Bowazon: what is BiS for gloves, belt

Physical MS/GA bowazon. What is best for gloves? Was thinking +20ias blood gloves, but I don’t need the LL or the CB, or, for that matter, the +2 bow skills, so there has to be something better. Also belt.

This might be helpful?

Yeah funny you linked that. I was there looking at it when I tabbed over to see your reply. Surprisingly glove options are terrible for this build. Belt options aren’t bad though. I have a nosferatu, but I think the razertail is best.

The glove slot is situational depending on where you’re farming, as long as it’s got 20% IAS:

  • Chaos and WSK: Laying of hands
  • Cows: rare gloves with +2 passives and dex, ideally with cold and lightning res
  • PvP: crafted gloves with life leech

The belt slot is dependent on your bow and what IAS breakpoints you need to hit. For example, if you use a faith grand matron bow, then you pretty much have to use Nosferatu’s coil.

If you’re farming WSK, make sure you can equip tgods vs souls.

Thanks for that. Currently farming cows, and would love to get rare gloves with those stats. I guess I’ll look around. Didn’t know you could get +2 to passives on gloves. I’ve only seen +2bow skills.

+bow skills is also nice on gloves. Getting that extra +2 to multishot for the cow level in particular can increase your damage output. +2 passives are great for increased crit chance, attack rating, etc if your multishot is already high enough level.

Yes, the problem with multishot is that once it’s at 24 arrows, adding more just increases the already high mana cost. Except for Penetrate, those passives are on diminishing returns, though + to passives is definitely better than + bow skills.
