Re: Huge list of character guides

Bowsin - AKA Bleach blonde (PVP)

This is an amazon in disguise. She will be nailing her opponents with arrows like crazy, and honostly, the reaction is priceless with it. This is a poison build, so expect everyone to cry about BM.

Stats:
Str - 167 str after all your gear is counted for to wear shadow dancers
Dex - 149 after gear stats for widowmaker
Life - everything else
Ene - none

Skills:
20 - Venom
20 - mind blast
20 - Shadow master
10 - Burst of Speed
1 - Lightning Sentry

extra stats should be spent in either lightning traps (great to give you some defense an actual zon lacks when someone gets in close, especially since the psn damage will drop them to 1life fairly fast, these could save your butt in a tight situation) or else max out burst of speed honostly you should be able to do both. I maxed out burst of speed and still had some traps (granted, they were not doing much damage)


Weapons:

Helm: either a 2x 5/5 psn facet COA, or 5/5psn facet Shako, or a rare helm if you have one (duh)

Armor: Bramble runeword. We want the +psn damage

Belt: Dungos

Gloves: Trangs (set item) we want the +psn damage

Boots: Shadow Dancers, we want the +2 shadow (this means more psn damage for us)

Amulet: maras will work, but if you have a nice rare with +2 skills and some gg res and +str, go for it.

Ring1: SOJ/BK (see how you play, if you dont need the mana, go with the BK)

Ring2: SOJ/BK (see how you play, if you dont need the mana, go with the BK)

Weapon1A: Widowmaker (200ED and +5 GA), with 5/5 psn facet
Weapon2A: Arrows (duh)
Weapon1B: CTA (max BO)
Weapon2B: Sigons (Shael)

Buffer items:
+3 shadow claws, we want to try and get them with +3 venom as well, or possibly light centry. socket with psn facets.

Inventory:
-perfect torch (YOU MUST HAVE 20 RES, YOUR RES IS LOW IN THIS BUILD)
-Perfect anni (again, you want to get max)
-9x Shadow GC's, FHR or +life or +res is great as well for bonus stats
-10x psn charms, or 32020 matches. if you cant get those, use FHR, Life, orRes sc's
NOTE: If you want to be even more psn, you can replace the 9x shadow charms for a crapload of psn smallcharms, its up to you and what you can afford.


Strats: the basic idea is the same, but depending on how you spend your stats changes a factor or two. For the most part, go out, bring out your shadow master, BO and prebuff, once that is done go out and play just like a zon, however when someone gets close, throw some traps out. When people see traps, they naturally try to avoid them, which will help you line your target up for the kill. Your doing some painful psn damage, and will be eating them away after only a couple arrows, most of the time they will try to run off, which is where you want to cut them off by chasing them down and throwing some traps there way. Sometimes i use to take out 2x gc's/6x psn charms (i would switch my inventory all the time) and put an enigma in there just so when they would run off you could teleport after them and finish 'em off with a trap.

when/if they run becase of your psn arrows: lay down some traps infront of them/around them to guide them back to you IF they are within reach of you being able to use the traps. If the traps kill them awesome, if not, finish 'em off with some arrows. Now if you cant reach them w/ traps, instead go towards town some (or whever you think they will be going) throw some traps there, and keep on point. They will show up soon, blast them like crazy with arrows. they should be at 1hp from the psn you gave them, and will drop from a single touch.

You can also use your mindblast, remember, it has a namelock just like your arrows, and can hurt them.

When an enemy comes in close, fire a few arrows and start mindblasting them, this will stop there assault and at the same time, the psn will be eating them away, ive gotten a ton of kills from this, it works great.

really the only reason your going to have to be worried is if you run into someone with HUGE psn res, but psn is something not many count when building, normally people aim for Fire, Cold, Lightning, and then finally (if even) psn res.
