There is an argument to only put 1 point in Guided Arrow and Magic Arrow, especially if your primary objective is to farm maps. The attack rating is mostly unimportant since you should have capped hitchance on any non-boss mobs long before 20 points anyway. Others will still put the extra points in anyway, since the 1-2 extra physical damage per point is multiplied by this build's 800%+ enhanced damage. This is because the arrow count caps at 24 at level 22, so some Bowazons will reach this with +skills from equipment before 20 points invested.

Many Bowazons suggest fewer than 20 points in multiple shot.

X Critical Strike (all remaining points).

X Pierce (should add up to 100% with the pierce on your gear).

Valkyrie is maxed as she is an incredibly useful tank for maps and ubers, especially in situations where your mercenary can't handle the load. Multiple Shot is the main clearing skill, Guided Arrow is the single target skill (currently bugged and doesn't convert to magic damage as the description says), and Magic Arrow is used for killing Physical Immunes. Skill allocation is highly debated among Bowazons, so the aim with this section is to inform you of the different choices and the advantages of each. This guide is a comprehensive resource for building a physical Bowazon (in softcore) that can farm any content in the game, including maps and ubers.
