Great Bow Faith or Windforce?

misterdumpling · 06-10-2007, 02:21 AM

A Faith made out of a Great Bow, or Windforce? Blade and Great Bow's are the only bows that give guaranteed 4sockets and are very fast attack speed.

Final damage on Great Bow Faith: 51-223 dmg

i prefer faith>windforce but if i were you don't put it in a great bow. put it in a GMB (grand matron bow)

**gideon62** · 06-10-2007, 03:23 AM

agreed, and a +3 GMB at that.

Final damage on Grand Matron Bow: 60-309 dmg
Final damage on Great Bow Faith: 51-223 dmg

So the extra 86 damage, (and 1-3+ crossbow skills) makes it that much better even though you get very fast attack speed with a Great Bow?

Plus I would have to find a 4 socket Grand Matron (3+ crossbow skills if I'm lucky), where I could just socket a Great Bow from cube recipe or Larzuk.

If your willing to spend the runes on the Faith in a Great Bow by all means do it, but the damage out put would be greater in a GMB +3 if you wanted to wait. But if you can fork out the runes by all means put it in that bow. I'm not sure how much 'very fast attack speed' will matter when you have Fana. aura.
