Get resist scs if you wanna raise it, and same for damage if you wanna increase it.

That dmg seems normal, with damage scs my old bowzon had about 6k ga damage.

iirc Poision charms are useless on strafe zons as the poison counter will reset every time one of your strafe arrows hit the target.

Max damage and elemental charms work better with strafe.

That looks about right. Carry many more max damage and dex charms if you are interested in boosting your damage potential. No mention of a merc or runeword aura on your merc, look there for boosting your damage potential even more.

I may be wrong but what about elemental charms ? on 3-6 k dmg, what does a 1-28 lit or fire sc does ?
you may say ...because of physical immunes... but even with ten of these, 140 avg dmg will not have any real impact even at 9/2.

Long ago I asked about the use of elemental charms.
It turned out in the discussion that only cold charms that increase cold length in hell (1/3 or 1/4 of sec each charm) have some interest for a zon using FA/strafe.

only melee chars (enchant, etc..) with Infinity merc / aura increasing elemental dmg /conviction/ lit mastery could find a use for lit and fire charms.

As said, psn charms is useless for a strafer.

Technically you can get 1-99 lightning damage on a sc -_-.

By the way, your damage may actually be a little low depending on how much of your damage is from the 8 poison scs you are using.

For elemental scs, only very high dmg lightning scs can be useful to a pure strafer. Even without Pride you should be getting roughly 11x damage. Add in 70% CS and it's 18.7x damage. Even without factoring in the damage multiplication of Atma's, that means a 3 max sc will add roughly 56 to max damage (not to mention AR and possibly another mod). In short, any lightning sc that does less than 1-55 dmg is beaten in every way (except against PIs). Yes, I'm ignoring physical and elemental resists, which vary, but it doesn't change the fact that only excptionally high damage lightning scs merit consideration at all.
