Buggedbelt does indeed make FOI viable
But if I was on Europe, I would just use normal GMB Faith for maximum bowside damage output

cos damage is only thing that matters on bowzon, so having maximum damage output makes you good player


imo amp + 7ll + 20% ar + additional psn > 50ed and slightly lower min/max

yes but often it hits with the following 1-2 arrows after amp is activated and many don't give up the pursuit even when ampd

Obviously FOI.
~23 less avg dmg turns out to be maybe 400 less avg dmg. (A whole 30 pvp dmg after 50% dr.)
That extra DS and ability to swap amulet or socket in helm, or even stack ias vs slow, outshines that dmg.
And you'll get max ias on swap anyway, so that's not an issue. (rare ias javelins or ias jewel in storm with titans)

If the deadly strike increase is better than the increase in damage, why is everyone using war travs over gores when its more or less the same trade off :P

Ias isn't enough to stack vs slow, you have like 115 ias bowslot with foi using standard items and you need 130 ias iirc to stack vs 10% slow on GMB.

IAS jewel in storm and 75% ias on bowslot would give you the speed needed on javs i guess but losing the -req jewel could cause you to lose str bug by having to stat more str.

FOI could be good on some builds imo, and if it was the same price as a normal faith I think we'd see more builds utilising it on europe.. but its just not worth it as it is.
