Are Bowazons Good anymore?

I used a bowazon in 1.09 but I have yet to make one in 1.10, I just recently read a Freezing Arrow/Strafeazon Pit Runner guide and it sounded good but i just want to know if anyone has tried this build in 1.10 and i want to know how effectively it can kill, maybe a good/bad list or something like that, btw the skill layout is: 20 Strafe, 20 Freezing Arrow, 20 cold arrow (synergy), 20 Valk, the rest spread in the passive and magic tree based on equipment choices and personal preferance if you have tried it out b4 please help me I dont want to waste time on a char that cant kill, Thanx.

Nah, sorry buddy.. i just wouldn't reccomend it.. if anything i'd go java

have you tried this build b4? I know Java is good but i have not tried it in 1.10 either, and with java its hard to kill light immunes, right?

Or you can try something new and unique

I know new and unique = fun, but i ned a pit runner so i can get good items to beat my big mouthed friends, besides I wanna find good items for a change and im just hoping someone has tried this build b4 and tell me if its any good, and if it isnt maybe they could post a better pit runner perhaps

Good pit runner is a hammerdin. He can kill everything, also with Nigma and mf find gear still does good damage.

Also a good bowazon could do 7k damage if you have the right amount of charms. With a chance to do double damage, however they are that great a build, anymore.

actually i beg to differ, my bowzon was leet she had Wf (40/15), 160/60ias, 120/45ias, dracs, gores, highlords, gay rings, and 6 175pdlg's 3 290's and some gay 50's, she had a base of 7k guided arrow and multi shot was nice with the knockback form wf so yes bowzons are good now as long as ur not fighting poison immunes as thats were a chunk of ur damage comes from

My zon uses the following (Shes lvl 82 atm)

160/60 ias wif 98 to life (all blue jewels )
120/45 ias (all blue jewels )
.08 um'd wf (for open wounds)
Crafted Gloves
Crafted Belt
Crafted Ring
Highlords/cats eye
raven frost
War travs

And has eth titans / ss on wep switch.

She uses 30 3/20/5% frw sc's, 8x 290's and an ANNI.

At lvl 82, she does 7,000 dmg, 5,000 of which is physical based. (approx). Shes got a high chance of crit strike as well.

Only people i have problems with is aa druids, certain necros, and palas who charge me. Other then that, shes FUN as hell to duel with, and fun. So yes, they are still good.

You know Schar would tear up your baby Bowzon.

They're fine for PvM until Hell, and then things get dicey unless you have the good gear to work with. If you are poor or do not trade a lot it can be a challenge to play with any degree of success in some parts of Hell. They are always a fun character to use and I find no problems doing Pit runs with mine. I would have to say they were more dominating in 09 than in 10, but that's the way the game goes. Today it is the age of the Pally and Necro, or at least it seems that way in all the public games I go to.

depends on j00 g34r...

hmmm mav/strafe zons can be decent pvm and pit runners. They tend not to have enough mf though

When you pit, you mainly look for items like runes or socketable goods, so you won't need that much MF anyways.

Use these:

Botd Crusader
Um'd Gaze
160/60 Wyrm or Dusk or ANY JEWELERS PLATE OF THE WHALE
SoulSpurs
Any +2 Ama skills with life+leech+Ias
2x C-grips or other rings
Highlords
3/20/20 DONT USE 290's

Try this..

or for the not so rich peeps

Um'd Wf
Um'd Gaze
Dracs
Highlords
Ravenfrosts
Travs
String or Nos
legit non psn charms for MAX damage

i find this to work descent.. my botd crusader+40/15'd gaze+160/60 +97 life wyrm+dracs+soulspurs+NoS+Highlords+2x BkRings+a few 32020's owned all of the pit..

skills:
Strafe -second
Guided -Last
Critical -First
Charged Strike 10 -third
Dodge 5 -4th
Avoid 5 -4th
Evaid 5 -4th
Valk rest..

About like 120 Strngth
120 dex
Rest vit no energy..


stats mite be wrong havnt seen her since i dismantled her..

oh yes..

use Titans+Ss on switch for those ones u cant kill with bow

Cruasder for the nova

if you're making a freezing arrow zon, i suggest you go with the mav'ina set, you'll need the +skills to do some decent damage.
