I haven`t played much PvP, only a little, and i found GA to be most effective. Strafe are most for those who run straight at you. It will put you into a temp lock, and when standing like that you are an easy target.

I`ve heard Multishot are most for taking away summons and reaching ppl that Tele a lot.

You are right Taurean thats how it is...

That's pretty much cut and dried on how a bowa works for pvp. There is more to it of course but the only bow skill your gonna want to max is GA. The others don't put more then 5-10 points into and let your gear raise the rest of.

And remember damage charms are your friend.

you probably played to aggressive and got right in their face. Stand away from them, and have a lot of life leach.

ya its probly the guide you followed, WallenBurg made an amazing guide for a pit running mf strafer which owned, and I hardly ever die, only like in hell soloing baal. WHICH you should never do on a mfer strafer lool. Also the best combo for bowazon pvp is MultiShot and GA

oh also I am not sure that WallenBurg did make the guide but if he did I hope he reposts it.

I actually just got finished making my PvP bowazon, she has maxes GA AND strafe, crazy huh?

I found that strafe is the best for taking out summon's if their close enough, and guided when they're off your screen.

But if your poor that might not work, considering I have a faith, fort, and gores, so I have a high amount damage. 2666 normal attacks, 2550 strafe, 3120 guided...if you cant afford a faith or a fort i'd imagine it would be different

Err, a 3k guided isn't 'large' damage...

[Dlav123]

well one point in strafe is enought 20 GA is very good because its the best u can be off the screen and kill so fast that they wont know what hit them also GA always hits so u can spam arrows and they will follow the target all multi arrows deserves about 10 points because u can shoot froma pretty for distance and has a huge range in the attack and when ur dueling meele chars like barbs you should spam a couple guided arrows and then strafe because the speed is unbeatible.

To max strafe is just plain stupid mate, it barely gives any more dmg and u just wasted 19 skills gz.

You should use strafe vs fast sorces, if you know how to use it right you will hit them when they are close and set them in FHR lock (many arrows = activate torch) torch fire = more FHR locking... basically you will have time to hit with 3 guided arrows while they are locked. Takes practise. Only 1 skill into strafe though!
