hustle bow on switch wont help your windforce attack speed

windforce bp are at 56 (10) 89 (9) 147 (8). windforce + hustle armor give 80ias, so you need 9ias more for 9 frames and 67ias more for 8 frames, which could be done by 20 gloves + 20 amulet (highlord or cats) + 2x 15ias jewel in helm
for strafe the bp are 80 120 157. 120ias is reached by simply 20 gloves + 20 amulet, 157 needs an additional 37ias so either 3x 15ias jewel in helm or 2x 15ias in helm an 10ias belt (goldwrap or nosferatu)
ofc you can use socket on windforce for 15 or 20 ias as well, giving you more options/less restrictions on other slots


EDIT: ok found my mistake, hustle bow on switch gives BOS proc... with that, calculations look different:
strafe is trivial, max bp is reached with 80 ias (windforce and hustle). single shot need 138ias total, so 58 ias more (likely to be 20+20+2x15 or just 3x20 with gloves amu shael in bow)

I'm using Hustle armor as well. So, 40%ias there plus LoH = 60% = gg?

with BOS procced:
strafe max bp is at 78ias (20 bow + 60 armor, done).
normal attack is at 138ias (60 armor + 20 bow =80, so 58 more needed). the additional 58ias can be reached by multiple ways: i suggest 20 gloves (e.g. LoH), 20 amu (highlords or cats) and then another 20 which can be either a shael rune in bow or 2x 15ias jewels in bow/helm or 1x 15ias jewel and 10ias belt (nosferatu or goldwrap)
