I've been having a blast with my "Brand" spamazon/strafer as of late and have thought of moving on to a witchizon-lightning fury hybrid after turning up some Titan's and a Razortail. This gal would be mainly for running pits and cows for socketables and the like. Here's what I've been thinking skill and gear wise, feedback would be most appreciated.
the gear:
Upped WWS with a shael + ed/ias jewel - 35 ias, ctc amp, resists, and style :soapbox:
non-upped, non-eth Titan's on switch - +4 total javelin skills, cheap to repair
"Spirit" for the jav switch? - + skills
"Fortitude" dusk shroud - for the resists and huge ed
Giant Skull - hopefully with 30 ias from two jewels, kb never hurts either
Highlord's - 20 ias, + skill, deadly strike all the time with the WWS
Ravenfrost - cbf
Manaldheal - mana leech, could always look for a rare
Razortail - pierce pierce pierce
Magic 2 jav, 20 ias - just shopped, just trying to squeeze out some plus jav skills
War Traveler's? - added strafe damage, might Gores be worth looking into for the cb and ow, since this isn't a faithazon with tons of ed right on the bow?
the skills:
max strafe
max lightning fury
bunch into penetrate for the ar
nine with gear into pierce
rest into d/e/a and valk?
this leaves me with: 100% pierce on both switches, 100% ds on the WWS, slightly more resists than the average bowazon, exactly 105 ias which will hit the 8/2 bp for the WWS, + 9 jav skills on that switch (not counting a torch if I come by one)
Would maxing charged strike and thus adding synergies to lf be worth thinking about or is the plus skills bump what really helps damage? Will having only one synergy for cs make it less than effective? Might some sort of faceted shield be worth thinking about (maybe Headhunter's)? I'm also assuming an act 2 might merc will add more damage than say an act 1 rough carrying a "faith," right? Thanks for giving this a read.
