i bet, not nearly as effective as you will loose that dr, res, fhr, skill but its a nice welfare idea (i might just have to try myself wink.gif ) . its got those two sockets that you need and since it has kb you could combine it with crushing blow gloves for up to 20% chance of cb, maybe?

this is one of those chars that wont do too good if u cant spend at least 2k+ fg into it. If u cant afford a 2os coa, then u probably wouldnt be able to afford the inventory thats mandatory for the build to do any good period.

anni, torch, 20/5s, anya quests, grim spurs, p coa, runemaster, perf fort, faith... cant think of anything that adds res off the top of my head



you obviously didn't read the whole thing, since you again quotes the last line of a whole paragraph and used it as your proof but failed to quote what was said before it...fail


You clearly said you sm bmana sorcs LOL.. and you also said you don't even switch to shield when a barbs attempting to ww you. Loss any respect I had for this 8fpa bowzon build.

Just to share a couple thoughts I think Mattd90 had mentioned, that if you can't live with 8 fpa, try shadow/diamond faith and you'll hit 7 fpa with 65 IAS, I have a shadow bow and a Great bow (which only needs 50 to hit 7fpa) works great for me. You can also tweak it and go with 5 frw/5 res scs (thats major source of resists that I got from), you can use other duped boots or legit boots with huge frw+resists+ stats and still do fine. I use 3/xx/20s and 5/5 scs and 1x 451 to have some sort of poison in the equation to make it worthwhile.

The point is...try tweaking it instead of complaining about the guide, try and discover something new instead of flaming this guide....

You can also turn yourself into a hybrid by stacking eth upd titans + Ss for a change. Or use rare high ed eth javas like I do and still do decently in game.

Smiters/BvCs are still kind of a problem though, but with practice, you'll be able to nail them down.


Good Luck!
