Bowazon damage

Iv got a question about charms for my amazon.
She's lev 90 and got the best gear u can have so we can skip the gear part.

Iv started to think about whats the best charms to have?
Psn charms and alot of em? Or max/mini Damage charms?
Or?

I got some psn charms if you wish to trade. LC with +175 psn damage.

But I don't like poison really much, I rather have some other elemental charms.

 

[Frozty]

175? isent 100 poison max? ir is it grandcharms?..Well Poison dam dose not always give the right dam.. If u mix diffrent psn charms dosent it effect the damage?

 

[soul killer]

451pd is the max dmg on any charm.
Psn charms are totally useless.
32020s are the way to go or lots of sexy AR/Life/Max Dmg GCs might even be better.

 

[Frozty]

So u think skip the psn charms and go for the damage charms with maximum etc? Sorry i dont get all diffrent forms of words in lod

 

[mephiztophelez]

imho: skip the poison charms go for a max/ar/<frw/life/dex/fhr> charmset.

oldpatch, duped to XxX 451 pdsc's for example:
37 x 451 = 16,687
pvp penalty = 2,781
75% res = 695
all this mighty damage being done over ~8'ish seconds and a requirement for you to do a trade-screen dance before exiting all games. not my cup of tea for certain.

i rekon there's more mileage in a max/etc charmset that adds itself to every shot that connects, rather than resetting the poison timer.

Not to mention that Bowazons work best with amp, in team duels. Amp doesnt help poison, low resist doesnt fit well with most teams, and physical does its damage on EVERY arrow hit.

Heh', that's why I use Lacerator on switch in pubs. Don't take my build and say it's yours.^_^.

Don't give out all the secrets haha. Not many people know about how things like that work.

I think poison and light damage on charms negate your deadly strike on progectiles~ arrows

I believe this is a rumor that has been taken care of a multitude of times on these forums...oO

Poison/Elemental charms do -not- negate any damage.

Why do you all say 3/20/5's, you mean 3/20/3's or 3/20/20's, you all know those are unperm. My charm set is consisted of, 5-6 3Fr/W Sc's, 2-3 Fr/W w/ 10-11 Lite res. About 15 11 Tri Res Small charms, 1 or 2 6/xx/5' LC's and the rest is room for more charms. ISO: 3/11's ;].

But really though, 3/20/20's are overrated. So are 3/20/5's. I own Unperm Zons.

 

[Rabbitz]

Erm, 3/20/20's arent.. overrated nor unperm.

 

[Sechler]

my zon is full of 3/15-20/3's traded for on here or in game and I have never permed my bowa and they're all still there after 4 mo's. And hand's down... max dmg over psn dmg. So funny when a zon brags up her 10k ga's...yet it's over a 20 second duration. Although, I will admit I carry 5 x frw/175 sc's in stash for es sorcies.

gah. another one....

quite. this is one of the most persistant and irritating b.net myths. it ranks up there with griffons/facets and traps.

i think it got started because someone realised that a successful Critical Strike roll had no effect whatsoever on their pdsc damage, only on the physical damage component of their attack. given that a pdsc bowazon is unlikely to be a glass-cannon max phys-damage build, the critical strike offered a much lower return on investment.

in this sense, yes, critical strike and pdsc's don't work together very well. but the use of an elemental damage source hardly "negates" ones critical strike.

the reciprocal here is: max damage charms. these do indeed, afaik, have their bonus boosted by a successful Critical Strike roll. a much more harmonious relationship between skills and equipment, no?

but to repeat: pdsc's do not "negate" ones critical strke, they merely fail to benefit from it.

as to the duped/perm/etc argument here. i think it's a lot easier to put together a respectable max/ar/XxX charmset that doesn't require a trade-screen-boogie than it is to get worthwhile PvP damage from pdsc's that are equally durable. i have some rather nice max charms i'v collected over time, they are far from perfect 3/20/20's, but it's mostly the +3 max that we really want. anything else is gravy.

3 max / 20 ar / 5 frw do exist.

 

[mephiztophelez]

3 max / 20 ar / 5 frw do exist.

yes, they are old-patch charms that can no longer spawn. they are also kind of screwed up, that "5%" frw is actually ~3.5% frw on those charms.

bah. no reason for me to be mean.

afaik, that was just a rumor and 5% frw from scs work to full efficiency.

and

iirc, it was more like 4% and not 3.5?

 

[MysticDragon]

I never said they could spawn.
