But for what it's worth, you should skate through the normal playthrough without much issues. Don't worry so much about gear specifics, just look out for resistances and damage.
Understand that Bowzon is a glass cannon, kill or be killed kind of playstyle. Because you will have no defense with Ecstatic Frenzy, you need to focus on killing everything before it gets within melee range of you. Fortunately, Bowzon is pretty good at doing that.
Mana sustain will likely be your biggest struggle, but it can be mitigated by finding or orbing Mana leech on gear, and not over-using skills. There are a few rubewords and uniques that also give Mana after kill which is nice early on.
Good luck to you!

Nothing. Keep the imbue to create sacred rare items with an item lvl of 99 later on.
Why should I try to get a Reflex Bow? The ones I've gambled so far haven't been anything special, and the Stag Bow I gambled for is much better, IMO.
Reflex bow is a stronger base and once you get to crafting phase it will be the best option.
Before I tke on Andariel, is there anything I should know? Special drops?
Andariel is dead. On to Act 2.
► Show Spoiler
This Flamberge dropped in the sewers. 
Now you're in Act 2, suggest you get a new merc - either shapeshifter or Fighter Mage to tank for you.
Don't forget to take the equipment out of your act 1 merc before you buy a new one though, or it's gone.
Buy/gamble a "polearm" class weapon for the new merc.

I've got a bowazon and a lightning/cold sorceress on TSW. Help me choose a third character.
