Bowazon decisions must be made

Ok so I've realized that my

Strafe/Multishot bowazon doesn't really need to have Call To Arms and

Lidless Wall on swap. She is almost always at max HP/MP due to dual leech capabilities, and she doesn't get hit all that much at range anyways. So, I'm looking for opinions on what to use instead.

I run Faith as main, and I prefer to not use Enigma for this character, so run/walk speed is notable, and right now I'm only at 36%. I could swap my

Highlord's Wrath for a Cat's Eye to improve that. All that being said, I think I have 3 or 4 options for the swap.

1: Hustle, which would allow me to get

Burst of Speed for some extra run/walk. It would also improve my Multishot to the final breakpoint (I think).

Strafe is already reaching the max.

2:

Demon Limb, which would allow me to

Enchant myself and my merc for added attack rating and fire damage. I have been messing with this a bit and haven't noticed too much of a difference, but maybe slightly faster kill speeds. I also don't know if there is anything I could put on the offhand for this swap to gain anything notable (probably not?)

3: Harmony, which would literally just be a swap for running faster when not attacking enemies.

4:

Teleport staff for......teleporting. I'm not against it, but her casting frames are poop and I kind of just like running around with her! I'm not sure how much I'd use it.

I am leaning towards 1 or 2 but I wanna hear what other bowazons think, and if there is another option I missed. Thanks!

I play multishot. The typical mutlishot builds run Harmony on swap, at least that's what I run and what I've seen others run. It makes your runs faster and more efficient if you swap to Harmony between monster packs

Hustle can do something similar, but you have to attack something with it every once in a while, and I think this would only make sense for

Strafe. It seems like your build is more

Strafe focused, because you aren't at the fastest multishot breakpoint, so maybe this is a better option for you

Tele staffs can be useful for certain areas I guess, and I have seen telebowa builds with enimga, but I think this style of gameplay is pretty niche

I think my last choice would be

Demon Limb, unless you are underleveled or something. You can calculate chance to hit on maxroll or turn on the miss indicators in the game options to test in real time, which can give you a better idea of your chance to hit. I wouldn't trust the character screen chance to hit

About

Demon Limb, remember that Faith has "ignore target defense", so in practice

Enchant will only increase your chance to hit versus unique/champion/bosses...
And with Faith (300% ar) +

Penetrate +

Strafe % ar, the extra % ar will not make much difference even on those cases

I tried Hustle on swap for a while but feels annoying to me to re-buff from time to time...

And is kinda hard to see if

Burst of Speed is active as both of your bows give

Fanaticism...

Demon Limb is pre-buff gear, not weapon switch gear. There are much better uses of that weapon switch slot than something that you only need to cast once every 10 minutes.

By

Teleport staff, you're functionally referring to

Naj's Puzzler, because a regular

Teleport staff provides no FCR, is more expensive to repair per charge, and doesn't hold enough charges. I think people underestimate how many times they

Teleport in a game.

I used Harmony from before when Hustle existed, in conjunction with 79% FRW. Other than not being able to skip over gaps in the landscape, Harmony plays more fluidly than teleporting. It was good enough to keep up in public TZ Chaos runs.

I managed to pick up a free Hustle bow from last week's season rollover, but it's in a

Great Bow requiring 121 strength, so I don't have a use for it on my bowazon.

I was actually unaware that Naj's repair costs were lower than any other regular tele staff, and I also overlooked the FCR. Interesting. I might mess with that a little bit and see if I like it. I can make Harmony to test that out too. I can't easily test out Hustle, but if you don't want that one you got, I'd toss you something for it. My bowazon is rocking like 140 STR. I just don't know how annoyed I will get having to proc it every 2 minutes, but it can't be much more annoying than when I was casting my useless

Battle Orders every 2 minutes (not a lot of oskills on this char).

So, mostly for flavor reasons, I decided I wasn't going to use any

Teleport items with my physical bowazon.

What ended up happening was that I stacked a bunch of FRW and use Harmony on swap and... it's awesome. Highly recommend it.
