up since im still new to median XL.

Honorific boots for resist and whatever else you need.
MO resist on rings/amulet too.

Just check the docs for the strength/dexterity/level requirements for the gear. You should be able to wear about Tier 4 on all the uniques.
