uWWS vs WF.... Many questions

[banff]

Playing on US-West Non Ladder, i dont have access to a uWWS. Currently my char sheet for my WWS says 1904-2204 dmg. WF reads 1700-4000. I'm wondering how much more dmg range % wise could i expect from a uWWS?

I'm a big fan of the WWS for all its properties. Assuming an A1 merc (faith), i can negate the need for IAS (im assuming, while shes alive). Which combo seems more powerful:

WWS + KB/ITD (rune) or WWS + KB/ML rune or
WF + ITD rune (seems very strong)

With ITD in my weapon, can i live comfortably with a 70% baal hit ratio and about 80%~ on mobs (assuming fanat aura)?

I have several crushing blow setups where i reach 100%.... Does a crushing blow attack over-ride dmg my bow would have done? % vs hard # .... It seems this would be unwise on any non uber (should i get rid of CB completely?)

While LOH have 350% ED demons, is it really 350% or is the % applied in some way where its benefit is not that great in the combat formula?

Lavagout seem attractive for the enchant bonus. Do you feel it is a waste of a slot under the effects of fanat (no need for more ias on WWS) and also does the casting of enchant interfere with amp casts or slow down arrow speed? Using a demon limb seems very costly and im not one for 'prebuffing'.

Are clegaw's viable for endgame? Knockback + slow is such beautiful control. I have run with Ice bow + clegaw and other slow items and honestly, everything on the screen comes to a crawl. Clegaw alone seems to provide a resonable slow, and would free up a slot in a WWS for ITD/ML. Assuming fanat, would this be a viable option?

The consistent high dmg of a WWS is really attractive along with ability to deal with pi's 2 different ways. Not being tight on resists, ll/ml, what helms do you guys reccomend?

First question, what is your items? I have troubles reaching 500dmg with WWS

Currently wearing:

Gore Riders
Razortail
CoH dusk shroud
Atmas
Guillimane's face w/15ias ed jewel
WWS w/15ias ed jewel 2x
Gloves alternate between LOH/clegaw
Manald heal + Raven frost

I have a torch and a buttload of 451 poison charms.

Are these poison charms inflating my char sheet dmg? Also, is poison reapplied with every strafe arrow that lands making this a dumb thing to stack or is it a good thing?

Obviously im not happy with my armor setup which is why im looking to customize. I Was wearing gore rider/guillimanes for the CB but im begining to doubt CB effectiveness on a range char hitting a hell mode boss (1/16?).... Maybe its better to do dmg, or with just strafing, have a tiny bit of CB since so many arrows are landing.....

Some help with my questions would be great


edit* I just took off all my psn charms and im at 252-598 strafe dmg according to char sheet. This is with a regular WWS since i can't seem to find an uWWS (west non ladder)

Obviously, you now see that the poison charms were part of the LCS. And, yes, the poison is reset with every arrow so the LCS screen isn't of much use in this case.

Assuming you have the resources that you seem to have, I'd go WF. I'd use WF, Faith on rogue, ATMA's, Fortitude armor, razortail, the rest is more or less up to you. When you have the resources to dish out this much physical damage you will be killing things faster than ATMA's can proc most of the time (low player game). However, I still like ATMA for bosses, no-thought PI solution, and for high player count games.

I'd say that crushing blow on a strafer can be used to compensate for lack of high damage. For example, it can be a great addition on low damage WWS builds (like no faith/might/non-upgraded). However, when you are looking at Faith/WF you only need a little to help with bosses.
