I am trying to get a little better understanding of how to make a Guardian stone work best with strafe bowazon using faith

I have a IAS / ED jewel i wanted to potentially mix in giant skull with protector stone, from reading an older post about the bug it sounds like the order of the jewel placement matters? Which order should i put them in to get the best utilization of the stats?

Would i be better off just putting the uber jewel in a GFACE and losing the IAS / ED jewel?

Yes, the order matters.
Be sure to put the stone last, otherwise the ED on the jewel will be completely ignored.
Detailed bug mechanics on my profile.
Cheers.

thanks

is faith still impossible to beat? Haven't given bowzons any thought since rotw. Imagine windforce with that stone jewel could be juicy?

When using Protector Stone, does it only affects ED/Min-Max jewel or any ED/Etc jewel?

it does sound like it could be pretty good but i think i would need to switch around some other gear as well not just the helmet (currently using gface)
from reading other peoples debates on the topic it sounds like you would still losing some attack speed dropping faith if i understood it right

the other thing is our group on HC would be losing fanatacism but it sounds like in next season you can just get it with haphasto bound demon from hell forge (you can still get it now but we are using conviction from heph which will turn to fanta next season)
