Of course not, I was saying about Javazon. Unless you stack %bonus to def from MO/UMO like

, there is no way a glass cannon can clear high labs. Even so, its much better to play something like xbow necro instead. Bowzon is for farming non-lab rifts.

Captcha wrote:And MMzon... how does that compare to bowzon - is it more of a boss killer than farmer?

I would say MMzon is more like a jack of all trades: homing attack, high hp, def, some block and minions, good for both bossing and farming. Similar to many spell build, you need some good jewel and gear to boost magic missile damage. I do not want to compare builds but playing MMzon is indeed safer than Bowzon, considering Bowzon has negative def 99% of the time.

Are you talking about Wulf's guide? Its about bowzon in general, she is the kind of girlfriend who need to be fed and taken care of properly. As long as you have a good weapon (

Uldyssian kill with Magnetic Field.

I can handle low labs but my health is rather low, I'd have to give up on investing in dex for vit, even with a Golden Chariot shield. I have no way to cheese things and you can't summon edyrems at will anymore. I rely almost completely on pots, which are also nerfed. It's a very good boss killer outside of lab.

Nice showcase, is magnetic field your main skill for other areas also like Fauzt/Scosglen or would you use thundercrack for those areas?

I just respec to bow for farming :mrgreen: . You could farm with it but nothing compare to bow. It sucks in scosglen, fauzt is easy but slow.

Thanks, good to know. I might try blood then, I was looking at patch notes and it seemed to be about the same as last patch, just a buff to the passive Baccanalia.


I've been trying bow while levelling - did they change Wyrmshot? I'm sure it used to fire round corners but now it seems to need line of sight and for the mobs to be activated?


I was expecting a great boss gift suggestion.
