Gear/effects Question

Currently I'm using Atmas+Dracs and i'm wondering if bot ctc effects work on the mobs. and if not which should I use, which should i change and what sshould i change it for.

I'm also using
Faith Mat
AP Fort
Shael'd Vgaze
2x Rfrosts
Nos Coil
Gores

and i have
waterwalks, highlords, and cats eye in my inventory.

Got a balanced mix of Vit+Dex, but about 90 more hard dex

What's your main attack? Strafe? or Multi? Also, what is the fana lvl of you faith? You will need at least 45IAS (for lvl14 or 15 fana) to reach fastest strafe or multi (7 frame). The only IAS I see in you gears is Nos (10 IAS). I would suggest:

Vgaze--> Stealskull or Andy's, I don't need you need the small DR on Vgaze.
Nos coil--> razortail if you want 100% peirce
Dracs-->LoH or craft glove (20IAS/knock back/other goodies). Lifetap is good but I don't think you need it as you have strong attack (faith+fortitude+act2 merc I guess) and good defense (valk, decoy, and your merc).
Ammy--> I like atmas as it has amp to deal with the physical immune. Highlords/cats eye both work as well.
Gore--> gore is good. You can also consider war traveler (the lowly +damage mod will translate to couple hundred damage after your fana/dex/fortitude).

My setup:
Faith MB (14/2/3)
Fort
LoH glove (20IAS)
Stealskull (socket 15%IAS, so, total 25%).
Atma ammy (as I already have 45% IAS, no more is needed)
1xraven+1xrare ring
Low MF war trav
Razortail (give dex, damage, and peirce).

Having a act2 merc with insight. I can multi all day long

Razortail is played out, i'm sticking with nos.
I strafe not multi.
Faith is 15/1 in a +3 mat.
You didn't really answer my question.
Do Dracs+Atmas ctc effects work at the same time.

Lol, sry, forget your main question. No, they won't work at the same time. They will overwrite each other. It is just like the curse when you play necro. Atma is good for more aggressive play style and dracul is good for more defensive style. Just curious, any particular reason to use nos? for the 10%slow, 10%IAS or LL?

I see you have 15 fana. If you want the fastest strafe (which is the one big advantage of faith because of the fana aura), you still need another 35% somewhere. My suggestion will be the glove (easy 20 IAS) and socket 15% IAS somewehre (helm is the only place you can socket since you already have fort/faith for weapon and armor spots).

Anyway, I'm not trying to ask you to use my settings (where is the fun of that). But, just some kindly suggestions

Cheers!

lvl 2 amp and lvl 10 life tap. the closest thing to coming off together is when the outer mobs are cursed with life tap and the inner mobs are cursed with amp =)

I went with Lavagout instead of dracs, and unsocketed my gaze and put in a 15 ias jewel that's 45% now.

Lavagouts works too. It will add small fire damage and some fire resist and enchant on striking. As you are using faith (fana aura), your AR should be pretty good (also, you already have lots of dex and many some points in penetration). My ar is >10K with lvl14 fana MB. Try yourself for Laying of Hand. It is cheap and effective (20 IAS, even bigger fire resist and '+350% Damage To Demons"). Lots of demons in the game

My 2 cents.

Haha, that is true. I don't notice the radius difference. However, when you use strafe, you send the arrow all over the place, I don't think you can control which monster to hit, which not.
