Several D2 sites all seem to agree on how expensive Strafezon builds are. I recently had a 161 ED Witchwild String drop. After a review of its stats I decided to test it out. I have an all purpose reusable level 83 Zon which I use to test the performance of bows and javelins. The Witchwild fires level 20 magic Arrows which I use on my right mouse button, but I was more interested in its 2% chance to proc lvl 5 Amplify Damage, and its +1 per lvl Deadly Strike, and the two open sockets. The 40% to all resistance is also a nice touch.
The weapon physical damage isn’t all that impressive but add Amplify Damage and Deadly strike and it does some serious damage to mobs even in act 5 Hell level. I wish I had captured a video of when I was in the Crystalline Passage and encountered a mob of duel wielding physically immune Blood Lords including 4 champions, some minions, and their boss. I was able to quickly divide them and take them down in about a minute without losing my mercenary.
The capture is the 10th Chaos run I did in a row.
The bows native stats are below.
“150-170% Enhanced Damage (32-35) to (75-81)
Fires Magic Arrows [Level 20]
2% Chance To Cast Level 5 Amplify Damage On Striking
+1-99 % Deadly Strike (+1 Per Character Level)
All Resistances +40
Socketed (2)” Diablo Wiki
Items I’m using include Guillaumes face with 15 IAS Jewel, Fortitude armor, 20% IAS Blood Gloves, Gore Riders, 10% IAS Nostferatu’s coil, Raven Frost, a rare ring with 5% ML, and Atama’s Scarab. The Witchwild was upped to a Diamond Bow. The two sockets are filled with a Shael and a 39% ED +9 to minimum damage Jewel. The breakpoints for the bow is 56% IAS, I have 65 IAS total. I also have 60% CB, and 10% Open Wounds. The only expensive item in the build is the Lo rune in the Fortitude.
