Kinda going piece by piece so trying to figure out what to prioritize. I've I've most of the cheap stuff but trying to decide if I wanna try and make a fort first or save up for a faith. Although I'm thinking of running wf with a faith merc or is pride the better option. I know they are super expensive to make overall and it's gonna take time. But I just love em.

Windforce + fortitide, I think.

Also much cheaper than faith.

Strongest - pride a2 merc + faith on yourself
Very close behind - faith on merc, windforce (mist should be similar too) on yourself
Fortitude is a given if you run, but I’ve read guides/videos based on enigma and I’m sure it works too, but I’m hardcore and not too rich so….

Wf and faith on merc slaps hard, two shots trash mobs in chaos.

I will caveat my guided hits 9.6k and multi hits 7.2k

That's what I was thinking as well. Pretty sure I can get a Lo now vs a ways off from Faith.



What /p is that at, just solo? I'm sure it will take me a long time to get that kinda damage but it sounds exciting.

What about strafe?

Do people even use strafe at all? All I have heard about bowies are guided and multi shots.

Up to P3 is 2-3 shot, but melts mobs in P8 also. I run fortitude and it’s a glass cannon, so no vita… but any damage I take is insta healed from leech. Fun break from using the meta builds like hammer, Java, light Sorc etc..

WF, fort, cats eye, nosferatu, Raven, war travs, dual leech ring, LoH gloves and a G Skull helm w/ 30ias/50ed until I figure out something better. Also throw a level 14/15 aura faith on merc.

I don’t use strafe, just not fun imo..

You can use anything. Strafe + atma's scarab + ignore target's defense + 100% pierce = Win. Or at least high amount of attack rating.
