WWS vs Skystrike

[tolteckian]

This ia a very noobie question, but have a wws sheal/sheal and a skystrike and when I equipe them the damage calculated for the skystrike reads aprovimately 300 on MA and 180 for wws on MA.
When I use them it seem that wws kills things faster than skystrike whats the deal? Does deadly strike make up the difference?
WWS is at the moment the best that I have and I was wondering how far that can take me I at level 45 with razortail belt, natalia boots, skills of the victor armor, peasants crown helm until I can use Tal Rashes helm, bloodfist gloves.... any recomendations for a noobie would be appreciated.
Thanks

Use WWS over Skystrike. It is much better and can be an end game bow. Skystrike is not. Amp damage and deadly strike on WWS is very nice.

The WWS has a level 20 MA built in but if you use your own MA skill, it will override the Level 20 on the bow. But note if you use normal arrows and use the Level 20 MA on the bow, I don't believe it will not show you the AR/Damage boost. Thus, it would appear that the Skystrike (in itself a nice bow by the way) does better than the WWS. Also there is that chance to cast amplify damage on WWS will will certainly boost your damage.

any help and recomendations for the armor I have cats eye but not at level 50 yet... any help would be appreciated

EDIT:Oh Im sorry I meant multi arrow not magic arrow.... and is it really good enough to use as an end game bow considering the damage??

WWS? Yes it's a lovely bow. You'll be wanting to up it if you want to use it as end game equip though.

Even an upgraded skystrike can't compare to exceptional WWS

guaranteed double damage + 2x shael + tight damage range > anything that skystrike can offer

also 250 lightning damage means nothing in nightmare/hell

Sorry ahead of time asking this question but Upping it??? Im neubie... How do you double the damage??

And if you might answer the other question about the armour what is a good set for bowazon. Thnakd for the replies...

Upping WWS:

Put ur WWS together with 1 lum rune, 1 Pul rune and 1 Perfect Emerald into the cube then click Transmute.

For armor I would say Twitchthroe/Lionheart/Treachery

yah i'v been trying out the wws strafe guide and i totaly agree with the others it is a nice litle bow that does some decent damage:=)
i'll be using coh for an amour when i have saved up some ist's (it seams i use them as fast as i get them). another amour that i like is the nef+lum one can't rember what the name is though

Smoke, I think. Nice armour.
