This is the build i am using right now for everything.

Normal Rotation: >>>>>spamuntil cd powers recharge>>>>spam until voltage is recharging repeat!

Boss Rotation: >>>>>>>repeat the normal rotation

Good at defense: gives you a good survivability based on: 

  1. - provided by stealth
  2. - apply slow/weaken to enemies
  3. - stun
  4. - knockdown

Good when dealing: well - balanced fights based on:

  1. against trio bosses in Patrols
  2. Average single target when doing terminals.
  3. AoE powers provides by CC help the fights against groups of enemies.

Hard to deal: this is the worst :

  1. The AoE skills are good but you ll have issues against fast movement bosses (batroc, skrull elektra)
  2. You will miss a big part of your dmg when dealing against movement bosses is really easy for then to escape the area of dmg (because of the activation of the BW's AoE powers isnt instant) it happens frequently.
  3. Once you learn to deal against those kind of enemies you can fight better but those fights ll be slow -_- its really annoying. 

Gear: options/replacements/tips

Slot 1 Gear: if you dont have   you can replace with Heavily Modified Mercenary Assault Rifle .

If you dont have  go for  i have good dmg results when testing all those itens above. But the Bow of the Einherjar is by far the best dps .

Slot 2 gear:  its Bis in case you dont have one you can go . If have none of the itens above keep using BW  and farm some Danger Room Merits   and purchase

Slot 3 and 4 gear: i dont think those itens need to be replaced they gave me the best results.

Slot 5 gear:   have a great synergy with BW's signature and the BDR/BSR are a big boost for BW dmg. This item make BW's signature more efficient because of the "xxx dmg vs enemies not targeting you" . If you dont  have one of that try its also a good dps and have some good stats. You can use as replacement for the two itens above.

Legendaries: options/replacements

Legendary:

  1.  lvl 80 its the best dmg option.
  2. lvl 80  are great options with less dps compared to golden bow but still good if dont have the lvl 80 golden bow.
  3. if you cant afford a lvl 80 Legendary pick a legendary Lvl 70  is a well rounded option.

Insignia : I am using for now this is the best insig i have. Any of these others are good options :

-

 The best affixes are the offensive, try to have at least one of these --> Brutal Strike Rating-Brutal Damage Rating-Crit Damage Rating-Crit Strike Chance. Defensive affixes are ok Life-Dodge-Deflect.

Arifacts and Rings: options/replacements/tips

OBS: tips: we have our defenses increased a bit by and when our offense is boosted by and so when you think about a replacement you need to do with an item that works in the same way.

  1.   you can replace with , edge of the infinity is less dps but easy to farm and have good stats overall. If you dont have an edge of infinity you can use until you find edge of infinity.
  2. have some good defensive and offensive stats is what im using for now and gives me the best results, if you need a replacement item is a good option. If you need another option mental version of ARMOR is easy to buy from Jocasta in avenger's tower.
  3. is amazing for BW because all stats matches with her, if you need a replacement or shi'ar isnt great but the stats matches so it ll work.
  4. its hard to replace this item but work well other good option is if you need cheaper options gor for one of these  - - are easy to find :)

For the Rings:  is perfect for her all the stats matches and is easy to farm via danger room. For the rings options are and . You can use with : life - damage rating -Crit strike chance and ll work well.

 

Catalyst/Uru/Medallion: options and replacements

Medallions:

  1. the best results.
  2. good option. If you using this you need to replace with or to have a good crit strike chance.
  3. is a well rounded option if you dont have of the others above. :) also easy to farm via skrull terminal or hightown patrol.

 Uru:

I am using Uru-Forged War Plate because of the lack of BW's defenses, you can go forUru-Forged Battle Ballista is up to you if you want more dps or more defense.

The Runewords i have great results with if you are missing some doop runes or dont have this runeword, and are good options, if you need cheap runewords and can be a replacement for mischief or bowazon.

 

Catallyst:

  1.  Cosmic affix: go for the 1000 dmg boost your sign keep you out of trouble when you spam powers with a big boost and this is also increased by bonus.
  2. crafted affixes: are all Critical hit damage.
  3. +3 attribute can be Fighting or intelligence.
  4. tech bonus isnt that great, but at least 30% mov speed can be useful.

the other affixes are up to you, i like the health and bonus 25% medkit for the bad situations.

 

I ll update this build when they release the patch with the infinity system changes.
