Probably Bowzon. She can clear instances with less gear that the other trees might need.
Also - Rainbow Dmg. I like rainbows

tbh i wouldn't recommend bowzon...since he is new to the mod he won't know what kind of enemies are strong

bowzon is a complete glasscannon...he will end up one shotted most of the time

make javzon...but of course its up to you...

If you had some negative experience with a bowazon it does not mean the build is not suitable for beginners.

In many cases offence = best defence. Since javazon require SU's to reach full potential unlike bowazon which can succeed with a full set, guess which of these two is better if the guy has an empty stash?

Also javazon has to stand still for a second in order when she performs attacks, while bowazons can cast barrage and run in circles hiding behind minions. Also bowazons run unlike javazon which, when you don't have sufficient block and defence, has to take some damage. And if you forget to precast Moonbeam then with a javazon you gonna fail faster than with a bowazon.

If you're going to play a bowazon I recommend using Barrage/Phalanx combo rather than Wyrmshot for better survivability.

I'v started to play this mod with bowzon, meleenecro and treedru (but it was 1.F9 version...). Bowzon is really less survivable than other chars (except assassin XD )

Are you using D2SE? What version of Diablo core you have in main folder? Have you tried to reapply reg file from tsw section?

So, how does Klaatu +necrobot enhanced damage work?

Is that all damage dealt to Necrobots (WDM + elemental?) Otherwise, increasing physical damage on a PI monster seems rather pointless. Better to get a doom amulet to deal with them?

Also, the Pygmalion armor is severely underrated, def, dr and strong reanimates. (the dex hit is lame for my rat)

Enhanced damage always working on WDM only. I asked it before and it means that if necrobots will be cursed with amplified damage of any kind - they will recieve more physical damage.

Or you can have attacks with "%physical damage convert to magic/light/fire/cold damage" and they will also benefit from that
