Brand matri bow or faith gmb for killing boss?

[Fairlady]

I need to pick a bow to kill bosses with my hardcore strafezon. the two bows are about equal in regards to enhanced damage. Brand matri bow has the +280-330% damage to demons and the 20% deadly strike. The bone spear magic damage adds about 185 dmg, which is low but not completely useless when you consider that im firing 12.5 arrows per second. It also has kb to keep bosses pinned.

Faith on the other hand has the aura of course, which adds about 250% ed and also boosts my mercs attack about 125%. It is not going to make me shoot faster than brand since I've already hit max speed, but it is going to allow me to use gmb, giving me a much higher base dmg. The +2 skills isn't much useful for a strafer.

Which should i pick? I'm leaning toward faith, used in conjunction with LoH

Faith. for the win. go.

put 40-50 ias on the brand runeword

return the charged synergies bug to make the bone spear trigger something besides a tickle in hell

put the amp on striking and lower the %

then maybe it can compare with faith

kb bosses? what bosses are you running? try to kb baal....won't happen.

Yeah, the KB on a boss isn't going to happen. At least not in hell. While I LOVE me some Brand, I'll have to go with the Faith on this answer as well.
