The build I'm using is a Multishot Crushing Blow Zon... due to the way MS works in 1.07 (
all arrows leech, carry all effects, and have a
long range (at least 2½ screens)), and that crushing blow works at full effect w/missiles (and ignores PI) there, IMO 1.07 represents the zenith of bowazons!!! She's fast and safe, safe enough that my current iteration is Hardcore!!!
She WILL, however, kill the Cow King eventually, even if you're careful... the range and deadliness of her volleys means you may not even be aware of it when you do....
That means I have to run her in MP games... I don't really mind, as that means I can increase drops a LOT, but it also means no static maps, so run times are highly variable. I host with my lvl99 Sorc, who hits Akara, buys a TP tome, teleblitzes the Stony Field for the portal, grabs the leg, TPs back and throws tome (even if its now empty it works) & leg in cube for Cow portal... She never parties or enters the cow level, and I try hard not to kill anything that isn't directly in her way, to make it fast as possible. This part takes 20-120 seconds, depending on how long it takes to find the Tristram portal, averaging about 45-50 seconds
Runtimes in the cow level itself are also highly variable, going from as little as 3 minutes to as much as 10+, depending on map, finding a safe spot for the level sitters, and drops. I'm being very strict, only grabbing flawless gems, resistance ring gems, jewels, charms, and the (very) occasional blue elite or set item, but too many good drops on a run really slow you down as you play tetris with your backpack/cube and decide between this or that... Also, having to run back and save your levelsitters from a wandering cow that slipped by you can chew up some time (and admittedly, as I'm running HC, I've had to replace them several times
.....you
do want to save them if you can)
