i would disagree with the scarab in favour of cat's eye.

There is no need for the 20IAS on Cats eye. The 30 FRW and the 25 dexterity from Cats is totally outshined by -100% physical resist monsters get after Amp has triggered.

and i would never put anything in any elemental skills, since phys is not a very common immunity and in the event that it does show up, it's easy to have something on switch that deals element damage, ie hellrack, ie buriza etc.

The 1 point spend in FA is worth it imo. It freezes the monsters and gives you time to a) get away from a tough spot b)finish monsters off/injuring them badly.

Hellrack has to high str req imo, 163str and both Hellrack and Buriza are crossbows, aka slowbows.

if you really wanted to get cute, since this build is entirely PvM, why no mention of Wrath? mass dmg to demons and undead and decrep on hit. paired up with LoH or gravepalm you're tearing shit apart pvm.

Well, this is a Windforce-guide. Wrath certainly has it uses and with the cost of making a Wrath, I would have build my bowama around it, but as said..this is a Wf-guide.

I'm very curious how you would suggest us tweaking this guide to allow for Hardcore play.

I would assume you would be more kindly to maybe 75 added vitality and 20 life sc's than a standard soft core build correct?

I am just trying to figure it out because yeah typically I'd go all dex all dmg but in hardcore...well shit happens and you die easy with no vit hehe.

For Hardcore, this build would be dangerous as it is now.But with that said, I dont die very much in softcore, I actually cant remember when the last time was, I havent played much bow in HC, mainly javas. But for HC, its a different ballpark. I would (ofc) sacrifice some of the 10max and 3max charms with life/res charms. And tune down dexterity, I would defently go for CTA on switch(i dont need it for SC) and aim for around 1200+ life.

what if you choose to use breath of the dying hydra or crusader (60 ias)? would the rest of the gear be completely different? assuming you still use a faith helper.

Some of the gear would be different yes. This because of the extra IAS from BoTD.

How do you feel about one of the rings being a magic ring with 8% LL & 19 strength? I'm at lvl 85 and have almost 400 dex.
