sure it does great, wf is the damage bow. try and get high dex to help with ed%. i also edited my post above before you replied so check out my viper/coh comparison.
ok thx for taking your time to answer this, ill start with Treachery since its ok cheap, then when i gain abit more wealth i will try and get CoH so i dont have to strip my other chars now, and i can still strike gold on a good skiller without much MF.
like i said thx for taking your time
kind regards Sinnerster
ok so this is the setup i will aim for before i can afford CoH without stripping all chars.
WF(Sheal)
Andy(Ias jewel)
Atmas
Lionheart Armor (knew i missed one)
Ias Gloves
Razortail
Raven
rare leech ring
WT
and when wealth comes my way i just change Lionheart for CoH
my merc will use
Reapers Toll (Amn)
Shaft
and Gaze
and when i get super rich i swap for a act 1 cold merc and use Faith.
regards Sinnerster
i dont feel like there's much that atma's offers this build. it kills physical immunes, sure, but isnt that what LF is for? go with highlords or if you dont need the ias, 2zon ammy (or mara's).
i thought it would boost my bow dmg really much, i remember back in the Cow lvling days, burizons rules there, but perhaps they have changed something other than physical dmg in hell, like how amp works or something (tho seems to work fine for my Necro) but im pretty sure you know more than me so ill take you advice, but then i can socket my helm with something else like MF or %ED
thanks again for the help, just one more quick question..
which bow should i stick faith in for my merc? they cant use amazon only bows correct?
It does up the bow damage when triggered, but as a hybrid we don't need atmas as much as the general bowzon might do, we can simply electrify PIs.Originally Posted by Sinn

Great bow is my pick, but you can compare them yourself if you wish, table 07 in the amazon tables.
if you ever think you may use it on some other character my pick is shadow bow. it has good damage and low str req for it's speed (note: it's not as fast as a great bow or blade, but over all i like it for non zon, non merc characters)
after using this whole weekend trading runes back and forward i got my hands on a Faith Hydra bow with 1/14 stats, my merc can use it at lvl 82 (im lvl 81 atm) is there any reason why i cant use this?? i know its slow and wont proc so many innersight and so on but is there any other reason??
if i give her Treachery and Andys helm along with the Faith bow will she fire any faster or is it a set speed and no ias can change that.
also does the 10% Reanimate As: Returned work on my merc or is that only when i myself would use the bow.
kind regards Sinn
Your merc can't really compare to your own killspeed, so loosing a frame or two on her attack speed is much of a problem. I've even used a 10 wsm exceptional bow at one time and it worked fine.
She should fire faster with some ias, but again, you don't really need her to kill. If you still wish to give her some attack speed 35% would give her 10 frame attack, and 70 would give her 9 frame attack.
The procing of returned will work on the merc to.
Cheers
