Bowazon needs help killing bosses

[:1]I've built a physical damage bowazon using Faith, Fortitude, and Dream. I wanted to use Multi-Arrow instead of Strafe (I don't like the locking it does) and then Guided Arrow to kill bosses.

Multi-Arrow accomplishes what I want it to: to kill large mobs a screen away after several volleys.

Unfortunately, Guided Arrow is severely lacking as anti act boss skill. I just came back from a long hiatus and forget/didn't realize they "fixed" Guided Arrow + Pierce.

So now my issue is, what bowazon skill is best for killing bosses given my current gear loadout. Strafe? Immolation Arrow? Frozen Arrow?|||I'm not a bowa expert so I'm not sure how most do it, but I've always kept Kelpie on switch just to disable them, then my merc does most of the work with CB while I spam away with GA.

Reaper's/Guillaume's Face is probably the best combo for him.|||no choices actually: strafe + Crushing blow + AD +much ar:

faith

forti

gaint skull +2 ias/ed *** / guliame face

razortail

craft gloves ias +crusing blow

gore rider

atma's

ravenfrost + rare/craft leech ar+dmg rings

swap - deamon limb

merc with might aura|||Strafe + CB and Amplify Damage.|||What is the justification of strafe? No autohit, lower DPS than guided(effectively 7 fpa~ strafe vs 7 fpa guided unless using a wf&pride setup due to nextdelay), danger of lock.

Same thing with CB: gores and guillaumes give barely any if even negative difference over 45/120 and travs against bosses(with the exception of ball & ubers due to their far larger life) and are unoptimal against bowazons specialty, packs of regular creeps.|||watch my video here where I killed all ubers and what items I have, and all will be clear for you.|||Bowazons just aren't that great at killing bosses. You'll have to rely on your merc a lot. Give him some CB gear and possibly some slow gear as well. Not fast but it will get the job done.|||Argh! Baal is so annoying if your merc isn't equiped right. Baal and Baal Clone always chase you around instead. That would make the ancients annoying as well.|||Quote:

I used to aim my guided arrow at the end of the bridge, with Baal just off screen, so that I could hit him and not quite activate him. Once I got his attention, running and gunning when low on health/mana worked best. It would've been much easier, if I had a decent merc at the time.|||Quote:

I try that, but he ends up always cloning himself and that thing starts hovering towards you to no end in sight.
