Yeah if only that #2 could go like 2 FCR bp higher... (sadge)

I gues you're right.

I have all gears basically on me. I've uploaded videos of a lot of runs with different bows and mercs already. Feel free to look through.

Looking at your clip, why is Strafe never used?
Like, it has 2 times higher damage per shot than multishot, and hits more times in certain situations.

Wouldn't mixing Strafe & Multishot be more effective at clearing?

I use both all the time (got Strafe on left click & multi on right), it seems very clear that Strafe outperforms Multishot completely when enemies stand in cone/line.

I think some people say that strafe is boring. Which to me is incomprehensible, it's the entire reason why I play bowies, lol.

I do not get it, like, 90% bowas say they don't ever use Strafe, but looking at all those p8 clips (watched many of them)
i don't get why Strafe is never used, when Bowa stands in one spot anyway, spamming that multishot endlessly to kill some mobs,
which could be killed 3 times faster with Strafe?

PS. i'm sure that telebowa has faster runs (obviously), but in terms of damage there is huge difference IMO
In all those clips telebowa takes a long time to kill stuff in p8, my runner kills everything instantly like its p1
At the cost of having to run everywhere ofc.

You can shoot several multishot off when you rotate through a single strafe. Strafe is good for couple things, single target dps, a fresh rotation to put amp on different packs before multi to clean up, straight lined up mobs like left side chaos seal boss and minions.

Multishot is the king. Strafe is just an utility skill.

You aren't killing +10 mobs faster with strafe especially without 100% pierce with GMB Faith.

Even strafing is better with Shadow because it can have 100% pierce and combo that with Atma.

Its not only straight line, Strafe does perfectly fine vs a cone of enemies, any close pack that is not spread across the screen.

Not using it at all slows down clearing speed.



You can have 90-91% Pierce with GMB Faith.

This.

I've asked THIS video to EVERY SINGLE boomer runner GMB users ever since D2R was released.

Nobody ever showed me this. I have the same gears to test too. Never quicker than telebowa spec.

Can you make a video of you solo clearing P8 Chaos like you are doing P1 and post it here?

I did GMB+Pride boomer runner here in P8. It clears fine, yes. But it feels much clunkier than telebowa spec with Shadow. Trust me I have had 100% GMB/Shadow/Mat Faith in my stash for a long time. Runner just isn't as efficient as telebowa for PvM.
