I'm making a lvl 30 GA bowazon. So far, heres what I'm thinking.
13 GA-Max for lvl
9 Dodge-46%
3 (or less) Avoid-36%
1 slow missiles-Don't know if I need avoid with this.
11 Crit-58%

For gear...

49 max mask
Sanders boots
14 max twitch(lol) or 58 max goth?
Angelics or rare jewelry?-I know ar isn't important for GA.
Deaths sash
Death gloves or cleglaws? I really want kb and the slow is awesome.
Upped Rogue Bow- Should I use 15 max, nef, or shael?

I'm going for 8 fpa/75 ias. I couldnt hit 142 IAS without changing a lot.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Rogue Bow gives 50 ias. I only need 25 ias to hit 8 fpa.

Rogues bow has -10 base weapon speed (so you only need 15ias to hit the 75 bp i believe)

Does this set up look good? The slow on clegs would be helpful, but I'd sacrifice damage using twitch.

By using Cleg's gloves, you are opening yourself to being NK'ed and insulted constantly (and, the case could be made, deservedly so).

If you want Knockback and self-respect, craft a pair of Knockback gloves. I believe the formula is Ort + PSapph + Magic Jewel + Chain Gloves.

Another question, if I went with deaths glove for 30 ias, should I put nef in the bow for kb or put a 15 max for more damage? How important is kb?

KB is the difference between winning and losing. If you have a smiter or a hammerdin chasing you, that kb has to be getting through as often as possible.

I have an 18 bowazon, and I assure you the KB is essential. Most of the times I use a 75 maxed bow with crafted KB gloves, losing an IAS breakpoint.

When I'm in those situations where the IAS breakpoint is more useful than not, I switch to a 60 maxed Nef'd bow. Either way, you really need to have that KB. The goal of a bowazon is to seperate distance between you and your opponent, without knockback, that gets pretty hard to do.

Another suggestion is a rhyme shield with javelins on switch. You're really going to need to block sometimes, and having a shield comes in handy. Without it you're pretty much easy bait against chargers.

I guess on a level 30 I'd put a point in some form of lightning skill, I'd think it'd be just as important at that level as it would at level 18. You switch to javelins + rhyme shield, and if your javelins have knockback, and you using Lightning (which ALWAYS hits) then they will get knockbacked (which.. knockback isn't 100% of the time, but still)

Anyway, yeah. So my main point/suggestion is that you always want KB, and you want a shield + KB javs on the switch, and since your AR will probably stink, you'll want to transfer that KB using Lightning or whatever a level 30 would use.

If u shoot the person with an arrow, and then switch b4 the arrow hits, the crushing blow and open wounds still have a chance to work?

What would be better to use?

crafted kb gloves, 60 max armor and 15 max in bow at 9 fpa,
or crafted kb gloves,15 max twitch, and shael in bow at 8 fpa?
