Once you get good enough you can beat most things consistently with most anything.

It is a virtually proven fact that a bower will never beat a Charge variant Auradin. :smiley:

Not quite, pure vita bowa with stacked res/sorb is possible. It's just really hard.

Auradins are easy if you have decent resists. Otherwise it's hard unless you're vita.
A bowazon should NEVER lose to a hammerdin.

Anything without max block and high DR%. These can include sorcs, necros, elemental druids, other zons. Pallys and barbs pretty much all will have max block and close to 50% DR, but the others are less likely.
So pick on casters that stay away from you and use the advantage of having homing missles.
If a hammerdin puts on a Grief, couldn't he just charge a Bowazon to death?
Auradins have nice charge damage, so you can do the same thing?

I've been wondering what bowazons can beat too.
It seems anytime one of them venture more than 5 feet away from the entrance, they get demolished.
Thats why 99% of bowzons are annoying idiots who town guard and try and snipe people as they go back to town.
Either that, or they get a hammerdin to spam for them and they stand on top of your corpse and nk you.
I'm still waiting to see a decent bowzon.

charge>bowazon as a hammmer can always strap on grief and charge it to death.
Any Char that lacks mobility, i.e tele will lose to a bowazon hence why fury druids or varients of these get ripped apart by bowazons, even a possible bvb due to many dont carry an enigma in the stash.
yeah a amazon with a hammer teamed, is veryt dangerous as you now have a high dmging bowazon at the same time u have a hammer that will tank for the bowazon so anyone comes in the range is likely to eat hammers.

a seriously tricked out and well played bowa'zon is a tough opponent for most. it's just that there are very few seriously tricked out 'zons around.
i've seen, err, three bowas on west ladder that fit this catagory. they all seem to have the following attributes: gg damage (obviously), stupid-insane amounts of FRW, a max/ar/<life-fhr-frw-dex> charmset, wartravs, knockback.
unfortunatly, a lot of pubs have no-idea how to build a 'zon (bow/life gc's?) and turn into townguarding nuisances coz they also can't play a zon.

heh, my old zon, west l, 7k/500life/kb/7fpa/1xxfrw/ss-etitan switch
a hybrid's a lot more effective than a pure bower yes.
but some things like 40% fcr bvcs, desynch smiters, ghosts, etc. etc. are just too hard.
Thats why my hybrid has 3.3k life, max dr, max block, max light and cold res. Plus when the chilling armor avtivates its VERY hard to kill a hybrid then. You have the d/a/e skills + chilling armor + max block + max dr and frw, that is one of the toughest chars to kill.

The 50 DR I'm guessing is on his Java switch. Which means low range, not damage.. Oh, and there's no max "frw" as far as I know.
