Guillarme works pretty good with strafe. If multishot got proc chance only in the middle (2 arrow), strafe could proc from every arrow.
Im in luck with AR now (for A4), so Im going for some tests with AR.

Are you sure about that part with Multi? I heard about this few times but nobody can confirm that is true for sure in d2r.

Well, its an old mechanic from d2, and I dont think that blizz ruined it. But I also got no proof from blizzpost, or smthng like that.
Its not hard to test, just put guillarme on, and use multishot with a teammate to control monsters health. I dont know how it works in PVP, but maybe its an another way to check this.

Haha, Blizz already has ruined a lot of old mechanics Ask pvp people

What's the deal with this obsession for 8 fpa. Just be happy with 9 or 10.

Not eight, seven is the way 10fpa is not enjoyable at all.

Budget is budget. But you can still enjoy the game.

Eaglehorn, socket with perfect skull or whatever needed
Kira's guardian, 3 socket circlet of dexterity or life with same jewels as recommended for armor
4 socket armor of dexterity or life, with damage/resist/ias jewels, crow caw, treachery, any exceptional unique
Laying of hands
War travelers

Atma's scarab
Raven frost
Dual leech ring, or another raven frost or useful rare ring

Use level 23 enchant charges from demon limb to boost attack rating for boss packs and champions.

Focus on having max damage grand charms, frw, resists, life.

Consider using strafe instead of multishot to benefit more from the 5% ctc amplify damage charges on atma's scarab.

Just bought windforce and game changed.
Like in the song "I've got the power" :)

But I have to rebuild it a little, and spend more points into magic arrow for magic immunes. Barbarian a5 with lawbringer is useless and really stupid :)

Ive got a question about mercenary.

Now Im playing with A5 merc +lawbringer. He really a great boss-killer for me.
For example, yesterday he debuffed diablo so hard, that EVERY arrow from strafe hits it, and it died extremely fast.

Good variant is to pick A2 merc with might, but I cant calculate real bonus to my dmg with his aura.
For example, if I have forti (+300% ED bonus) and might gives me +100% what bonus would I get?

The general formula is
{(base damage) * (1 + on-weapon ed)) + max/min} * (1 + off-weapon ed + str/dex bonus + skill bonus + aura bonus)

Bows get 0 bonus damage for str and 1 for dex, so 200dex it's like 200enhanced damage.
