He is right. Your build is badly optimized. I agree they should precise why, but you really need to stop taking everything they say personally.
Anyway, here some of the points why your build need to be reworked and optimized:
First, you dont hit fastest IAS breakpoints with Guided, you want 95% IAS from gear with GMB Faith assuming you have 14+ Fanaticism aura.
Second, you have no LL so no sustain and no ML which means you will OOM instantly after a few shots. Forget about HoW and wisp ring and get a Dual Leech ring.
Third, you have no helm. I'm guessing you forgot to put it in your list. Go with a 45 IAS Helm.
Fourth, Faith has Ignore Target Defense, which means you will always hit enemies even with 1 AR. No need of Enchant from Demon Limbs, unless you want that minor +Fire damage.
Fifth, yes ITD does not work on Boss, but that is why you use Guided. Guided = guaranty hits. It will move back and forth on the boss until the arrow hit the Boss. No need to boost AR either.
Sixth, Merc has no LL with Guilly, Fortitude and Pride. He is your front line. If he cannot sustain the damage he will die instantly. Put Andy on him.
You have a right to an opinion about how people should act, but I reserve my right to renounce any attempt to manipulate my behaviour. I know my build works.
I am not the one that should stop taking everything so personally, it is THEY that should start acting more -classy- and not attack me personally at every single opportunity they get! Every normal functioning human being would notice this immediately. I never treat people like shit, unless being treated like shit first, do I? And it's not just me either, it is a lot of newbs and others being treated like shit.
I've been through this with probably hundreds of people over the last 5-7 years, and also all the moderators. But they don't care about it, so I've stopped answering like this and just report their posts, and legally encourage others to do the same through my signature. It is the only and most efficient way to fight these evil psychopaths legally.
So now you know how things really work around here. Also, even if someone does know something other's don't, they are not entitled to act like pieces of shit just because of it. Just like in real life. You can't buy class, it must be taught through subconscious psychosocial behaviour mirroring, which is why I don't quit, because I believe there is hope for everyone. I believe in the goodness of the heart.
1) GA is mostly for bosses only, and you don't need 95% IAS for only the boss fight, which is 3-5% of the run. Iirc, Strafe maxes out at 20% IAS, even with level 12 Fanatisicm, so the 20% from Loh is enough.
2) That's true, for once a decade I forgot. Use ML or dual leech ring for second option. Keep Raven, because CBF is important.
3) Helm is always up for debate, but I guess the 3a magic circlet with an additional modifier and damage jewels is the better option, if you like having low resists.
4) It helps against champions and boss monster packs, against which ITD does not work. So having a little more AR along with a small Fire damage boost, preferably on you and your merc, which will then hit even more often, dealing more damage, I assume will speed your run up by about 1-2%. In the long run, it makes a very small but not totally insignificant difference.
5) Why you write that? I wrote that. It is why I recommend GA on bosses. It's slower, but always hits, and deals more damage.
6) It is true, I should mention it, but if you use Valkyrie and/or Decoy, or even just play normally and pot your merc, you will kill enemies so fast, and your merc more often than not won't even reach the enemies before they are dead, so he could just wear a crushing blow helmet instead to speed up boss fights. Also, as i mentioned, and that you just so vainly skipped, Andy's is level 85, not everyone takes the time to level to 85 before they start playing a new character, and a good polearm weapon usually has high strength requirement, so for that reason, Guillaume's face is a good choice -if- you got a little bit of gameplay experience.
So, I do know my shit, and won't be answering any more in this thread.
