One thing I forgot to mention, is the multi build absolutely requires cold damage for safety and poison damage to prevent monster hp regen

Poison damage sources: bows, worm skull, snake cord

Cold damage sources: rare belts, amulets, bows

The multi shot build should push for 600-700 multi shot damage, and 85%+ chance to hit, I recommend level 83 minimum for effective csing

It's ok to sacrifice godly rare item slots for set combos with attack rating boosts because that'll give you more damage than a few extra DeX points

Should finish with 50-70 ias, cold damage, poison damage, and massive attack rating

Theres some wierd shit with server side ias I dont know the details on, so not sure what optimal speed actually is for multiplayer

That's a good input from Sagittarius.
I think I might revisit my build.

But one thing however, concerning Penetrate against Strafe.
19 more points into Penetrate (maxing it) would boost chance to hit from 85% to 94%, taking Urdar River of flame for target reference, with char level 87 (my current level).
19 more points into Strafe would boost damage from *5.53 to *6.48 (currently having 438 dext).

first choice = +10.6% damage
second choice = +17% damage

I stay confident on the fact that more into Strafe can be better than more into Penetrate.

On the other hand, I should probably invest a little more into Pierce, and probably Critical also. There's a balance needed to be found here...

The choice for Decoy is only a personal playstyle. Valkyrie is not supposed to kill anything (she has no real weapon), but get a good boost to life and resistance via Decoy.
And as a glass canon, Decoy helps not being targeted by any monster.

SC nn decoy

in the pros HC decoy gonna need

if u do follow bot runs well. Then you suck. Might as well move to the ever popular "outlevel Kurt with leach wand zon" method.


aslo here is a shocker. Ur decoy uses same gear as you. SO if u actually know what your doing and push your build AKA 30 resist all. Your decoy will get slammed, but you will mass rape damage.

however....if you have a tank bowzon, your decoy will be amazing. but you will suck ass to massive levels and kurt and the rest of the server will laugh at you LELELELELL.
