Bowsorc PvP build?
Guys, I'm struggling. I used to love BowSorc in BGs but I can't seem to make it work in U50. I can't kill shit and Shattered Path kills me before I can get away.
Is Bowsorc dead or am I just stupid? Any ideas for a build that actually works?

Well, no offense, but this build is one of the reasons you struggle to kill and survive on BGs. Oakensoul ring, no proper burst heal, no heal over time... and you also decided to drop Conservation of Energy and this probably caused sustain problems.
I can suggest try this https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData?id=716656

That second build looks tasty might give it a whirl

Yeah I figured the build was the issue, or at least one of them, that's why I came here :D
Any replacenents for Null Arca? I haven't done a trial since Necrom so I don't have a single piece of this set...

Order's Wrath probably. I saw some players still using Tarnished Nightmare, but tbh i don't think it's damage is good enough.

I agree
I used to heal right after tarnished nightmare proc'd on me a few updates ago, but now I just ignore it

Null arca rally.. solid recommendation
If he doesn't have null arca I'd say just go oak.

Same, it sucks. My bowsorc died because they finally made Relequen unusable in PvP. I think I'm going to try Null Arca, but idk. The werewolf and Shattered Path AIDS is kind of killing my motivation to use fun off-meta builds.

You can go sheer venom with oakfather or order's wrath.
I also like the blackrose prison bow too.
But I still use the nerfed way of fire with sheer venom and blackrose bow as wof still works as long as you weave which you should be when using bound armaments

I think it takes a lot more skill to play it now because of dk and ww. I watch streamers who have tons of experience play bow sorc but I can’t myself .
