What makes a good switch for a windy? My main is HotO+Spirit. I use Jelal's with Tir and Silkweaves which gives me +12 mana per kill, so I don't need Insight.

can never go wrong with a CTA or doomZ. a SS(DR and max block), sanctuary(res), or another spirit are good shield candidates.

I think I will go for Baranar's Star + Dream. Windy does physical and cold dmg, so the only problematic monsters are pi and cold immunes. Shaeled BS does to them 400 dmg very fast and with dream (lvl 15 Holy Shock) its over 1k dmg. Btw. does lightning dmg from BS stack with HS?

A good switch for a windy is cta+spirit.
Hell with ci and pi monsters, you have a merc with a reapers for them.

Well, Reapers just lower phys res by 50%, so I will break some pi, but killing them will be VERY slow. BTW, is it possible for a monster to have more than 110% phys res?

Monsters that are normall pi that have the stone skin mod.

I see, so normal pi monster are always 100% pi. right?

Often more, actually. Monsters with PI and Stone Skin cannot have their PI broken.

Not that slow actually. I use a merc with insight scythe so he won't be doing lots of damage. My hurricane does some nice amount of damage and arctic blast is a nice back up. He'll be gone in no longer than a minute. Cold Immune and Physical Immune are trickier, but then again, how often do you meet those guys?

Gonna be hard like crazy for you to hit (low ar/speed). Not to mention its dangerous for you to melee since you have no block. Just use a wand of amp damage (do those exist?) or wand of decreptify. Or you can equip your merc with a Reaper's toll (25% chance to cast decrept) or you can use that one Elite Maul, Gavel of Pain or something like that, it has amp damage charges.

There's better helms than jalal's out there, if you can afford a dream you could probably afford a decent druid pelt/circlet or a shako.

Jalals > shako

+20 strength translates into 40 oakable and boable life and if you've got half decent eq that far far outshines

+2 all skills translates into a BO boost with which decent gear/charms will give you more life (not to mention you already get some un +% life from shako). You also get DR and if you care, MF as well. Depending on the str boost from jalals also makes you dependant on the helm whereas with a shako you could swap it out for any other helm aka kiras for res, or CoA for all sexy mods, or a good pelt for dmg boost etc etc...

Actually if you built around using jalal's as your primary helm I guess it could beat shako since it has a few mods that shako is lacking. Still in my pvp mentality, sorry.

30fhr is win.
Jalals has 30 all res.
