So, I know things have changed a bit with D2r, so I am looking for some insight (no, not the runeword...)

The main thing I need to decide is between running with Windforce or Faith GmB
In the past, faith GmB was the go-to, however, it seems with the additional of runewords like Hustle and other things, Windforce is a worthy competitor.


I am mainly playing PVM - Looking for thoughts on which to go with

They’re both fun, I enjoy the higher end dmg from WF for PVM + the mana leech. Overall GMB is boring unless your pvping, WF allows for a nice change like how you mentioned the hustle RW.

A lot of what I read indicated the same, that it really comes down to preference.
I'm just looking for thoughts to help me decide 🤣

For bowa pvm i like the hybrid cold/phy damage. Pure phy sucks because there are a lot of phy inmunes. Cold is very strong but you need some phy damage to leech mana (she needs a LOT of man) and to deal with cold inmunes. I tried a lot of different bows but the best is faith gmb with infy merc.

You can take a look at my build in old d2, i show items/skills at the end.
