Faith - Which bow to make it in? Hydra good enough?

Or should one use Matri/Gm with +3 skills one?

Feel free to put your 0.02 here.

I would stick it in a Crusader bow, same average damage as Hydra w/ lower req. You also get style points!

and higher min dmg!

The best platform to make a Faith in is Grand Matron Bow with 3 skills.

I, personally, like it in a -10 base speed bow. Then you only need 45% ias to reach the last breakpoint. (This lets me do things like wear a 'dream' helm.)

If you want big dmg: +3 GMB (strafe/GA for PvM)
If you want big speed: +3 Mat (Multi)

Just my $.02...

Grand Matron Bow!! good damage and looks cool, what more could you want...oh yes an Ohm & Jah rune.

Has anyone ever tried making a faith in a Shadow Bow? I still say that dream is useless for a bowa .

Edit: You could also try a diamond bow if you like steady dmg.

is it true that it's easier to reach 7fps if u have a lvl 15 fana on the grand matron?

No. With auras 13-15 you need 95% ias, with aura 12 you need 100% ias.

Well in my opinion its better on a matriarchal bow, because you get a lot more equipment flexibility which will benefit you a lot, however im aware most ppl think that gmb is better. So i suppose its just a matter of what are you going to wear.

the problem with GMB/Matri is that it's amazon only...
I mean, if i had the funds to make such a runeword, due to its high price, i would make it in a non-class-specific item so i could use it on my hunters/rangers/whatever as well.
(I'd personally make it out of a diamond bow, since i love high min dmg, but then it would get almost worthless to most ppl, so it wouldn't be tradeable)

But that's really a matter of taste.
