Currently I’m running a basic windforce setup with harmony on switch and a act 1 faith merc. I prefer using cats eye over atmas. Currently I’m using magic arrow for physical immunes, but I’ve been looking for another way (other than atmas) to break physical immunes so I can spend those 20 points in magic arrow elsewhere. I was looking at the runewords and noticed that wrath has chance to cast decrepify. I’m curious if anyone has tried using this on switch in place of harmony for immunes? If so how well does it work and does it break the majority of physical immunes? I’ve also been considering upping a witchwild and trying that, curious if anyone has tried this as well. Since it has chance to cast amp I’d assume it’s as effective as atmas is. Also open to any other physical immune solutions pll have come up with other than atmas.

That’s just moving points from magic arrow to freezing arrow. I’m trying to use those points elsewhere, like to boost ar or defensive passive skills. Most people seem to like using atmas for this, by using atmas you don’t have to invest points into a skill to deal with immunes but I like cats eye and wanna find another way to achieve the same affect. Gonna try out a witchwild on switch tonight after work and see how well that works.

Use strafe and atma's scarab. You'll run a little bit slower but you'l deal much more damage and plow right through physical immunes too. Boss fights go quicker too.

It's not just the frw (which I love) I need the ias to hit my breakpoint. Why I'm trying to find a work around for now so I can go ahead and use those skill points elsewhere.

I don't need the damage from the wrath, just need to proc decrepify and then. Switch back to my windforce.

That's why it's better to use strafe. Deals just as much damage and is just as fast without needing all the ias. Just plays a little bit differently but that's just a matter of adaptation.

I tried atmas when I first got to higher lvls and equiped my good gear. Didn't really like it to much but maybe I'll give it another shot.

I just got home and tried the witch wild idea. It does indeed work but it can take a while to proc with only 2% chance.

The reason i recommend strafe is that every arrow carries proc chance, whereas with multishot, only the middle 2 arrows does.
