Need some guiding on skills

[Davveloca]

I started this Bowazon according to a Witchwild String guide I found but I don't seem to do very much damage.
And it is a Strafe/FA build I'm going for. (At the moment lvl 79)

This is my equipment:

Weapon:
Witchwild String 'ShaelShael' (Not upgraded yet, need Pul) :sad2:
and on switch I have a Demon Limb 'Hel' for the high lvl enchant.

Gloves:
Laying of hands

Armor:
Peace (Runeword armor)
For the lvl 15 valk, my thoght here is that if I have this there is no need to put skills in valk right? And also have +2 to all skills and +2 to Critical strike.

Helm:
Rockstopper
Nice resists and some to vitality

Boots and belt:
Hsarus, wich gains me +790ar on boots (+10 clvl) and some nice defense on belt.

Rings:
Here I have some +Mana, energy and resist.

Amulet:
Switching between Nokozan relic and one Mana leech depending on whats needed atm.

My skill placements are as following:

Passive and magic:
4 Penetrate
5 Pierce
and 1 skill to all other.

Bow and Xbow:
20 Strafe
20 Freezing Arrow
16 Cold Arrow

Statpoints:

Str. 107 (with some strength mod on Ring)
Dex. 254
Vit. 85
En. 40 (some mods from equip and some accidently missplaced here)



And now I have 10 Skillpoints to distribute and 32 statpoints.
Please help me to put these point out and give me some tips on how to give this char a decent chance in act 4, 5 Hell difficulty.
Act 3 now and having some serious trouble... :cry:

- Hell monsters regenerate their HP really fast, sometimes faster than you can damage them with a smaller damage bow. A good trick to stop that is to use at least one charm with poison damage to prevent their life from replenishing.

- Grab more cold damage charms, they extend the freeze duration of FA and shall be helpful on slowing down enemies you Strafe at.

- I'd say put all remaining stats into Dexterity to help your chance to hit and damage. If you hit more and harder, you leech better and kill faster which is always nice.

- I would get myself a Valkyrie from skill points so you don't have to depend on Peace armor anymore. Put 1 into all prerequisites (Dodges and Decoy will help you survive), and invest heavily on Valkyrie.

- Lastly, equipment wise, I think Mavina's Set may go well with your build, once you get a good Valkyrie not depending on Peace, try getting the full set, it's not expensive at all and quite effective in Hell (covers leech, gives a good resists and skill boost, specially cold damage). You didn't mention if you play single player, in this case it would be harder to get the full set, but if you are on a realm, it's far easier.

i would scrap that armor. i would go to a coh if you could afford it. the ed you will get with that combined with dumping your stat points into dex- you will notice a huge difference in killing speed.

if the only reason you are holding onto that armor is for the valk, i would get rid of it. get your valk skill level to 17 (including your +skills items). get some cheap but good armor while you build up the wealth to get a coh- i would suggest lionheart runeword.

also make sure you are firing at a good ias bp. that makes a big difference too.

dump the peace, get a treachery

zons need IAS and having none on your armor slot is a bad idea unless you have faith or multiple other IAS sources

[Dacar92]

I agree with Omikron. Get a Treachery and more of Mav's set. Then look for a higher damage bow. WWS is good because it is fast, but it has a lower inherent damage than some others. So has Mav's bow. But I have finished the game with a Mav's set strafe/FA zon and it is fun. You can finish the game with it or WWS. But it will take a little longer.

[a sad mfer]

i kinda like my wws i uped it and with a FORT ARMOR i can do
745-1196 strafe dmg w/o might merc
897-1401 strafe dmg with might merc

not to shabby i dont think /shrugs maybe i'm underpowered myself i dont know maybe some of yall can post your strafe dmg for me to compare
fort really upped my dmg from the wws and when amp process its all over from the mobs

[citybird]

Ok ill add my lvl 91 wws zon's stats to this list ;-)

strafe 797 - 1440
normal attack 939 - 1702
Dex: 488

she can mow down any area in the game and excels in tough areas like WSK with Black Souls and Chaos Santuary with Doom Knights casting Iron maden all night.

Resists are 75/75/80/75

I just need 3 things to complete this build:
+2 passive 20% ias knockback gloves
15% res all 6 dex Grand charm
1 to passive 6 dex Grand charm

Then she would absolutely rain terror and still have room in her invintory to pick up all those nice drops in the WSK.

oh, and she has 12 skill points left over.

Not only would 'Treachery' improve your speed greatly, but the Venom is great for countering monster regen.
