two non related zon questions

I have been looking for a while for a 4sock gmb, or mb to make a faith for myself in. I have managed to find a 4socket +2 matron bow. Is it dumb to faith in this. I thought that since +skills dont matter much for straffers/multishot bowazons this could be an option. However, everywhere I see them for trade I see only +3/+1or2 faith bows. Is it dumb to spend the runes on fatih if it is going to be in a +2 bow, or is just going to mean it will worth 1hr less if I sell it?

My second questios concerns the use of dream helms. I was in a nightmare cow game, where a hi level char was using faith, and dream and I'm not sure what armor. Unfortunately when I asked the person about how well the dream helm work, I only learned I was a noob for not knowing :). It was cool looking but the person using strafe was not killing nightmare cows very fast. So I guess my question about dream helms is how much do they help bowazons, and is it anywhere on par with lightning fury, when it comes to killing cows, or anything else given the res of most things in hell?

ur first question: ur prolly rite, the extra bow skills probably wont do much for a bowazon. but the resale value will drop significantly, because people only want to buy the best

For your 2nd question, if they aint handling nitemare cows with faith at a high lvl that well, he shudnt be calling other people noobs. Dream helm got a lot of itty bitty goods that are good for a bowazon, but the holy shock prolly stands out the most in dealing an extra few hundred pts of damage per arrow. however... depending on what type of zon, a ias helm may be better in long run.

an if ur comparing dream helm or even strafe to lite fury when killing cows...no. lite fury is probably the fastest cow killer move there is. plus it will be harder to kill cow king since u do mainly lite damage.

the holy shock aura does absolutely nothing in hell. u'll be lucky to kill anything just by the aura itself within a short period of time after act 1 or 2 normal mode.

Wait a sec...a high level char with Faith and Dream in NIGHTMARE cows??? AND not killing cows very fast????
Unless they were looking for a mid level socketable, I see no reason whatsoever for any high level char to visit nightmare cows. Me thinks this high level char got their items...uh...outside of blizzard approved meathods...*cough*...EbAy...*cough*...and has no clue what they're doing.

I think they were helping level a friend who had gone into nightmare to early to be rushed through ancients. It was still pretty sad how slow they were killing even though the game was full, I'm not sure that 8 player in nightmare should have slowed them down that much. So maybe dream is mostly a pvp thing, I saw other threads here with dream helms mentioned, but did not notice them in any of the bowazon guides I was reading.
