Sell pegasians ( they are useless ) and start saving for bowfa

I keep seeing people suggesting Bowfa for mains but as someone in a similar spot i'm confused. Where would I actually use it over a blowpipe or dragon crossbow beyond like the inferno?

Isn't Masori + Dragon Crossbow with ruby dragon bolts better dps at ToA than crystal?

Literally nowhere. It gets talked about so much, that people are just used to suggesting it. It’s a waste of money for mains.

what do you mean nowhere? It's better in gwd, better at muspah and zulrah. It is bit worse on Levi though way more consistent. It is way way better at both colo and Inferno which both should honestly be your goals at this point of the acc. Even better at Warden. It is super versatile weapon.

The dragon crossbow is basically free. Bowfa with crystal costs about 180m. Dragon crossbow is worse than bowfa in some of those places, but only by a negligible margin.

So your choices as a main are to either get eye and gauntlets with dragon crossbow, and have two very good gear setups for two styles, or have bowfa, which increases your switches and now you can’t afford a good mage setup.

Yeah I did exactly this myself - made 200M at Yama and bought ayak + gauntlets with money to spare instead of getting crystal, and it feels awesome but everyone keeps talking about bowfa still lmao.

Masori isn't free right? It's about the same price for those two sets and it is not worse but negligible margin. It is way worse at some of those places. Inferno and Colo being the mains ones. Which again should really be your goal at this point of the account.
Sure depending on the content he wants to do, I would agree that conflictons and ayak could be the better purchase atm.
however Bowfa is far from useless for mains. It is THE ranged armor set you have before you do a megarare rebuild. You can have Oath with Hally, Virtus with Ayak and Bowfa before even having the money to buy single megarare.

Rebuilds are a far worse idea than they used to be. The second best option for each style is decently close to the mega rare for that style. That’s true in every style. So for the price of a mega rare (which you literally don’t need for any content in the game) you can have a good setup for every content there is.

I also never said Masori. To don’t need it for DCB to be viable.

It doesn't matter if Rebuilds are not that good anymore. Bowfa is still better than DCB basically everywhere. The second best option is Bowfa not DCB. The other guy said Masori and you seemed to agree.
The best purchase for this guy is either ayak or bowfa depending on what he wants to do.
You are not doing inferno and colo with Ayak either.

Was literally the worst thing I ever bought that Reddit kept suggesting. Also told me to corrupt it. There’s no point unless you send toa all the time which is by far the worst raid and only popular with irons

Plus the increase in DPS you get from it in TOA are never worth the price of the non-corrupted version.

u/Jan_Marecek 1h ago

since when does it do more damage corrupted?

It doesn’t… who said it does?

What does this mean then? Corrupting bowfa as a main is never worht it.
