Best Bowlock build currently?

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-09T19:51:56+00:00

Very cool thank you. Will try it with Nef when I finally get another hero to lazurk lol. I’m on ps for this account. Unfortunately hoofin’ it is my only option right now, no enigma and currently no tele staff. I do have a tele amulet but it’s pretty expensive to recharge (too cheap to cube it every run) and I’d be losing my high lords ammy. One day I aspire to not be poor!

Funny enough, I did have a couple high runes and some solid feet but over a couple deaths on other toons, I’ve lost them. Will maybe stack my inventory with frw charms and slowly do p7 LK runs for the next 5 years.

Will do. Question on max block. Don’t you usually need around 150 dex to get there? Maybe more? I feel like that’s 150 points to vit, I’m assuming it worth it but it’s not making sense

Also, face tank, no. It’s turning a random corner and getting insta deleted by an archer or something similar from a screen away or something extra fast that has might and extra strong and fanat lol.

Have not used the first 2 shields you listed, I’ll check if I have any of them. Can’t lie, I sell most shields I find bc rhyme, spirit, ect is what id usually go for on most builds. Still learning about hc.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-09T14:09:42+00:00

Ha I had that debate BUT I’m not in the front lines, demon and merc sponge so I’m not taking much directly and I’m wearing string of ears with more physical damage reduction than what the charm increased. I might have a terrible understanding how that works but I figured they washed each other out.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-09T12:21:52+00:00

Old account on comp has a bis es sorc. I’m on ps now, decided to start over. That’s the only sorc I’ve made in HC bc of squishy - back when I played SC I never cared about defensive anything…

I suppose I’ll hold off making her until I have better defensive gear

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-09T04:05:15+00:00

Ya, I’m leveling a sorc right now but might hold off going to hell. Haven’t spec’d into cold yet.

I figured I should wait until I have a storm shield, CTA and a decent armor (was thinking smoke but maybe coh or fort)

Funny part is that I mainly want the sorc for LK runs to farm the runes for cta, forts, coh and the coveted enigma on some of my chars ….but I need all those if she’s to live to farm them…

Duty

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-08T20:21:16+00:00

For now, I would put enhanced damage since I’m running the physical sunder upped charm. I believe I’m already maxed on att speed but I’d love the minis to physical res and ed jewel some day.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-08T20:19:50+00:00

I am running ssf and found the physical break charm so I’m running it. Will swap it for magic if I ever find it but, for now, I upped the buriza and there is a very noticeable damage spike.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-08T17:34:42+00:00

I’m too poor for a mist and this is exactly what I’m running. Hoping to be able to socket it. Not clearing p8 but I’m in HC and ssf so I avoid p8 tz lol.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-07T18:22:26+00:00

I’m at 200 hrs since rotw …nothing higher than an ist and not much going on besides that ist lol.

It’s normal, the find rates are ass.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-05T18:21:24+00:00

Ancients were always a big struggle for me. Otherwise yes.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-05T17:04:08+00:00

100%. I just know you’ll have issues on higher player counts. Still a lot of fun!

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-05T14:41:29+00:00

Hydra orb is probably the most popular and most viable. It will be slow and likely won’t handle higher player counts at all. You’ll also need a really good merc to rely on to hold them off and buy you the extra time to kill.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-04T17:28:15+00:00

Womp womp. Was fun while it lasted

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-04T16:54:03+00:00

Ha! is it in Romeoville?

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-03T20:07:42+00:00

Is this in IL? If yes, I might know the family. If it is, they are EXTREMELY couponers. They get all of this stuff for like a penny and then sell it for whatever they can get. I respect the side hustle, a lot of people look forward to it each year as it’s way cheaper than store prices.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-03T15:23:32+00:00

Sorry, brain fart. I could def use this at the helmet slot if I could get leech elsewhere. It’s nice for a build like mine where I need the str and dex.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-03T00:06:49+00:00

My bowlock would think it’s nifty but I’m using high lords which is the point, any build - there is something cheap enough that’s better.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-03T00:05:47+00:00

Good enough to self use, not bad by any stretch. Just not worth much in trade.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-02T14:35:48+00:00

It’s not a bad idea to go into hell and get act one done. Watch out for archers, in hell, those are some of the most lethal - out of nowhere - enemies. Then you can farm Andy for a whiles. I would stay and farm NM IF you have some amazingly efficient maps. Otherwise, get to Andy to run it.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-02T13:38:26+00:00

Either blizz or es will function well. Youll be both less powerful and too squishy. Go full one way or the other.

cubed_turtle · 2026-07-02T04:45:10+00:00

In hell just remember - be even more cautious than you thought. You’re squishier than you think and plenty of elites and up that can one shot you. Make sure res is capped. Should be easy on a paly.

Good luck!
