Bowadin - Diablo 2

[@HunnyDoo]

For a moment I forgot why I don't play this game anymore, then I see the spam bots.

[@meuhey]

no spam on classic

[@Djuntas]

Just use a ignore filter, I dont have any spam, EVER :)

[@jon9274]

pressing N deletes the chat.

[@thedonmarlo]

Just simply youtube "d2 no bot spam"

[@Itz_KLONOPIN]

Nackers69 spam bots are gone bro

[@MercurialWolf]

Many many years ago in classic zeal used to work with ranged attacks as well as melee. There were a lot more bowadins back then.

[@Jvstm]

*Takes a legit Bow Paladin build* *Makes it completely useless by turning it into a FoH Paladin* STILL A BOW PALADIN! STILL A BOW PALADIN! No - it's an FoH Paladin with a bow equipped. If you want a real bow Paladin pick up a Demon Machine and invest in Holy Fire.

[@terothehero8538]

Its his twist, maybe you should go make one yourself if you have such a great idea :)

[@teapots4103]

I use holy shock. Try to get my hands on goldstrike, witch wild, widowmaker

[@mattymania7696]

really enjoyed this video, these obscure builds are actually really really interesting, most people don't know builds outside of the meta (including me) so if you have more weird and wonderful builds I'd love another one, maybe a zeal sorce? heard about it, never seen. or maybe you have a few tricks up your sleave. p.s. quality of your vids are top notch too.

[@ns4529]

I'm not the only one who's lazy to take down the christmas tree. good man! :D

[@gustavschmidt8183]

Why not use holy fire with the explosive arrows, the fire dmg gets added to the aoe. U could also prebuff with enchant to get even more dmg. Nice build thou!!

[@DoubleBilly]

I'm working on it >:)

[@regrub15]

Would hellrack be better against single targets?

[@supersasquatch]

you have space to loot thingsr with such builds? is there a shock lightning verison workable?

[@maxzhu56]

What is the white star fly away?

[@jacksonpolanco1463]

muy bueno una pregunta tu te ideas todo esto? podrias que se yo sacar algun necro con una habilidad de guerrero?

[@daheadsmiter2052]

this wall better work

[@jacksonpolanco1463]

wat wall work??

[@FizzyMcSoda]

Why not invest the extra skill points in Resist Lightning & Resist Fire to up your resistance caps to Lightning & Fire?

[@EatingCtrlV]

Hey Xtimus! I'd love to see a video on a Aura Stacked Pally, I've always heard of them, but never been able to afford to build one!! Or maybe a Bard Barb, that would be cool to see too!

[@myscreen2urs]

Good choice on using brand. My favorite weapon in the game. Do you know about fire splash damage? If you have anything that adds fire damage to your damage stats when firing explosive arrows, you increase splash damage. Splash damage is the damage that hits surrounding targets in addition to the main target. Holy fire is ideal for utilising explosive arrows. You can also exploit enchant into this.

[@radgracie]

Lol I was looking for a Bowazon video and didnt realise Paladin using a bow was a viable build at all until I had watched this. Awesome stuffz!

[@shresthaditya9731]

xtimus can u make a beginners hard core guide describing items ,useful tips and everything plz

[@TheAoalec14]

Shresth Aditya I don't think he plays hardcore

[@Zoddom]

Does fcr decrease the foh cooldown?

[@cristifl93]

No, nothing affects foh cooldown

[@LaddRusso91]

Wouldn`t fire/light/cold res skills help you out?

[@georgecatalinnicuta8559]

Im wonder how do you clear baals throne room full of souls or stigian dolls

[@twoshake2211]

if u max cold resist aura would that make ice more damage?

[@clarenceham5923]

RuA WirI it will make holy freeze stronger

[@stancaj9295]

I used to use this kinda build for people that were always running away from smite and charge

[@Henriksson4]

put points in resist auras cause you get passive resist right

[@ZataMachi]

Man, I love experimenting. It has always interested me.

[@yemanyaaa]

Nice dusk shroud right there, perfect for an Enigma

[@K12machinima]

Bowadin, eh? I too like to live dangerously...

[@tomeu8625]

Lol! That used to happen to my clan! I can say, we were pretty strong. Some of us tried to get creative after doing the run-of-the mill and cookie-cutter character builds. Nice vid!

[@Crosby4hyg]

Maybe consider putting those remaining skill points into fire, cold or light resistance. Cool build man!

[@zayl777]

Very nice idea :) Thank you for sharing!

[@OnDFastLane]

btw.. The bot spam can easily be fixed. idk if u did already. your d2 folder has an ignore list. If u fill it in with the spam names you /ignore presides in game and it's ok forever unless you get a new name to block ✌

[@MyYTwatcher]

What about "auradin" with bow. Wouldnt it be better. I understand you cant have aura from shield but still.

[@meetspins]

You don't need two raven frosts. And you should be using a Dragon armor, fire damage is the only damage that adds to the explosive arrow

[@brendondoerffler9771]

Cool build, but I do not see this working in hc although it would be funny to see a bowadin running sound in hc

[@rogerklotz7737]

2 sox 2 skills 20 fcr 20 strengh and frw. Did you find that yourself? Very gud Diadem.

[@marchattack9276]

Fist of heavens said count= over 9000

[@SssamB]

Next up, leap attack sorceress

[@szalaierik]

XD XD XD

[@RetroArcadeFan1]

love D2, an addiction

[@bladelp]

I got the same love for this game than you. Keep going bro, i love your videos. The really D2 lovers will appreciate your videos.

[@sursnaps]

That's a really innovative build, love it X! Good way to work around the Fist CD.

[@czlowiekdebi3301]

you can put points into holy bolt, it's a synergy to foh

[@D2ezbmu]

Gotta be honest, you probably need to go back to the drawing board on this one dude lol.

[@jameswarner5878]

I used to make them all the time. I called him a ranger instead of bowadin, because bowadin sounds stupid.

[@willynotwonka.541]

Bah gawd. That intro ! What's going on Xtimus ? ;)

[@ccgb92]

LOL @ the anni part. Bro, to be honest, you receive far more flack than you deserve. Love your videos dude.

[@master-potato7073]

Nice video, but i think i would have go with ice for bow, dream and dragon for equipment... Then you could have use the rest of your skill for more damage with the aura, use razortail too.

[@JoeEvans]

Try Widowmaker for Guided Arrow and max Fanat Aura. Try upgraded Kuko Shakaku with Fire Aura. You don't have a bowadin, you have a FoHer. You seem to have a plethora of rune words but a lack of understanding, which experimenting will fix. For elemental Bowadins you should max the damage Aura and its synergy.

[@aarontrew1410]

KillRobPlays Diablo 2 Stupid Builds Bowadin.... He is on episode 9 I think.

[@Bricks3374]

Yeah, This guy is obviously copying KillRob, kinda lame

[@MorbidDesire]

He uses Holy Fire and does only Normal. I don't think his build is viable through NM and especially Hell.

[@KillrobPlays]

Hey guys! I don't know why you'd say Xtimus is copying me :) looking at this video he is talking about a proper, late-game viable version of the Bowadin, whereas I just show a simple Bowadin making his way through Normal difficulty. It's all good, I'd call it a coincidence and there is only very little overlap. But if you like the Bowadin concept, maybe check out my videos, too. Cheers!

[@Xtimus]

KillrobPlays I like your videos btw kill rob :)

[@KillrobPlays]

Glad to hear that. :) I frequently watch your content, too. Not many D2 KZbinrs out there making creative content for the game, unfortunately. Cheers!

[@Fiends4]

Viz-age. Not Vice-age.

[@terothehero8538]

Yo momma

[@caosonnguyen3336]

weirdest buit i've ever seen

[@Hex51]

why not use your ignore list for the spam bots

[@promyntheus2782]

Try ranger with: Nef (knockback) Kuko (Explosive, piercing, fire damage) Blackthorns (lightning absorb, prevent monster heal, light dmg and slow target) Razor tail (piercing) 20%IAS gloves Infernostrides (additional fire dmg, +max fire resist 10%) Rising Sun Ammy (FIre dmg, absorb fire, meteors!) Rings: Dwarf Star (Fire Absorb) or Nature's Peace (Slain monsters RIP, Prevent monster heal) Ravenfrost (Cold Absorb, cold damage, cannot be frozen!) The slow knockback pirecing and explosive has area effect. slowing everything down. Gain life from diablo fire and lightning due to maxing 90% resists on fire and lightning plus the absorbs on gear Max Fana for IAS and Conviction toggle for any elemental resist creatures (plus that meteor!) Zero points in Combat Skills Max Vigor for speed. Points in resists as needed. Redemption is good too as needed to recoup life on the go from slain monsters. Won't need the Holy Shock Aura. Fun build and cheap build!

[@Itz_KLONOPIN]

IF YOU’RE COMPLAINING ABOUT SPAMBOTS THEN DO THIS: CHANGE YOUR CLEAR SCREEN BUTTON (default is letter n) TO THE SPACE BAR. Now your thumb sits naturally right above it for super quick taps to clear screen. Yw

[@LaddRusso91]

This reminds me of KillrobPlays `s series of "stupid builds".

[@gildrop]

Fist of THE heavens. THE.HEAVENS.

[@terothehero8538]

yo momma

[@PsychokoreUndergroundRap]

to bad no life leech.. and the dmg is really lacking imo.. since you are solo playing now.. imagine a full game, how long that would take to clear out shenk

[@lennartgro]

This diadem, wow it must worth a shitload of highrunes

[@heidevolk_le_gueux]

Better go for an aurabowadin.

[@D2FFDK]

Redemption might be nice to invest in (since you have so many free points)..gather some life back after a big fight.

[@derpchief9614]

I simply don't think the Paladin was meant for this, the Amazon is THE bow class and while it might be fun to play a bowadin nobody would legitimately play this unironically, right?

[@camap7580]

Amazon is the class for bow build, yes. But it is common. He is trying to build something unconventional. It is not very good and is less effective than a common Paladin/Amazon build though.

[@tfosss8775]

I once saw a Bow-Sorc using a Kuko-Shakaku with Enchant doing massive fire damage 1-hitting hell cows. I think they have since nurf'ed enchant so its not viable anymore.

[@DeltaLeader035]

Damnit man put the tree away its February. xD

[@szalaierik]

XD

[@Leafgreen1976]

Love your videos bro but this is an evolutionary dead end.

[@adrianmalinowski1073]

Why conviction? No sense

[@gamerzeven6227]

*Cool* :)

[@JEL5150]

Anni is pronounced like annihilate

[@PJKlips]

nice build

[@mrgrey9584]

Just make a bow Amazon with windforce and faith on a merc .. and use multi shot … slap everything

[@SilencedXKilla]

It's actually Anna-ha-loos... Get it right.

[@rioblacklion9010]

I see your diadem with jewel

[@stancaj9295]

I've also never seen an amazing foh pally

[@powerfulnoun2608]

Fist of THE heavens.

[@Xtimus]

Here comes the random complaint police.

[@DrEvil-os9dc]

Lmao you can’t even pronounce Annihilus correctly. Annihilate. Pronounce that. Now pronounce Annihilus.

[@HawkBreland]

this

[@terothehero8538]

Yo momma

[@ccgb92]

Did you even watch the part where he said he was joking? What an idiotic comment.

[@Itz_KLONOPIN]

That gear is super weak bro I mean you’re using set gloves and boots lol. Pretty dumb to make it use elemental damage rather than physical too BUT I guess for pvm it doesn’t matter. The true test of a char build is to do well in pubs which this bowa wouldn’t.

[@papasmurf205]

Love what you're doing but if I had a nickel for every word you mispronounced I'd be a rich man.

[@willynotwonka.541]

It's an Anni. Hahaha I got that one..

[@cerebrallag4441]

well... you rarely see anyone doing this because well i just isnt effective. nice effort though

[@IbanezLk]

Hard points into resist auras give perm max res. I do believe every 2 hard points = 1 max res Those 33 skill points could be a lot more useful there instead of in vigor

[@balintmiklosy9138]

Bow paladin is already a weak build, but your version is just plain terribad lul, read up on "fires explosive arrow" and maybe piercing attack. (Demon Machine/Kuko Shakaku + Razortail + Holy Fire with Infinity merc may actually do something)

[@MsGhoulz]

Brand was trash when I tried it for the amazon.

[@bgggsht]

butt............ why ?

[@detestthehero]

Update your ignorelist and you won't get spammed.

[@cacadodo666]

Fanatism? Anni? Less diablo, more reading.

[@cacadodo666]

Vie-ger?

[@dumiclumic4423]

Funny shit lol

[@iamtheonewhoyoulove]

botd in a hydra bow with faith on merc is better

[@moiseman]

D2 builds are so limited :(

[@moiseman]

Yeah right because that matters so much, am I going to put everything into vitality or everything into vitality gee I don't know

[@georgecatalinnicuta8559]

Your mercenary do more dmg then you

[@marcello4258]

he is not really doing good is he

[@styleisaweapon]

An unbelievable amount of mispronunciation.

[@Salsakongen]

Cant see when u wanna use this build. it sucks so much.

[@r.9158]

You make some great videos but some of your pronounciations are just terrible. It happens often enough in the beginning that I don't know if it's a joke or not.

[@MHChrono]

I like your videos man, but you mispronounce so many words it's sometimes hard to watch.

[@TheAoalec14]

FOH pally is so bad pvm it was godly pvp in one patch if I remember

[@freezEpic]

I think It's really weak.

[@Wibber]

What a useless build...

[@gtxjc]

So...basically an inefficient and useless build. Gotcha

[@torzsokszilveszter2444]

Another useless build.

[@Yozzeus]

U made a bowadin but u sound like someone that is about to cry.....if u like something just Smile ...is not too hard ..anyway I have stopped the video after 1 min...

[@Xtimus]

I don't understand where your getting that from. lol but ok.
