actually both of these are wrong since none considers fana aura...
both weapons have identical wsm, so this is the table you need to look at:
IAS - frames
0 - 11
6 - 10
22 - 9
46 - 8
92 - 7

The new meta is Hustle on swap for Burst of Speed, then 8fpa WF only needs 72 IAS iirc.

explain this to me further please... how does hustle work? i've never seen this, I just started playing again (haven't play'd since 2014)

Hustle is a new weapon runeword that has chance to cast BoS (2 min duration) on striking. Trigger with strafe then swap to WF.

thats pretty sick...

that means you can get WF build with 8fpa and only 72 ias and have act2 merc with might+concentrate

good god thats alot of DPS off that WF

I ended up making the faith zon with act2 might + pride

100% dex points (except str for gear)... my god she smacks 8 people hell games all by her self, doesn't matter which act...
1500-8000+ straffe dmg wearing bone break and atma's scrab lol... she moes down everything

very fun build

Holy f*cking s*it thats awsome Didn’t even thought that.

WF with 92ias cup with atma amulet and CB gloves and goblin toes or gores is top PVM setup
ofc with faith 15lvl aura merc

45helm/shael wf/nosf/20iasgloves

ofc full dex and only MS

There you have the 3 best options DPS wise (would be better with 3/20/20, but for PvM are extremely expensive)

1º Faith in shadow/diamond bow, a lot better than in GMB, no KB but best DPS of all options.
2º Windforce with pride merc, second best dps but slower, with KB.
3º Windforce with faith merc, as fast as faith in hand builds with KB but less damage.

GMB is "trash", either is slower and do less DPS because of that or you need to use more IAS items to fire as fast as shadow/diamond but you do less DPS because you have worse items.
