Buriza worth the upgrade?

[superdave]

What gear does the amazon have to sacrifice to switch to buriza? Using buriza would free up alot of empty slots, you don't need Razortail (or any "wasted" points into pierce), do you even need IAS other than a Shael for the fastest buriza strafe?

none if you want to strafe only 14/4 but if you want to hit the faster strafes 11.5/3.5 or even 11/3 the gear sacrifice is huge...and no 100 ias(80 from bow + 20 shael) doesn't hit fastest break

That's absurd! The only strafe upgrade you want is to 3.5, which you get at 15% ias. At that point you do as much damage per second as a wws or gsa wielder decked out in ias gear. Nobody in their right mind would use ias gear on a burizon - it's just inefficient. So, yes, the 95% ias does hit the fastest bp anyone should go for with a 10 base speed crossbow.

isn't that what the whole discussion has been about? if you want to use a buriza at high strafes you will have to sacrifice gear to do it....someone mentioned that a shaeled buriza would hit final break....i am sure that you will agree that it does NOT....whether you think it prudent to pile on some ias or not....hell while we are at it lets truncate ALL of the ias tables just because of inefficiencies at highest breaks

Nope, the discussion is about whether you want to sacrifice survival or mf gear for ias. If you do, go with a fast bow. If not, think about a Buri.

The ias tables are reference material and should contain all available information. Still some of it may never be relevant. I dare you to find someone who has ever reached the buri's last breakpoint on a functional character. The buri is not about ias gear.
