With the changes to the physical Bowazon, we're hoping to slap on a M'avina's Battle Hymn set with a lot of max damage charms would do just fine, we're very wrong. But when we respecced over to Freezing Arrow, our experience turned around a full 360. This build does so amazingly well in the new Area level 85 farming zones, Chaos, Travincal, Cows, as well as D2R items and many more on a super budget. We bought the M'av set for a handful of PGems on Utplay, and we've never been happier to be pleasantly surprised by a build's damage output. If you're struggling with the Bowazon, consider giving this a shot!

The Farming Spots
Let's talk about farming spots, in this beautiful shining goddess absolutely obliterates nightmare and cows if you go well, everything should obliterate, on top of that, she gets to farm one of the best new area levels 85 areas, and that's the arachnid layer while we are testing the arachnid layer was constantly spawning with anywhere between four to six elite packs, and then on top of that, there are two reasons why she excels here, one, no cold immunes, it's right off of the waypoint and you're able to move through it with your massive mobility, and two most of the monsters here either are the drop bats which literally don't engage you maggots which try to stay clumped up together and keep a distance from you, spiders can definitely run towards you, but after taking a bit of damage begin to run away, and then clump in a corner all of these monsters together, each arrow that you shoot is going to explode a ton of times per shot, drastically increasing your overall dps, and then on top of that, when you do have maggots that spawn young each one of their young will cause an explosion if the arrow passes through them as well, you get a nice golden chest.
Move on to your next farming area, another great place, and we think we're the only person advocating for this one right now is going from the inner cloister waypoint into the cathedral, not only in the waypoint courtyard are you typically going to get one to two boss packs, but the next area also is full of tainted fallen shaman ghosts and has the super unique killing of all the monsters, here is very easy, since there tends to be a lot of density and then while bone ash is actually immune to cold, he's a relative pushover, and you can gun him down either just leaving on freezing arrow if you're super lazy or swapping over to normal attack, so you get that magic arrow to proc from your M'avina's Bow.
