where's the difference between:
1.) Forti/Nosferatu Build/Faith Gmb
2.) 160/60/Life Armor/Ow Belt/Faith Gmb
and which one is better?
I think 160/60/Life build can be more flexible - reaching 95ias with such armor is not a problem. Then you have many options to test. If you need dr - shako, dungo works fine with their dr/life and other bonuses. If you don't need it - combination of things (ow/cb/ds) from items like draculs/cb gloves, ow belt, gores, highlord and giant skull can work godlike i think

60ias from armor, 15 from shako (or giant skull maybe? depends on the gloves, etc) + 20 from cat's or hl is enough to reach 95ias - then you have many options to exchange helm, belt, gloves, boots depending on a char which you duel. You can have good dr/life or sorb max, etc - all with 95ias reached. I don't know what will be difference in dmg, but flexibility of such build can be just great - there's no need to keep stiff equip to reach 95ias.
Personally I have similiar build to presented in this topic, but with about 16frw (3frw/5all and 3frw/11resi) scs, what works well against all ele chars. This fact + some sorb stuff give me much bigger chance to not to die with such low life (i have ~930 or something) against these chars. Ofc I have less max dmg (about 1k at all), but I enjoy being full resi at hell and running fast (about 140frw with bow, 170 on switch), really. Ofc when I duel ele chars I use Sanctuary instead of Storm 20fhr+70res works better.
Btw. in this guide author says, that his ama has good frw - it has not as far as i see. No frw charms (2 x passive = 14frw only) + 30 from cat's + 25(?) from wt + 30 from titans = about ~100 on switch, that's really NOT what i call fast ama - that's just my opinion.
