FA or Plague to complement Strafe???
I was planning on having strafe/passives + an elemental attack skill. I'm trying to decide between Plague and FA, as they both seem solid choices, having only one synergy each, which is perfect since I was hoping to be done with my build around level 70-80 zone, then build more into passives and the like. Here are a few specific questions of mine:
1) I'm dirt-poor, and playing offline, so I must survive on what I find. (hence plague and FA as my main attack skills...I have an upped skystrike, but that's about as good as my bows get. :embarassed: ) I was considering Plague followed by a strafe back to full mana? Would only require a high damage bow (wouldn't have to be terribly fast, just able to leech back a considerable amount) and a cracked Javelin, or the starting jav.
2) Frozen Arrow is a completely different bird...pierce (penetrate? I can't remember) is key, as is either a HUGE mana pool, or insane amounts ofleech...both of which seem harder to get than I can manage. Mana leech via strafe will probably be my mana regen again. Plague seems to have the advantage here, as a single slvl 25 plague is all you need for the next 15 secs.
3) Since I'm going to have a solid attack to keep me going (via strafe) and a solid tank (via valk) till I have the gear to support my elemental habit, I think this is a solid build that can survive on self-discovered gear, since I've only ever finished the game with a fishy...anyone have experience with both of these builds PVM?
Thanks for any input I get from you all, as always, any help is appreciated.
