You could probably sacrifice 3 levels of your attack boost for bow charge plus

[Exdraconian]

You have no critical boost on your build which relies on crits only and you can drop a weakness exploit since two is already enough to counter the negative affinity on the weapon

[Lawrencium103]

You can probably get rid of tenderiser jewel for something else, 2 weakness exploit counters the negative affinity so you do not need more. My suggestion would be to get a critical draw gen and change out your leg armour for something else
EDIT: got confused on which Bazel armour had crit draw 2

[jonesp]

Tenderizer removed!

Now i just need Lunatra Greeves to add MightyBow and CritDraw decos. I think I'll go for CritBoost for now.

Thank you all.

If you really like bow you should try elemental bows.

I got all of them. I just use DragonPiercer when I'm bored.

Affinity augment
crit boost 3
crit draw 3
non elemental boost
piercing shots
special ammo boost 2
Quick sheath 3
Non-elemental boost

For the last skill you have two options between attack boost 5 or crit eye 5

Attack boost 5 gives a small amount of higher dps, but crit eye lvl5 gives u more consistency cuz it lets you reach 100% affinity.

As others have mentioned WE not rly worth it cuz it doesn't activate on most of the piercing hits.

Also bow charge plus isnt worth it atm because it's too expensive to get, maybe it'll be worth it in the future when we get more slots.

If you're really bored, you can also try this awesome support DP build when we get Kulve Taroth:

Bazel Head Beta
Kulve Taroth Chest Alpha
Bazel Arms Alpha
Bazel Waist Beta
Kulve Taroth Legs Beta
Wide-Range Charm III

Skills:
crit boost 2
crit draw 3
non elemental boost
piercing shots
special ammo boost 2
Quick sheath 3
Wide Range 5
Earplugs 5
Non-elemental boost

and most importantly it comes with Guts, bazelguese set bonus which saves you from getting carted if your HP is above 30%, it adds to your tankiness as support and I think it stacks with Felyne Moxie to give you 2 saves b4 you faint.

I think I'll try this. Thanks!

As others suggested, remove weakness exploit and replace it with crit boost, drop 3 levels of attack boost and replace them with critical eye and augment the bow for affinity.
I also recommend at least one level of flinch free, since you don't want to be accidentally tripped by your teammates while charging DPs.

Useless on this build. You will never get to use the extra level of charge of anything but downed monsters.

[KnockerLocker]

Better put a vit 3 on that. 😂

Or just sacrifice a single deco slot (attack boost or crit eye) for the GUTS set bonus if you're looking for survivability, guts is much better than vitality 3 imo.

[jonesp]

This is what I came up with. I don't know how to put the 3rd CritBoost.

Edit: Whoops, I forgot to put SpecialAmmoBoost. (updated screenshot)

[Titanium70]

I went for a different approach since I'm not a fan of Cera-Elementless.
Villanious-CritBoost simply deals more DMG.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1538833709

It's not quite finished, since I lack the Pierce Jewel and a CritDraw Jewel which would give me some more space to experiment with. But I like it. Especially since I don't need good old Eyepatch and have smooth 100% Crit on every single hit.

(Augmented the DevilBow for Affinity and DMG.)

[Stationary Traveller]

I'd be most worried about the lack of Quick Sheath as it will make the set very unpractical to use.
Here's a variant with Crit Boost 2 that freely allows you to swap in how many Quick Sheath decos you want (2/3 is the sweet spot):
http://honeyhunterworld.com/mhwb/?278,67,94,70,76,74,48,aff,0,0,94,94,0,76,76,0,16,24,0,65,0,0,26,0,0,30,0,0,3
It requires a Critical Draw deco more than what you already have.
