Treachery or Lionheart for a strafer?

I need your opinions please. Is the added venom and IAS on treachery better than the added dex in Lionheart? Which is armour better? I haven't pumped dex as much as I should have, but I have enough strength with charms.

My other gear is (please excuse my spelling):
Tal mask with 15 IAS gem
Upper buriza shael
Credulum belt
+2 amazon amulet with other handy bits (but I can't remember all the stats now)
raven frost ring
rare ring with dex
tearhaunch greaves (terrible I know)
Laying of hands
I have a mix of cold, max damage, poison and misc charms

I play PvM only

Thanks for the help

Treachery I'd say, I like the ctc and the IAS it provides.
You would less need the stats that Lionheart gives you, it's redundant...
You need the Ias to really speed up the Upped Buriza's speed.

Drop the poison charms if you are using treachery.

Even tho Treachery has a lot better stats in theory (fade) i would pick Lionheart cos you won't get hit that much when u are a bowazon and i just lost my nerves when i had to go and trigger the fade in river of flame or some house in cold plains :undecided:

I assume you have low budget atm so until you have the wealth to buy coh/forti i'd suggest Duress over Lionheart even though it costs an um rune

Thanks for the replies
I'll move my poison charms somewhere else.
I don't understand why duress woulb be so good on a strafer. The added damage and cold damage would help, but it seems less of a fit that Lionheart

I'd choose the Lionheart. You appear to have +135 IAS from your weapon/helm/gloves. If I've read the crossbow IAS tables correctly, you'd need to get to more than +200 IAS to hit the next breakpoint. The +45 on Treachery then doesn't really help you. Thus, the nice stats +stats/resists/damage on the Lionheart would be a better option.

Also, you can keep those poison charms if you use Lionheart.

How much IAS do you need to hit 9/2 on a buriza?

You can't get 2 frame strafe with buriza (or any other crossbow unless I'm mistaken). IIRC 3 frame strafe is possible with burrito but you need over 200 IAS for that

Mmm, now I'm even more confused. But I knew there wasn't going to be a straight answer.
What sort of additional gear would I need to reach the 200+ IAS to reach the next frame rate? I have a goldwrap and about an um and a bit of wealth (don't laugh).

Also, between Lionheart and Duress, which would help me more if I kept the rest of my gear the same?

Max strafe speed for Buriza is 11/3 and needs 214%ias.

Where you can get the ias needed?

Buriza W/shael = 100%ias
Helm = 45% ias
Armor = 60% ias
Glove = 20% ias
Belt = 10% ias
Amu = 20% ias
----------------------------
Total 255% ias is possible to have, so you don't even need all possible ias gear for the BP, but you'd ned a lot of ias.
