should i go with a ap fort or ap 160-60 with life ?

Are you making a bowazon?

If so I think it comes to preference. I prefer fort, dmg, life, resistance. 160/60 can be nice if the base has a lot of life. Kinda depends on your playing style and what you're fighting but overall I say fort.

It's not preference at all
Fortitude adds much more damage, much more life, resistance, way more defense, chilling proc, +5% to max light res and +7 life rep

You always use Fortitude on a Bowazon
and yes, it's still easy to achieve maximum 7fpa with any bow, while using Fortitude

forty for bowa

Yeah you're sacrificing all these things


for 60% attack speed (unnecessary unless you're trying to hit max frame on an Amp bow/Windforce or whatever else is inferior to Faith).

Use a Fortitude and figure out how much IAS you need to hit 7 Frame with whatever base your Faith is in. Generally builds involving Mat Bows (55IAS) and Diamond/Shadow Bows (65IAS) have more survivability than a 95IAS GMB setup.
