So guys, it might seem like a dumb question since GMB has significantly more damage but forces you to drop guillaumes and change it for 45IAS helm and swap razortail for nosferatus

regarding PVM, players 1 to 5

do you think it would be better afterall or is it only worth changing if you have atleast a decent 45/120 helm?

and keep in mind that helm choose would be something like mavinas because i cant aford a decent 45ias helm

If she is a Forti zon and if you don't want to do monkey business with Hustle then GMB or WF.
Gface is not a good choice for bowazon. 15%ds is worth 4.5% if we assume that you have crit chance at 70%. CB has some range weapon penalty.

I like GMB for the damage, especially as you get into higher player counts. Also, GMB doesn't necessarily force you to go for 95ias, unless you're dead set on 7fpa multi/guided. Very little ias is needed to hit the max strafe breakpoint if you're willing to prioritize that skill instead.

Gface is not a good choice for bowazon. 15%ds is worth 4.5% if we assume that you have crit chance at 70%. CB has some range weapon penalty.

Agreed. Working toward a helm with jewels that increase damage or attack speed would probably be better depending on what your build needs.

thanks alot for the inputs guys, so that means im just wasting time with guillaumes, even andariels visage would be better or vampires gaze
