I gues max out multi shot, guided arrow, the all the dodging skills, critical strike and i think ull have a good pvm and pvp zon.

Maxing the dodges and crit strike are a waste, IMO. ~8-10 in dodges and ~3-5 in crit strike, and you would be fine.

To be honest, I haven't had a bowzon since the early days of 1.09...
They have added synergies to the elemental attacks on the bow now, they may be worthwhile to look at. We'll see what I can find. ^^

i havent seen many zons either thats why i wanna make one lol maybe it is just that they suck now. i think i might go for strafe it looks pretty cool from the few bowazons that i have seen using it they just shoot so dam fast.

If its PvM, do not even bother with any dodging skills, thats for PvP.. instead max out some synergies.

Also, dodge works on Lightning Enchanted bosses, so it IS actually useful in PvM, but it's not as utterly necessary.

I have a hard time with strafe since it tends to "lock" on some monsters while others attack my zon. For that reason, I do not use it. My 1.10 zon is left over from 1.09, and has the usual guided, multi, etc. Since I only PvM, tactics and gear are the big change for me in 1.10. I have had to raise my resistances up considerably and make better use of an Act 2 Merc and Valk. She still has problems with lightning monsters, and tight places are a bitch.

Tight places are a bitch for any caster. Nowhere to run and stuff.

I just redid my Multishot pit runner. So far she is doing very well. I designed the build around my BOTD crusader so I was sort of at a big disadvantage until I was lvl69 and could use the bow. I am currently at lvl77 and things are alot easier. I pretty much went full DEX with a few points in STR so I could get in decent range to wear my equipment. Still in act1 hell lvlin my merc so he can use his Doom Crypt axe. With all my equipment I have about 460 Dex... everyone seems to laugh when I tell them that, either that or their reply is "WTF???"

BOTD crusader ? The most important attribute was wasted.I wanna your guild arrow's damage.I think that it is bowzon's nightmare in 8pp hell games.

exactly I wanna your damage without poison damage charms. poison damage is just a digital fun.

i thought that locking on a monster would be good because at lvl 20 your arrows are doing 3/4 damage but there are 10 of them so i think that the damage would be good but i havent had the time to try it out yet.
