Unsynergized FA only adds about 300+ cold damage which won't cut it in Hell.
works great for me, but i only use it vs phys/lightning immunes and to protect my merc. i don't need it to kill many mobs.

LF is fine on its own as long as you have good pierce but it won't be that powerful when faced with single tough monsters.
why should it? i have 4 attacks to choose from, so i can use the best for a given situation.

MS by itself won't cut it against few tough monsters... it would consume a lot of mana and is only at 3/4 damage.
it kills them just fine. see my "ms > all bow skills" thread. you might want to try it first before making statements like this, as everything you said about ms is false:
won't cut it against few tough monsters: yes it does.
consumes a lot of mana: not for me. i use it to regain mana after FA, GA or LF.
"only" 3/4 damage: i already kill most things in 3-4 shots.

Having variety of attacks is good but you thin yourself out in the process.
Of the attacks i use only FA and LF have synergies, but they do their job well so why would they need synergies?

Better to stick with two types but then again you meet monsters with immunities to both your attacks.... :scratch:
i do fine. things die. dual immunities are no problem either.
maybe this will clear things up:
if my attacks were in percentages:
60% LF
20% GA
15% MS
5% FA
But, of those above, actual kills are:
75% LF (all except lightning immunes and bosses)
20% GA (bosses that didn't die to LF, which are less than 1/3)
5% MS (Lightning immunes)
3% FA (lightning/phys immunes)
2% Valk/Merc (meatbags, but sometimes get kills)
I don't know why you critisized me for using these skills, as i don't use them much at all as LF and minions account for over half the kills anyway. but, by having FA/MS, i can take care of lightning immunes, and lightning/phys immunes as well that another build without them would be forced to flee.
