Plz help with last gear choice

[Swashoc]

Hi all.

This is the first time I have access to some better gear (thanks to a nice guy).

I am making a strafer (currently lvl 66) and this is my current gear:

- Faith Matriarchal Bow
- Laying of Hands
- Highlord's Wrath
- Nosferatu's Coil
- Gore Rider
- Manald Heal ring

I like my current gear but would like help choosing Headpiece, body armor and second ring. I want to increase effeciency and survivability and get ready for entering Hell. What Armor, Helm and ring do you think would be best for considering my current gear (which will not be replaced)?

My Build is currently like this:

20 strafe
7 pierce
7 Valkyrie
3 Penetrate
2 Dodge
2 Evade
1 Avoid

... and I have no idea where to put the rest of my skill points, but maybe Hell will tell me what I need :-D

Is it Fortitude, CoH, Duress or other. Have no idea about helm - maybe Dream to help with imunes or how does strafers deal with those?

You should take the time to read this :thumbup:

If you are wealthy enough - which I assume you are now. This is considered the standard gear:

- Faith Matriarchal Bow
- Laying of Hands - 20 ias
- Highlord's Wrath - 20 ias (decent option though atma's for ctc amp is good too)
- razortails is much better then nosferatu.
- Gore Rider
- Manald Heal ring (dualleech ring)
- raven frost (cannot be frozen is so useful).
- fortitude (300 ed is huge).
- andy's visage (combines ias with leech, str, socket with ias jewel if you don't go for ias on amulet and belt.)


If you go with a combination of highlords and nosferatu, you can use your headgear to fill in any gaps you may have. Shako for mf and life/mana, giansskull for knockback, guillliams face for crushingblow...

P.S. points should go into multishot. It's a very useful skill and you will play better if you occasionally use multishot, even on a strafeazon. Try hitting for slvl 10 as a minimum.

@ MuffinMan; it's a bit late to go hybrid now don't you think. Isn't there a faith guide?

Thank you for a very swift reply.

I will get raven frost and fortitude

I will have a look at maybe replacing nos with razortails

Still worried about headpiece, resists and phys imunes in Hell though.

Thank you very much

WWS on switch will give you a CTC amp too and does 20% magic damage, for situational use and vs PIs....has some resists and 2 open sockets as wel.

Considering his wealth, I would say leveling to 66 again should be peanuts.
But here you go :crazyeyes:

I am making a strafer

Then Atmas amulet is a must imo. -100% monsters physical resists is to good to pass on.

Yes, same thing with razortail. 100% pierce as well as some damage is great.
