Bowsins Work?

Is a bowsin (amasin) viable in duels. Yes they’ll beat some chars, but does a venomized widow pack much of a punch?
Here’s what I was thinking (which is nothing really new), run widow on main side and cta/ss on switch for kicks with roughly 5k traps. I know a cta pb is hardly a godly kick weapon, but it’s fast and serves the purpose of helping hit the 7/3 dtalon after dflight. Max block could be run with ss to help tank charges or tele/ww’s when on screen with barbs and pallies.
There’s a lot of bow hybrids out there that run claws or wiz/ss on switch, but why not just use a cta to get that extra 70-80% life. As you can prolly tell, I hate prebuffin.
Back to my original question tho, with practice, will one of these hang in there with the upper level exp duelers?

i think a stunlock bowasin would be viable - use fire traps and the occasional mb while spamming GA's

you may want to pump MB a bit so that your shadow does it for you, or use shadow warrior instead of master and have mb on right click so that the warrior uses it a lot.

then again, ive never tried it so dont take my word for it

the main downside is that you lack claw block, which is basically a sin's most useful skill IMO

Yes, surprisingly well, just using widow on my ww/trapper yields quite a few wins. Ow should still be implemented into your build and not just venom.

What screws it up is if your opponent has minions, which will protect them from most of your arrows hitting. Also chargers for obvious reasons ...
