There are many people who don't understand how Strafe works. Thanks to ^SinsOfTheSun, I've learned it a couple of days ago. Now let me share what I've learned.
The following is all you need to know, if you prefer concise version:
Code
Minimum Arrows min( [slvl/4] + 2 , 10)
Maximum Arrows min(slvl+3 , 10)
Next Delay (Frames) 4
Let's break them down a bit.
slvl stands for Skill level here.
Now look at min( [slvl/4] + 2 , 10). If your Strafe's lvl is 4, then 4/4 = 1, plus 2, then you'll get 3. Then there is min(), which takes the smaller one. In this case, min(3, 10), 3 < 10, so you'll get 3 in the end. This is the numbers how many bows you can shoot in one cycle.
Therefore, you need lvl 32 Strafe if you want to shoot 10 arrows ((32/4)+2=10) for 1 shot.
Maximum Arrows min(slvl+3 , 10) is the same and easy to achieve.
Then why you need 10 arrows per cycle? This is because your Beginning and Finishing moves are slower, but moves in between are much faster.
The following is ^Babun1024 's 7fpa example:
https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=103632427&f=148&p=65997791730+45+40+20 = 135 IAS, and lvl 1 Fanat and BoI on top. You only need 40 IAS for 7FPA when BoI is activated for Guided Arrow/Multiple Shot.
(BTW, I'd go with GMB in this chase, because 86 IAS offers 7FPA under the same condition)
But do you remember? We're checking Strafe, not GA/Multiple Shot!
Babaun's setup: MB 135 IAS = 4+(2)+6, and lvl 23 Strafe (if maxed). Then min(23/4+2, 10) = 7, the result is:
4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 6
My setup:
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/bi2tw09tColossus Crossbow 40IAS = 8+(5)+13, and lvl 32 Strafe. Then min(32/4+2, 10) = 10, the result is:
8, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 13
Hm... Babun's setup looks better than mine, even for Strafe? NO. Let us remember the last part of the spec: Next Delay (Frames) 4
What does this mean at all? You hit a monster, then you have to wait for another 4 frames, then you can hit with another arrow, otherwise your arrow(s) will always miss(or be not calculated if they hit or miss at all). So 5 FPA is the best attacking speed for Strafe.
Babun's setup:
4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 6
g, n, n, g, n, n, g
Here g means good to be checked, n means nope. So only 3 out of 7 will be checked if they hit or not, vs 1 monster like Diablo.
Mine:
8, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 13
g, g, g, g, g, g, g, g, g, g
See? 10 out of 10 will be checked.
Colossus Crossbow offers almost 40% more dmg than GMB(not MA), and hits way more than GMB with Strafe. This is the reason why I've chosen it as my Bow vs Ubers.
(Don't get me wrong here. Babun's setup is for GA/MA. It's a totally different build from mine.)
I hope I have some time tonight to challenge Big-Ubers!
You don't miss anything because there is never a single target in ubertrist and windforce does massive dmg against demons if you wear LoH. I still think you'll fail in your endeavor und you just jab them with dracs and gobllin toes on.
