Potential Strategies?

[whathuh]

Sweet deal. Thanks for the advice.

I've played Javazons, bladeazons, spearazons, maceazons, and about everything else you can imagine, EXCEPT Bowazons. :P

How in the world does anyone play a maceazon before a bowazon...

Anyway, M'av's is definately a frostmaiden set. A very cool perk is the gloves' 10 second duration to cold. I would suggest getting LOTS of this, as frozen monsters can't exactly hit you back. If you can find small charms with dual cold mods (been playing since 1.04 and I've only found one), that adds 2 second duration. Very good indeed.

Before you can actually wear mavs, might I suggest wizendraw. It lowers enemy cold resist, and is actually viable as an end weapon with a cold facet in it. thats -40 cold resist and +5 cold damage when perfect. Kuko Shakaku is also incredibly powerful, as is Buriza-do, but who wants the cookie cutters of 1.09? Lycanders aim is also very powerful with its +4 bow skills.

You will want some form of knockback with this build, I think, because your bane is anyone who doesn't freeze. Thats where magic arrow (just fire normal arrows, mavs and wizendraw both shoot magics) comes in. Since its free, you wont be wasting all your mana on them.

An extremely low level suggestion is raven claw and witherstring. Raven claw shoots off level 3 exploding arrow, and wither doesn't require ammo. Your choice.

You might want to invest into some energy, as frozen arrow is expensive. Cresent Moon has up to 15% mana leech, which surprisingly is not a whole lot. Multi-shot with around 10 arrows makes for a powerful mana-replenisher, but it gets annoying when you have to switch back and forth between skills.
