The multi-shot bowazon is probably the most relaxing build to clear the chaos sanctuary. Pretty weak for SSF but I made one for ladder one time when I found a Windforce on another account and she probably became my favourite account probably because of how chill it is to do chaos sanctuary and similar areas.
I know it's an old video, but I just love how much old school or old school inspired music you have on your videos. It throws me back just like playing D2 does.
I just had a lot of time this past week. I'll be on holiday for most of the rest of the month and switching to a new job so I'll be very busy for a while and it'll slow down a bit
First the Blizz Sorc now the Bowazon. I found a Windforce yesterday and was thinking since to make one. You happen to just get the right Characters for me in the right time :D
It’s my fav build for SSF. Though you have to be lucky with the bow to get through hell. I managed with a high ED magic bow with shael. You can kill things off the screen with strafe and decoy combo. Just decoy at the edge of the screen to attract then spam strafe. Also knock back is very useful. Can get it from crafted gloves. Though I wouldn’t recommend HC with this build as it dies too fast and sometimes without a chance eg those spirits that Baal or Mephisto spawn randomly.
The appreciation for mega man x music signals a man of culture! I am currently playing a hunter summon druid (summons plus using a bow) and it is great fun. Players 8 all the time.
Years ago I ran some ssf hc. Slow missiles was a friend. 👍 Great run on that HC GC ZON! They always drink that blue stuff 😆 that early run 🏹 had a broken string. 🎯
Yeah, back in my day, pre-D2R, the no life Amazon was kinda meta. Lionheart is a good cheap armor to compensate a bit, or CoH for the rich folks. For physical immunes, Atmas amu is a nice pick if you get enough ias elsewhere. Also even the lvl 1 Magic Arrow somewhat gets the job done.
You can just drink tons of mana pots. But getting even a little bit of mana steal is a huge quality of life upgrade. You can shop for mana after each kill on gear or socket gear with tir runes, but it's not as consistent. In nightmare you or your merc can wear an Insight runeword
Physical bowazon (with some 1 point wonders in the cold skills) is fantastic if you already have near-best-in-slot items at every level, otherwise it sucks. I prefer using strafe + guided arrow combo. Max all synergies. 1 point cold skills. 1 point passives. Then spare points go into crit strike, penetrate, pierce, etc.
@@thenuclearrabbit back in the day. No guide, just exploring what weapon is a counter to what boss and which stage to go first. The enjoyment of self discovering is gone. These days is all guide and hardly need to think on our own. I miss discovering eastern egg by our determination. Lol
The music is in order of the boss weaknesses. I just have that order commited to my memory since 1995 and doing anything else feels wrong. So yeah definitely know what you mean haha
Definitely a pretty good build, once you get that insight bow you're just off to the races! But for me it was too convenient, it was too easy to play for how well it cleared and so I ended up parking mine in act 3 hell out of boredom. Fun SSF project though.
Interesting build, but if I ever tried to go into Hell with less than 500 hit points, I'd get 1-shotted the minute I ventured out into the Cold Plains.
Nightmare isn't ng+. Ng+ is using the shared stash. It's a bit weird but it seems to be what the general community settled on as its the same consensus as in a lot of games
@@absalomvane7776 Oh I hadn't even thought of that. I just don't want to alienate 60% of my audience by using a term we used 20 years ago. Every single game calls it NG+ these days. So I'm not going to fight it. Almost all the terminology we used back in the day is gone now. It is what it is I suppose
Hi, really like your series starting from scratch. But i have to say, the attempts with melee chars are just painful to watch because they are so reliant on good gear. Anyways, GG. May i request a Necro Teeth/Bone Spear run?
I believe I did a no-vita sorc attempt, but didn't clear it. I recently did a no-vitality barb (second to last video currently). I also want to do this run again but without the shared stash to see how well it goes. I do think all classes are viable for no-vita runs.
Been playing bowa for years. With maxed out valk, she's incredibly safe and a lot of fun. Don't forget your harmony bow as well cheap and damn good in a 4os Gothic bow or Hydra bow if you can find one
Yeah res are the most important thing in the entire game. Max resists give you 75%, damage reduced to all the elements. Skills grant a lot as well but it will never be that good
Just my personal opinion, game isn't very difficult if you use a shared stash and give yourself gear. Ravenclaw, Deaths and Angelic's would make the game almost boring in normal. Not even sure how it is much of a challenge. Why not make it a full challenge see what you can do with no gear and no vitality. That is the more fun thing to watch.
Yeah I get that. But when I started I didn't know how hard no vitality would be. If I had known it would be this doable I would have just gone no shared stash. I do want to do that run as well at some point, seems fun
Hardest video to watch so far. Clicking through everything so fast, next to no gear recaps. What’s the point of the shared stash if you don’t mention any of the items you’re using to showcase them
It's cool. I like getting feedback when I'm trying stuff with the style/pacing of the video. The numbers won't lie anyway but direct feedback when said in a constructive manner is never a problem :)
@@thenuclearrabbit sorry, didn’t want to be negative, I normally love your videos! There was a lot of random zoom ins and outs that cut things off, and extremely fast scrolling through things that just made this one hard. Showing stats, skills, items, etc, at that speed would require pausing and playing every second to absorb

Multishot is so much fun for sure. I want to do something with my windforce as well, just need to figure out what.
I know it's an old video, but I just love how much old school or old school inspired music you have on your videos. It throws me back just like playing D2 does.
I'm glad you like it. It's mostly just music from games I like.
Underrated Chanel ngl
Liked my own comment
Thank you
Nice
Great work! Oh the nostalgia when you equipped that eagle horn.
Thank you. Yeah I love the oldskool items. Brings me back
love that you showed us your arrows in the gear overview lol
Without arrows the build wouldn't work. Gotta appreciate the little things :)
Another run ! You're giving us so much those days thanks ! Each video is a pleasure. Bowazon is god damn difficult..
I just had a lot of time this past week. I'll be on holiday for most of the rest of the month and switching to a new job so I'll be very busy for a while and it'll slow down a bit
Masterfully done, Hero!
Thank you :)
I absolutely love your background, music. Rock man X! We definitely grew up in the best gaming era! The 90s and 2000s
Thank you! We absolutely did
First the Blizz Sorc now the Bowazon. I found a Windforce yesterday and was thinking since to make one. You happen to just get the right Characters for me in the right time :D
I found my windforce after doing my bowazon run. So now I have to do another one just to use my windforce at some point. Nice coincidence haha.
Don't know if the best part of the run is the nostalgic eagle horn, or the epic megaman x background music. Great run!
It's both! Thank you! If I remember correctly the music is also in the order your suppossed to beat the bosses haha

Yeah I've been wanting to do a ssf version since I saw how well the ng+ version did. It was really fun
Thx for the tips!
2:23 this is the old Megaman music yeah?
Yeah it's all megaman x music.
I like angelic on a budget physical bowazon. Really budget physical characters in general.
Oh yeah Angelic's is fantastic
If you take challenges still can you do a Charge paladin w/ Smite and only use the Act 3 merc
Sure, added it to the list. I still wanna retry your spearazon at some point again. Just so many runs so little time ya know.
The megaman music fits perfectly
It always does. It's so good
The appreciation for mega man x music signals a man of culture! I am currently playing a hunter summon druid (summons plus using a bow) and it is great fun. Players 8 all the time.
It's one of my all-time favorite games. I want to do a video on it at some point, just need to figure out what I want it to be like
@@thenuclearrabbit As a budget setup I am thinking harmony bow on myself and barbarian merc with hustle and lawbringer.
Oh that would definitely work. My main problem was the physical immunes but the lawbringer easily takes care of that
You did really well with those ancients, my sorceress is getting killed single hit from flying axes, so frustrating.
Yeah I needed them to target my merc and my valk. Otherwise this wasn't happening. RIP sorc :(
the specters vs the lawbring were like .. Heeey macarena :))
Haha yeah
Years ago I ran some ssf hc. Slow missiles was a friend. 👍 Great run on that HC GC ZON! They always drink that blue stuff 😆 that early run 🏹 had a broken string. 🎯
Thank you! Oh man I missed the broken string joke. Well done!
11:38 that cloud is aesthetic asf. They should make Diablo 2 in a Dark souls style third person free cam
And vice-versa as well. I would play both so much
Yeah, back in my day, pre-D2R, the no life Amazon was kinda meta.
Lionheart is a good cheap armor to compensate a bit, or CoH for the rich folks.
For physical immunes, Atmas amu is a nice pick if you get enough ias elsewhere.
Also even the lvl 1 Magic Arrow somewhat gets the job done.
did you do nelithok lol
Absolutely not lol. Fuck that haha
Love your content more than i love your very very special bow 0:55 😂😂😂😂
Haha thank you.
Is mana steal that crucial? Im struggling to find gear for mana steal and it really affects my progress even on early
You can just drink tons of mana pots. But getting even a little bit of mana steal is a huge quality of life upgrade. You can shop for mana after each kill on gear or socket gear with tir runes, but it's not as consistent. In nightmare you or your merc can wear an Insight runeword
you should make a Duress with the um rune
i have a glass cannon strafezon. crushing blow does a ton of damage.
Oh yeah that would have been good for sure

I prefer using strafe + guided arrow combo. Max all synergies. 1 point cold skills. 1 point passives. Then spare points go into crit strike, penetrate, pierce, etc.
Yeah it's a challenging run. I never really got into strafe. Going phys/cold is better but I wanted to do pure physical :)
The best background music! Rockman X! NINTENDO
I've been replaying it. Love that game. Should do a video on it at some point

That's what I thought would happen to me as well

Nightmare isn't ng+. Ng+ is using the shared stash. It's a bit weird but it seems to be what the general community settled on as its the same consensus as in a lot of games
@@thenuclearrabbit We used to call that "twinking", but I suppose that has a certain connotation these days.

This video made me laugh this morning 😂
Glad you liked it!
Ive got a base 20 vit lvl 91 amazone ... just enough for str .. all in dex ... old style build
Oh yeah that is exactly what this is as well. So fun!
Nice one bro, i started a martial arts assn solo self found offline players 5 :D
Thank you. Good luck!
I don't understand why you didn't use more defensive gear. No life helmet. No life armor. No life rings, amulet. Why?
Cause I didn't need to
Hi, really like your series starting from scratch. But i have to say, the attempts with melee chars are just painful to watch because they are so reliant on good gear. Anyways, GG. May i request a Necro Teeth/Bone Spear run?
Thank you! Yeah melee can be very rough and luck dependant for sure.
I have a bonespear run here: th-cam.com/video/SSGGexmDtic/w-d-xo.html
Fire druid inc?
Already did one :) th-cam.com/video/xPnJi_nCUCI/w-d-xo.html
I was looking for it on ur Channel and miss it propabby thank you im about to make first fire dudu i my life 👍😁
Good luck it's one of my fav builds!
Against all ranged attackers, slow missile is unmatched. Try it
Will do
this type of gameplay reminds of me PoE ranger
I wouldn't know. I tried to get into PoE a few times but it wasn't for me.
can you also get away with "no vit" build for other job class? this is so good content
I believe I did a no-vita sorc attempt, but didn't clear it. I recently did a no-vitality barb (second to last video currently). I also want to do this run again but without the shared stash to see how well it goes. I do think all classes are viable for no-vita runs.
gg
Bowazon was a favorite build of mine ^^
Gg
Wow this seems.... surprisingly viable.
Yeah I had the same response when doing this run
Been playing bowa for years. With maxed out valk, she's incredibly safe and a lot of fun. Don't forget your harmony bow as well cheap and damn good in a 4os Gothic bow or Hydra bow if you can find one
1:38 this zoom level is too close for me
Got it
puts strong items on a character "woow this character is strong"
that cropped intro traumatized me idk why
Rakanishu be terrifying
Needs more cowbell 🐮
Love bowama, was my first char back in the days ❤ i got a physical bowama, works great!
And sign me up for subscriber run 😉
Bowazons are just so much fun.
I'll figure out something for viewer runs but it'll be a while for sure
@@thenuclearrabbit count me in, dont plan on dying Any time soon! 😅
Me neither but just so little time so many things to do. I could keep busy till I'm 80 easily
@@thenuclearrabbit know the feeling 🫣
Watching your channel really made me realize how resists are more important than plus to skills. I'm a recovering plus to skills whore 😂
Yeah res are the most important thing in the entire game. Max resists give you 75%, damage reduced to all the elements. Skills grant a lot as well but it will never be that good
How did you get an UM from nightmare hellforge? It only could drop a HEL at maximum..😂😂😂
Isn't normal max hel? I've gotten Um from Nm forge a lot of times
Um is max NM. I got an um recently on NM with one toon.
now same run but a SSF run :)
It's on the list :)

The menu isn't great but it plays perfectly fine
Hardest video to watch so far. Clicking through everything so fast, next to no gear recaps. What’s the point of the shared stash if you don’t mention any of the items you’re using to showcase them
