A ZvT against a C/C Trapper is a pretty equal match up

Diamond Faith only requires 65%ias and virtually has the same exact average damage output as a Faith GMB
(((Check this thread to see damage tests ran with GMBs and Diamonds --> http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=59627570&f=87)))
This allows you to wear a Rare Diadem rather than a 45/120
Here is why a Rare Diadem is better:

+2 Skills = speaks for itself
+30 possible STR
+20 possible DEX
+20 possible All Resistance
30 frw
2 sockets = that will be used for 40/15ias

The +stats are directly equivalent to total life value
So +50 between str/dex on an amazon is worth +50 vitality
+50 vitality on an amazon is worth +150 life, after BO that's more like +250
+20 All Resistance is clearly a vital boon in ZvA
the 2x 40/15ias results in a total of 80%ed
80%ed + 30 str or +20 dex basically results in this:
* 110%ed for jabbing and throwing
* 100%ed for bowing

The 45/120 is deceiving
The stats on a Rare Diadem virtually give it as much ed% as a 45/120
But also grants many more important bonuses



Even if you play europe and have access to bugged belts
I would still suggest Diamond Faith as it has virtually the same dmg output as a GMB
and the reduced requirement for ias + bugged belt = difficult to knock away your 7fpa with slow %
Like a Nosferatu's or Arach's 10% slow target would not be enough slow to stop your 7fpa if you used a Diamond with 92% ias over a GMB

Basically, slow% screws you when you're using a GMB Faith due to it's stiffer requirement for IAS


You can't count +stats as ed%, then also count them as +life...

There are about 6 guys on East that can beat me as my Amazon in a GM ft5
They know who they are, I know who they are and you are not one of them


Can Bui (Azn_Master) beat you ft5?

He is actually right on this
+Attributes simpley allows you to drop the base amount you've added and then add that to more vitality
And still meet the base attribute requirements for your gear

Essentially, +30 str gets turned into +30 vita
Unless you just want to stack str stat, in that case it functions as +30 str

When he uses c/c on Bui, we go back and forth
If he uses weapon/shield on Bui, he'll win every time
Azn_Master is 1 of 2 powerful sins left on East that still can stomp down on a good bowa if they really want to
Myrddrall9 is the other

I'd need about 40% more frw in my inv than I already have to get serious vs their weapon/shielding
That or allow myself to STR bug my zon's gear so that I benefit much mor desynch, that could also work
But it won't happen because I'm strange and like my characters to not be STR bugged ^^
