since you have 55% chance to cast firestorm (0,6 seconds delay) and compareably low physdam

just those two thinkgs simply spell lost damage and a hell lot of that

Firesorm on phoenix is really really bad thing. And multiply shot > strafe..

Not sure on 55% CtC (i am assuming you are adding in the Torch with Phoenix)
0.6 sec delay is not bad, considering that Firestorm is still doing damage. Now if
you it was 0.6 delay without any damage at all, then I would not have chosen
it as a weapon.

Anyway, just a Guide.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



true, on Firestorm, but, this guide was created before they patched the Lagg Dupe method near the end of 1.10 season.
As for Multi being greater than Strafe, it is a matter of Preference.

If you have 24 Arrows from Multi, the 2 centre arrows are the only ones that cast any Procs, so the others are just dmg.
Multi shot is a mana guzzler, and since Freezing Arrow is a mana guzzler too, and only the 2 centre arrows receive the procs,
you will be potting mana alot more than normal, or you have to use alot of Mana Leech items.
Also, Multi's best attribute is the Spread and no "w8ing" time.

Strafe is best in Tunnels/Corridors, versus a single boss for getting a greater return on LL/ML, each arrow casts every proc.

But again, it is just a matter of Preference.

firestorm does not only cause the game to crash but makes you loose damage

with a torch and phoenix you have a 55% chance to cast firestorm
with phoenix only 40% with torch 25%

there is a basic chance of 40% to cast it with phoenix, the remaining 60% can still have the effect of 25% casting from the torch
- 25% of 60=15
40% + 15% = 55%

assuming you have a 3 frame strafe, you fire 8-9 arrows per second

now if a firestorm is triggered, you have to wait 0,6 seconds or 15 frames before you fire again

in this time, however you could fire 5 arrows if there would not be the firestorm

hence it follows that you ~ fire 1 or 2 arrows, trigger the firestorm and miss out on additional 5 arrows

the lvl 22 firestorm without synergies, does 321-357 fire damage asverage fire damage of 339
an upped wws deals up to 89 - 108 weapon damage witrh no sockets filled =89 avdam
just firing 5 arrows in the time when you wait will mean 445 average damage, not even regarding off wepaon ed, ds,crit whatsoever (nor looking at ad on strike)

@ multi versus strafe: multi get`s groups faster also fire a densely spread multi through a tunnel=several arrows of the same multi hit the same monster--- adds up damage, there are other means of fighting bosses than either of the two and manaleach is easily acquired

@ anyway it is just a guide.....
it is no guide at all just some badly done idea

Yes, but do you always going mf in maggot lair?
Think the most of time multi is better, there are only few situacions when strafe is better, it is when few mob are around you... anyway nice guid

you say defense rule son a zerker... funny
you say cast delay rules
you say warcry sucks .. ^^ should I go into more details... lol`ed

in the time that you strafe through a corridor, you can get 2-3 attacks per second.. with your mouse you can manage the spreading of the arrows...
and thus make a very narrow field of multi which leads to several arrows per multi hitting the targe...

you may get a 3 frame strafe, but you you can as well get 3+ arrows hit a monsters with multi and you can get more than 3 attacks per second with multi.........


by the way.. pierce means that the arrow actually pierces the target.. if you plays at 100% pierce all arrows pierce the target and not 9 of 10 and then 8 ofg 9 with the next monster

is this another venture into your dreamworld
