Note that you find the updatet version of the guide here:
WIki (version 7.60d)
This version is for 7.59, but you still might find a lot of useful things here.
1. StatsStr: reqs, every point set in str is a point less in dex or vita ergo less damage/life. Maybe you get enough points with the equip. Otherwise I would suggest a few points at the beginning, maybe 60 to be able to use plated belts (4 rows).
Dex/Vita: every point in dex means more damage. But especially in hc I think stating life is the better way. According to nemesis Dex:Vita should be about 5:3 in sc and maybe 3:5 in hc.
Ene: A bowie should leech enough mana. So nothing/very few points here.
2. Skillspassive skills:Inner Sight: 1 point
Critical Strike: 30 points. The Skill reaches its maximum at slvl 84 with 82%. I think u should get a high enough chance with +skills. As bowie u have enough skillpoints. But wait until later to max the skill
Dodge: 0/1 point
*Slow Missiles: 1 point. useful, but 1 point is enough, a higher lvl only increases the length.
Avoid: 0/1 point
*Penetrate: 30 points. Higher chance to hit means more average damage. We should have enough points, and 95% chance to hit should be possible
Decoy: 1 point. With +skills the decoy should live long enough.
Evade: 0/1 point
*valkyrie: 0/1 point
*Pierce: 1-x points. To get 100% pierce u can use items.
*Some people do not like the evade skills, because the amazon performs a x frames evade animation and u can not do anything in this time. it might be better to get hit and have the chance to run away with enough fhr. If u do not skill the evade skills u can not skill valkyrie - if u need it.bow skillsMagic Arrow: 30 points. Effective against physical/eledam immunes.
Fire Arrow: 0 points. I use the cold tree, because immolation arrow causes too much lag.
Cold Arrow: 30 points. Synergy to Ice and Freezing arrow
Multiple Shot: 1 point. We should get slvl 23 (24 arrows) with +skills. A higher slvl means only more mana needed per attack but not more arrows.
Exploding Arrow: 0 points. analog to fire arrow
Ice Arrow: 1 point. More points only increase the cold length of the Freezing Arrow. Maybe set some points here if u have the points left.
Guided Arrow: 1-x points. For Bosskilling. Maybe max later( very late if nothing else is left :-) )
Strafe: 1 point. Ok - maybe good for scouting. You see whether there are monsters around. I do not recommend using this skill for killing.
Immolation arrow: 0 points
Freezing Arrow: 30 points. higher slvl = more damage.
3. EquipI need help here. But ok something i already know.
Rings + Amu: Diva Set
Armor: Tempered eth Dusk Shroud or Wire Fleece with nice @s. Maybe ressis, fhr, life. I would say some def can't be wrong. Rw Fortitude or coh in it. Fortitude means more damage, but coh has more ressis. Alternative is the new rw humility. A lot of life and def with the shouts + cbf
Bow: Physical tempered Geand Matronl Bow with rw Faith in it. The bow should have ed, ias and +ama/+bow skills on it. I think the ed on the equip or the aura is counted after the maxdam on the bow. So physical tempered should mean more damage - but you can help me there maybe.
Lowlvl: The Starter bow is quite bad (maybe if you socket it with some maxdam jewels or Pgs its ok). With lvl 24 you can were ragnarok sliver, or the runeword sting in a tempered rare bow. Anyway a tempered bow is the best thing for lowlvl
Belt: Tempered Belt (type does not really matter, take something with not too much str req and 4 rows) with rw blood in it. The Belt should have some ressis/fhr/life on it.
Bul Kathos Belt (2 skills, leech, ressi)
razortail (33% pierce) - razor is the only item where pierce does add, so 100% pierce easy possible with razor.
Helm: Circlet with +2 ama skills, ressis, leech etc. with rw blood in it.
Gloves: Tempered gloves for ias, travi gloves for leech, uber gloves for pierce (if u have them). Psycho gloves for more damage. By the way the whole psyhos set is quite good for lowlvl
Boots: Travi Boots, especially in combination with gloves effective.
Arrows:
Rare Arrows with ed/ar other nice stats.
The new golden arrows (barbed arrows/piercing arrows/arrows of slaying are not too bad, and it is not very difficult to find them. But I was told, that the chance to pierce does not add, so the pierce of the arrows is not that effective.
Inventory:
ar/maxdam charms
bow skillers with good @s. like life/ressis usw.
Ogre King's Bowl: unique sc with dualleech.
ressi charms.
4. MercenaryMight Mercenary for more (physical) damage should do the best. Maybe fana merc if u use something else than faith
Equip suggestion:
Gloves: travi
Boots: Travi/River Stalker
Rings/Amu: Diva
Weapon: Pride
Armor: Coh
Helm: Prowess in Battle/Bartucs Helm
Belt: Bul Kathos Belt/Blood.
Quite Short by now, but it should help players who want to start a bowazon. I'm looking forward to constructive criticism.
