WWS Average Dmg

[stoutewolf]

Well ive been wondering if i should use WWs or a Wf.

So all you bowazons what is the average dmg you do with strafe?

If possible you can also list min-max dmg vs that of a wf, with strafe included ofc:thumbsup:

average gear (no fort)

~600-950 strafe without maxed merc might

~900-1250 strafe with maxed merc might

i recommend wf for you (even though i'm a WWS fanboy)

I've never been that big on wws... yeah ok you've got 1 extra socket (2 compared to faith, as if they were even anything like in the same league:shocked: ) but atma's scarab makes the amp completely obsolete, and the ds is overrated imo seeing as an ama has at least 50% already from critical. You've got moderate res, but it's not really needed on a bowazon. wf all the way.

Definately use a WWF (upped with shael/nef) until you manage to get a WF or a Faith. If you have an Atmas, you can't go wrong with a WF. I never had the pleasure of actually using a Faith.

if you use an atmas on a wf strafer you've either got to use an ias armour which severely reduces your dmg compared to a wf ama with forty or you have to have an act1 faith merc.

Just made a WF strafe + MS bowazon...
And compared to my pure strafe WWS based zon, she sux... WWS is much more flexible, with WF I had a hard time to get to 120 IAS (9/2), and WWS reached 8/2 with no problems at all.
Actualy my wf strafer has 130 ias, but well, jewels have 15 ias... ble.

With a WF zon you just HAVE to use a IAS armor or helm... 120 ias is minimum.

The only place where my WF zon seems to be better is cow hell, she is cookie cuter on NM cow, and does hell cow with not such speed as a LF zon, but is much safer there, with a combination of FA (crowd control, 80 pierce, woot!) , strafe (KB for even more control) and MS (mass killer) and some leech I'm cow god.

But for general Pvm playing, WWS is way better, safer, and kills immunes in an instant, when WF has a hard time, even with my merc castint decrap all the time...
