Is this gear BM ?

[altima]

Hi my PvP character is bowzon
Her gear is
Bow - WF
Armor - max Forty
Boots - Gore riders
Belt - Nosferatu
Helm - 45 ias
rings - 2x raven
Amu - Cats eye
Gloves - Sanders

I usually play GM ( i say "g" dont steal gold , no nk ) unless provoked , but some people complain about the knock back and 10% slow from the belt... is this considered bm ?

[mephiztophelez]

no, KB isn't BM, neither is a mere 10% slow. hell, if 10% slow was "bm" then BvC's and ww-sins wouldn't use an arach.

but in any case, if your dealing with pubs, then anything you do that wins you a duel is automatically BM. this includes, but is not limited to: moving, attacking, using any kind of strategy, casting any kind of spell or prebuff....

get the picture?

seriously, thats a GM setup, my only concern is the 9-frame attack (?) you seem to have, it's a little slow....

[altima]

Yes its kinda slow ... i put 38ed jewel in my WF for better dmg ( 4.6k is it good ? ) . Im saving up for Faith but it will take some time :) Is there some cheap way for me to get 8 frames without damage drop ?

[NASE]

consider reading and following this guide.

The only way to get one more frame - 150 ias - is to get treachery or a 60/160 armour. However, treachery will severely damage your damage - though you can prebuff fade - while a 60/160 armour with high life will cost you more then faith.

P.S. 4.6 k is good though not what you want. The example in guide outputs 5.6k @ 7fpa. That's 1 k more physical damage and 2 frames faster then what you are doing.
Duelling is for the rich - sadly, else I'd have one myself.

Thank you all for the help :)
I think i will stick with what i have till i get faith :D

And as has been mentioned, KB isn't bm. Some ppl say any form of slow is.

Bowas damage is best thought of as 'how many shots in x time can I do(Speed)' rather than 'I did massive dmg but not many shots (Damage)'

I'd say get ur hands on a Hel rune and sink a 40% ED 15% IAS jewel instead of that 39%ED Jewel into ur WF, more damage AND speed but might cost a bit more.

EDIT: IMO str buggers, NKers, Money stealers and people that uses any form of bugs/hacks are BM, i also get pissed off when bowas kills me with 1-3 hits, shoots insanely fast and won't leave me alone -_-

i'd save for the faith and switch gloves to crafted 20ias/kb. you can craft those by yourself, they aren't too hard to craft. and as said there's nothing bm with your gear... unless you kill a hammerdin

Don't do this unless you're going to make other gear changes too since you need 142% IAS to hit the 8FPA BP and this wont do it.

bm to whom ? you're going to get a different answer everywhere you go

Hammerdins are EZ unless with autohammer hack or with lots of DR...
40/15 coasts lots of ists i prefer to save for faith . The 20iast/kb gloves are crafted with hit power right ?
