Question. Faith BOTD hydra/crusader or just WF for strafeazon?

i need advice. whats best? and also what helm do you guys suggest? I can afford almost all that´s out there such as the weapons and forti, but not all uberjewels.

Faith + GM Bow = p\/\/N3d

That's my 2 cents. If you decide to use something else later, I'd reccommend putting Faith in a Crusader or Hydra bow, so an Act 1 Merc can use it.

I´ve been thinking about a faith GMB, and a pride for boosting dmg even more? or is that just waste of runes?

That's what I use and it works great.

throw a faith on an act 1 merc and use a wf socketed with a dam/ias jewel....you will have to pay close attention to your merc all the time....it is tricky keeping her close to you and alive....they can do some amazing damage by themselves at high lvls too

You don't even need faith on a merc to reach the max BP with strafe. Just use WF.

maybe you can list the equipment needed to reach 8/2 strafe with a wf...i'll help you out its a base speed 10 bow...157 ias required...it can't be done easily....remember you want max damage so a fort is a must

Superdave is correct in that it is not easy at all. I thought it was 147% but doesn't really matter. What does matter is that 8/2 is only a hair faster than 9/2 so why bother. A 9/2 strafe is incredibly fast therefore it would be silly to not use a WF. Way more damage with fortitude than a faith GMB. Advantage of faith is to hit 8 and 7 frame multi attacks, not to hit a strafe breakpoint which is basically meaningless. USE A WINDFORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no it is 157(147 is for a normal 8 frame attack)...and you are right 9/2(120 ias) is more reasonable and can still be achieved without an act1 merc...and i do concur...the wf is still the uber bow to use on a strafer epecially if you a rich and can afford a 40/15
