someone stop me from doing this

i wanna make a phoenix 3 skill mat bow to use on my guided/multi zon which will pretty much free me of my requiremets for leach or much ias (my merc has faith) so i could use rends, fort, some helm (need advice here a godly rare or guilermes? or 3 soc ed+max jewel helm?), belt either nos coil or razortail, either 2x raven or raven+wisp, atmas scarab, gore riders.

i have a terrible dread that im gonna do this and it will suck, can anyone give me a good reason not to?

And why it would suck??? Free fire dmg, enough for ph immunes I gess... Bow ph dmg will be (90-100) - (211-238). With Fanaticism aura on at least lvl12, 1.25 ed from dext (class spec bow), ok base speed, Redemption makes it impossible to die... - it just must work.... What´s your problem? If your hobby is to solo DC in 8 players games you need a bigger rifle. If not - its enough.
Btw:
ed + max is still bugged afaik. I would go for Guillaume's Face, even if it´s overkill :D , Kira´s if you lack resists or Andy´s face if you need IAS (I don´t belive you do)

Rends? Have you ever made a zon before? ;)

1) Skip the rends and use Laying of Hands. (CB doesn't matter for ranged attacks and the ed isn't that great. Not to mention an insane str req. If someone makes a zon and they can wear Rends, I would highly recommend a rebuild. Dex > STR. Every point you put in DEX = 1% enhanced Damage.)
2) Use Travs instead of Gore-riders. You don't need the DS because you have crit strike and CB is nerf-ed to the point of being uselees on ranged attacks.
3) Forget Guilliame's Helm, use Dream or a Rare Circlet. See #2. Packing a bow with no Ias :eek: I would recommend a Mav's helm or Maybe even Andy's (fugly).
4) Make sure you spend some time with a wep speed calc before you make your Phoenix. I would suggest a 0 or -10 base speed bow. Slow zons are lame.

5) If you have the resources to make a Phoenix bow with a Faith merc behind it, make a Boning Strafer: Super entertaining to play and they're cheap compared to what you were going to do.
Brand Bow (I would recommend a mat/great/shadow bow)
Marrows
Fort
Faith Merc
Laying of Hands

BTW: Try running the Chaos sanc with this setup: +600% dmg to Demons: pwnd. :cool:
