These videos are great man, I don't have the time to play much anymore, so it's cool to come home from work and throw these on the TV while I'm cooking or whatever at home! These niche builds are really fun to watch for playthrough
Mr llama this build Inspired me to buy the game again and actually beat the game all the way to ubers. After the few years of bin watching your videos. I understand the game so much more. Thanks for what you do man, been watching since brood war days. Rad to see how far you came! I got a lot of low runes and gems and I need help knowing what to do with them. If you or anyone can help me out that would be awesome! Normal act 3 Cheers mr llama thanks again.
"It's Diablo 2, there is still RNG. It might take years to find Mang Songs Lesson, who knows..." The salt was dripping from your mouth when you said this Llama 😂
I just started recently. Level 13. Playing this bow setup. Watched about half hour so far. Will continue.. Learned a bunch. Although the major problem with this is moving and clicking way too fast so nobody can see what to do. Also I don't get the potions. This just seems completely wrong. Buying additional potions and saying to watch so you don't run out. I never bought one potion from the shop ever. In fact just keep 8 on my belt whenever I leave town. And keep a few of each in my chest. I hardly ever use them. So I sell all the potions I find. I have found tons of potions and just sell them all. Because they're rarely needed. There's zero point in wasting money on potions and inventory space hauling additional around. 8 on belt is all that's needed. I have not died yet and my archer homy who I can heal.
Hey Llama. Love these guided playthrough. I've watched every single one now but always come back to your bowazon. Just a quick question. Will chipped rubies boost the fire contact damage of holy fire like they do exploding arrow on your zon? I'm guessing charms that add the same Ele damage also stack with the attack component?
if anyone is making this character while also making a grail, vidalas full set absolutely slays early in normal on P8. i use cathans helm with two cathan rings and that gives a massive +30 to strength and only requires level 11, and 23 strength to wear the helm. that covers the strength requirements for the vidala bootsr. vidala boots armor and amulet gives +26 dex, which covers your dex for the bow. additionally deaths belt and gloves together gives 30 IAS and 15 all res, and the belt has cannot be frozen on it. vidalas set gives a massive boost to your AR too, making almost every attack hit.
@MrLlamaSC unless you knew i've had some sameout strategizing from the launch of diablo 2 ( atleast ever since you were able to order it to Finland ) and i also suppose we've toppled couple of our past HC builds on duels
Can you make a recommendation for hard-core mode of this character… A general idea of what level to complete which act, as we progress through each difficulty. Thanks!
You say requires but have you seen some of the nonsense mr llama seems to pull off? For your average player melee in hell without grief is all but unplayable but he seams to just wonder around hell chaos sanctuary with punch barb wearing rags like it's a joke lol.
I'm back after a year out. Trying this build and character for the first time. It's amazing how strong is, i set my game on Players 8 at the start and... Never changed it. It's a blast! Right now I'm lvl 27 on Act 3 Low Kurast and just chilling... Walk on the park guys... 🎉
@@your_eulogy2688 My version of the game doesn't do that, I'm in Australia playing the America region, and my version appears to be 1.3.70569 is this why it doesn't work for me ?
I have missed these guided playthrough so much, I like to play them in the background while I drive for work and listen. Unfortunately your voice is incredibly quiet in this one and I can't hear what you are saying :(
Why is it important that you only add rubies to your bow if you're using explosion arrows? Other types of damage (from topazes, emeralds and saphires) won't stack?
The others only give dmg to the initial Hit (which can miss and is pretty low compared) For some reason the explosion is the only ability where added fire damage from rubys/ral runes works on the skill(spell)damage
@@PasserMontanus No, doesnt work on freezing arrow as far as i know its just exploding arrow, no idea why it is just that skill ... may be a bug that was kept?
@@BumstiLP aoe based elemental bow skills receive extra splash damage from matching elemental damage, so freezing arrow damage can be boosted with cold damage from your gear :)
Like your videos. Have learned a lot. Thanks. Question. You keep changing player. Like Player 1 to player 3 or 5. Exactly how and where do you do that?
Only works on single player. On pc just type /players x, x being from 1-8. On console go to settings and gameplay, and adjust the slider to whatever suits you
good video as always mr lama but the spambot is funny , whats the point of buying things like runes and other stuff ? the pleasure of this game is to find them alone and be happy
I did a bows play through and it was good for a while and then in Hell act 5 it was just really slow. I switched to psn/charged strike which was wayyy faster
@@magneticdozer yeah I had Buriza, torch, a skiller, laying of hands. Strafe was cool and all but it was just too slow relative to basically all other builds
Thanks Llama to do more often kill boss I always asked myself it’s a let’s play but you always rushed through the acts so it’s good to see what else can we get from you
@@starhunter2770 I've done both. The barb literally ran out of damage in Hell and the Spearazon just had no resist even with treachery for the fade proc. Both were absolute trainwrecks
Sadly there is noway for me to play this game. Iam a sp gamer only and I played all the time offline with friends (tcp-ip)... Unfortunately, D2R does not support LAN play. This is a change people supported in order to encourage more people to play online. Thx for NOTHING blizzard and thx for NOTHING mr lama. Lama and blizzard said it would have offline support, fking LIARS! "Abandon your foolish quest! All that awaits you is the wrath of my hatred! You are too late to save your reputation.

How did your journey go?
I like how you walk right up to their face and then shoot'em with your ranged attack
Equipment fire damage sums up to explosion damage of exploding arrow. Best normal low level bow for this build is 3 os bow with 3 x ral.

Are you using your skills lol? Or do you have like 5+ mana per kill? I chug like 200 mana pots in an hour
I know its not very min-maxy but I like the Magic Arrow skill. With enough points, it starts refunding mana instead of decreasing it.
I like it too, especially for maggot lair playthrough, maybe it's not berserk, but still in many case can prove more reliable than the 5% atma proc.

I'm a simple man, I see Mr Llama and I click. ❤
So does the damage from rubies get added twice?
Added to the main attack if the arrow hits and the explosion which always hits. Yup!
@@MrLlamaSC thanks for the really fast reply. Impressive
I've always had a fondness for the archer class, too.
Great stuff as always. I just bought D2R for my switch, first character was a Javazon but now I want to play Bowazon lol.
what happened to the side panel that showed the level and gold and the attributes
also doesnt increasing strength increase your attack?

What should I put in my 3 socket aldurs rhythm?
quick question about uber, which champ can solo uber in Single Player without struggling to much to drink a potion?
Love your play throughs. I am following along with an identical build.
What shocking in this video is the fact about Countess drops. Thanks MrLlama
If cold and fire, that was called as Magezon. I had Magezon/SoSo-zon build a lot of time ago. Required very good stuff, lots of skillers & so on.
Is 3 ral hunters bow or zephyr more damage???
Where'd your last video go?
@MrLlamaSC unless you knew i've had some sameout strategizing from the launch of diablo 2 ( atleast ever since you were able to order it to Finland ) and i also suppose we've toppled couple of our past HC builds on duels
Would socketing the hunters bow with 3 Ral runes work the same way as rubies for exploding arrow?
Yes
Yes but it's not usable until level 19. He was level 13 when talking about the rubies.
Can you make a recommendation for hard-core mode of this character… A general idea of what level to complete which act, as we progress through each difficulty. Thanks!
I see you playing without the mercenary.Does using merc take half of your earned exp?
Ahhh yes bowazon ! Can't wait to see the next parts :) It's too bad, the bowazon require tremendous items to play in Hell
You say requires but have you seen some of the nonsense mr llama seems to pull off? For your average player melee in hell without grief is all but unplayable but he seams to just wonder around hell chaos sanctuary with punch barb wearing rags like it's a joke lol.
Can you craft runewords in single player in d2r that were previously ladder only? Obedience specifically?
yes
57:02 - i just did duriel on p3 by accident :D
favourite character I always come back to a elemental bowazon
Would enchant work the same way as rubies does with exploding arrow?
Yes it does.
@@Bowazon sweet thx
When is part 2 coming out?
Why does MrLlama hate good lighting as of late?
YES! I've been waiting for this one!
I'm back after a year out. Trying this build and character for the first time. It's amazing how strong is, i set my game on Players 8 at the start and... Never changed it. It's a blast! Right now I'm lvl 27 on Act 3 Low Kurast and just chilling... Walk on the park guys... 🎉
Everything is a walk in the park in normal.
how do you exit and enter the same game? every time I do it creates a new game
If you play online the maps will reset. If you play single player the maps stay the same until you change difficulty or change the seed.
@@your_eulogy2688 My version of the game doesn't do that, I'm in Australia playing the America region, and my version appears to be 1.3.70569 is this why it doesn't work for me ?
yesss more guided playthroughs!
I have missed these guided playthrough so much, I like to play them in the background while I drive for work and listen. Unfortunately your voice is incredibly quiet in this one and I can't hear what you are saying :(
Yeah my new setup has my microphone much quieter for some reason
Awesome can't wait to get through this series
What did u mean they changed how blocking works? 😯
having to figure out which toon to delete to make a new toon is so hard..
When will the Llama weekend retreats for the fans begin? Think of all the fun Diablo related events!
Excellent play and advice!
I wanna start ladder with this char, but I'm worried about the speed in hell with no gear initially.
If you use Shift + [1,2,3,4] you can shortcut to feed to mercenary potions from your belt. I only did a quick search if someone has said this before.

@@Bowazon was that added in resurrected i cant remember it working in lod... though i havent played bowzons in years
Seems new build for sin uses 2/20/2os circ just sold mine for a goood amount
How is Melody better than Harmony?
Unless D2R changed those rune words and made Melody a better word than it was before?
Melody can have up to +6 bow skills (if made in a +3 base) and 20% IAS.
Like your videos. Have learned a lot. Thanks.

One with my favorites bulids
Took Duriel fight with lvl26 amazon and lvl 24 polearm barb.Amazon died twice while with barb only merc died.
I've never seen playthrough so long without ruby 😀
How do I get MrLlamaSC to stop advertising in my discord?
What do you mean?
I’ve never been this early! Thanks llama !
How about that Poison Necro, though. Gotta walk him through.
I did a bows play through and it was good for a while and then in Hell act 5 it was just really slow. I switched to psn/charged strike which was wayyy faster
Started a physical bow recently also and man do you really need the right gear to get it to work in hell.
@@magneticdozer yeah I had Buriza, torch, a skiller, laying of hands. Strafe was cool and all but it was just too slow relative to basically all other builds
Love your content man, bring the mic a bit closer to you. Videos have recently become very low.
Berserk guided playthrough when :( I know its rough. But its such a popular MF build, that i think it could be worth it.
how about a javazon playthrough next!
Gg mrlama love it ty for the info always
Thanks Llama to do more often kill boss I always asked myself it’s a let’s play but you always rushed through the acts so it’s good to see what else can we get from you
Bowazons HAS to be the hardest class to solo normal-hell.
Whirlwind barb is probably waaaay harder. At least elemental bowazon doesn’t have to worry about AR and weapon damage
@@starhunter2770 Yeah WW barb is up there for sure
Untwinked Throwbarb and Untwinked Spearazon would like a word.
@@nuclearbunny oh my god😂
I don’t even wanna think about playing those untwinked
@@starhunter2770 I've done both. The barb literally ran out of damage in Hell and the Spearazon just had no resist even with treachery for the fade proc. Both were absolute trainwrecks
Class you would add to d2: Monk! Or Abbott.
You need to add this to your website
I was just thinking of making a bowazon
Woo!!! Alright Llama!!!
Yes! Now finish the melee sorc
Edit: if it makes it easier I think we could accept one dream runeword LMFAO
Andariel was not bugged
The volume of your intro, gameplay and notifications is so loud compared to your mic, Llama. Makes it hard to watch :(
I hate smart loot! If D4 has smart loot POE is going to smash them
Spearzon...
You look tired as hell haha.
Spambots in a single player game... lol, what a waste.
Sadly there is noway for me to play this game. Iam a sp gamer only and I played all the time offline with friends (tcp-ip)... Unfortunately, D2R does not support LAN play. This is a change people supported in order to encourage more people to play online. Thx for NOTHING blizzard and thx for NOTHING mr lama.

man, this is clitbait! i expected let's play but it is speedrun 🙂 i also expected mr. llama but there is some 40+ hairy ugly twin or something 😀
... I never found a Shako in I don't know how many hours. Today I found 3 in quick succsession (about 4 ish hours)
