I've been messing with a Bowazon, and it is one of my favorite characters. And the reason i wanna post my build is because i've not seen one build for my bowazon. This is my first post for a build so yea.
Reason: Of course I'm a strafer, IMO it's much better than Multi because you can actually shoot at multiple enemies, and when you fight bosses 10 arrows hit unlike multi. Penetrate, is a no brainer. Valkyrie is because she can do some insane tanking on almost anything (except lilith lmao, but we all know that). Most people don't use decoy and put them somewhere else. However Decoy is a miracle on herds of enemies, plus your valk can be a little bitch and walk away leaving you getting your ass ganged. Plus decoy helps alot during Nihlathak runs. Do whatever else you want in critical and evade, sometimes evade really is annoying because it sometimes stops you from strafing.
Stats
Str: As much for gear, I recommend about 110 or maybe 100
Dex: Load this, it ups your AR and your damage.
Vitality: anywhere from 100 - 200. Just depends on if you want alot or not. I have about 200 but 100 isnt bad either because with your valk and decoy you should mostly be out of damage range.
Energy: Duh, Leave base
Gear
Helm: Giant Skull (Bone Visage)
Armor: Fortitude (I chose a Superior Wire Fleece)
Bow: BotD
Bow Switch: Faith (or if you're cheap a Buriza-Do)
Amulet: Metalgrid
Gloves: Dracul's Grasp
Belt: Dungo's, Thundergods or Razortail
Boots: War Travelers or Gore Riders
Rings: Raven Frost
Reason: I chose a Giant Skull Bone Visage because of the nice defense and good stats, also the 2 sockets leave the rest of the stats all up to you. Id put at least one facet on there at least. So if you die (yes a die facet) you can blow away the enemies that surrounded you so now you can get your body back, and the absorb is good.
As for the Armor, the stats on this is awesome for you, I would recommend this over anything.
Now for the amulet, this is nice if you get a good one with high AR and the res helps alot.
Dracul's is amazing also, because if you're attacking IP (immune to physical) enemies then you can't leech life so the life tap is amazing, i've also made it through nihlathaks corpse explosion with this.
As for the belts i use a Razortail, but the piercing is eh because it's only a 33% so if u want to put 1 point into pierce to up it go for it. Dungo's i havent used but looks really good for a bowazon, and thundergods because of the absorb and everything. It's all one what you want.
War Travelers can up your damage alot with fortitude on, but gore riders are awesome also, with the crushing blow and everything, either or is what you want.
Of course Raven Frosts are no brainers, the AR is amazing.
Now for the Bows, most people recommend Faith or Windforce. They even downgrade a Botd, However after trying all 3 bows it is MUCH better. The damage is awesome, the poison nova is awesome, plus to AR, negative to target defense, and etc. Especially the plus to all stats, remember that dex? yea it ups that ALOT. As for your switch you can choose what you want, faith is a nice choice or a ballista because of the cold damage so when you get to the IP enemies.
I also recommend a Torch also, torches are nearly a must have because the firestorm goes off like crazy.
As for pluses to skills, you really don't need. But if you can get Plus to Passive and Magic skill GCs.
I believe that's it for my build, any Q's are welcome. ENJOY!:D
