It is surprisingly strong. I have a mav set ice Madien and even 3p cows are a joke for 50fg char


Yeah! It's getting buffed in 2.4. YESSSS

This was a few weeks ago when I was running better gears. P8 Cows. Physical Faith bowas can't do it this fast.

This hybrid frost maiden spec is BETTER with Faith not Ice.

Here's a P1 Chaos and Cow back to back for some reference.

I need to respec for more life and just 1 point on pierce. I had this spec when I was messing with GMB Faith for fun.

But overall, this is a good spec. Just change to Atma ammy for P8 and that's it. Very easy spec. No need for any of those FRW charms or Speed Tiara.

Nice post op! Now I want to make an ice maiden. It seems you are using an ice bow in p8 difficulties even though you said you prefer faith in the first post. Are the p8 videos from before you decided to make that change?

Yes!

Made the change after. 7 Frame fully synergized freezing arrows seem to do more burst damage than 8 frame with Ice bow.

This was with Mat Faith+Pride.

I should have one with Infinity.

Infinity felt better to me

Picked up a new 15/1/3 Mat Faith on 15ED bow. Test driving it on P1 cow.

It really shines in P8 runs where I swap to Atma ammy, freezing+multishot+strafe with Reaper might merc works very well for P8 runs where typical physical bowas have trouble with.

Switched the 20FCR 4545 Tiara to Rare one with 2/20 and leech for testing.

Using Highlord+LoH and 15 from Tiara to hit 7 frame.

Works well.

Wow 46 skill points remaining? Really no place to put them?

Interesting build with hybrid fa/ms build. Got a p8 video for this build?

A couple of questions from me regarding FA:
- why use infi instead of pride? Does pride increase your FA damage or not?
- does Loh also gives extra 350% damage to demons with FA?
- would FA be a better act boss killer than GA?

Yeah I was min maxing this spec a few weeks back with my GG mat faith just someone offered too much fg for it so I sold it and got GMB. Thats why I stalled this for awhile. But GMB just didn't work for my playstyle.

See the video below for P8 Chaos Solo run.

I haven't decided on the rest of points so I didn't put them yet. I have 2 Zon Skill 2os 20FCR helm waiting for 2 1515 jewels. That might be the BiS for this build and will dictate where to put the points.

Just got that Mat Faith and respec and wanted to test drive it on P1 Chaos as I always do. For P1, the quickest way to do for bowa is to just shoot multishot. So didn't have any issue with the leftover points

Infinity scales much much better for this. It doesn't help much until boss fight in this since I can kill everything with 2 to 3 multishot. But I always host P8 Chaos runs so in P8 runs, you use FA a lot. And infinity is BiS for it, it ups FA damage a lot. Physical damage is like nothing much for actual damage. It's only for mana leech.

No, dmg tonl demon doesn't translate for more FA dmg but it's good enough for P1 runs since all you gotta do is multishot.

FA is insane burst damage with Infinity merc so it's much much much better than GA.

Damn only 500 hp at p8 games. Glass cannon at its finest.

In that video, i think you use reaper toll not infy. Isnt atmas proc will override reaper and vice versa?

Also you use GA on Diablo there. Not FA.

Im currently using lv 20 pride. But it takes forever to kill baal with GA even at p1.
