I checked both setups: WF+Faith merc vs Diamond Faith + Might merc + Reaper's.
Patient: vita pvp bowa with 20ga, 9multi and 1 strafe. With developed synergies there may be a different result. But it is how it is, I wasn't that curious to waste 2 tokens :)
With WF I has only little bit bigger avg dmg but I have a feeling the Diamond is slightly faster, probably because of the 2x higher AR.
And still can be faster when I'll get a Pride.

My clear times were basically identical in both wf faith and faith Eth reapers. I always disliked WF for AR loss but full dex with penetrate maxed, the chance to hit was the same with faith.

Think in 2.4 WF is the top choice for PvM. I still went with faith set up at the end.

I have Pride 20 i tested and selling now. For full party game nothing beats Eth reapers telebowa

having only 1 point penetrate with a setup kinda stretched on skills, like if you want max multi/ga/strafe but also magic arrow / crit, that could be an issue that favors faith
windforce might hit something like 14k ar top end multi with only 1 point penetrate. If you're level 90 and shooting level 85 trash mobs with 1.9k ar, then that's about 90% chance to hit, you're missing an extra chunk of damage. But against a level 94 diablo with 2534 defense, that's only 83% chance to hit
if windforce is only doing a small fraction more dps than faith before %CTH, faith would be dealing more after


of course its worth noting the A1 merc faith setup with windforce still gives you 95% chance to hit against everything, including bosses, any time it casts inner sight. Which is pretty often

Imho WF works much better on telebowa, because you can bring merc to you any time.
When I was leveling my Fort-frw bowa, merc was loosing path all the time and I was shooting with 9fpa. It was quite annoying.

Oh yeah I don't do runners so no idea on that part. But yes Eth reapers Faith act 1 merc all work only on Telebowa.

Telebowa #1 hahaha

Hope everyone is enjoying the ladder! I was one of those weirdos who started as a bowzon so here's my progression. haha

Rolled a nice Mist Mat bow and started mfing Hell Chaos. I can go make Faith and all that but I decided to go budgety and enjoy the progress.

Solo Hell Chaos 2:15.

This was my first run with the new bow too.

A newly rolled Mist Mat Bow and added a few damage charms today. THEN added a decent Anni too.

Much, much better now.

Still using 2 basic 15IAS jewel in Giant Skull because I cannot for the love of God find the same color jewels that I like. 🙁

But yes, Mist is a very viable bow for hell. ONLY make it in Mat bow because you need to hit 7 frame and you can only do it with Mat Bow.

Kimsulki84 - D2R Ladder Shadow Faith Telebowa - Chaos P8 Solo Clear

Took a little under 3 minutes mark. Pretty good considering higher hp for ladder. This is with 2 10Max/AR/Lifer Grand Charms missing for picking up items.

Atma definitely feels better than highlord for P8 as usual. Just picked up Atma so finally got to run it.

I've hosted about 60 P8 chaos runs through jsp in the past 2 days and yes it works well.

P1 Chaos takes about 1:25 every time. Very quick mfing.

You can farm anywhere in the game with this telebowa. I have tgodz and another Magus Diadem with 45IAS 90Light Res so Baal farming.

Good stuff.

Bowa Forever!

i wanted to try something different for next ladder and was interested in bowa. Early builds seem budget friendly, but just curious how MF'ing feels with low MF (assuming you're running similar builds to your posts for it). Im used to having tons on Java or sorc.
