That is a really cool build for the old school amazon. More people should be using windforce in my opinion.. hopefully this helps other players think outside of just faith!.. well done!
Thanks! Totally agree. There is optimal, and then there’s fun. Not to mention style and nostalgia. Just want people to think about doing things for fun again! I still hork, use nova, etc. but you gotta make room for experimentation and what is fun to you subjectively. 🤘🏻
Hey there! I super appreciate the sub and you stopping by to check it out, thank you so much! 🙏 You might have even more of an easier time using goblin toes instead of war travs to push that crushing blow up to 85-90% depending on your gloves. Just tried it last night and felt a bit smoother. I may also swing back around to this build to show my own online version with my self found gear in a different video. We will see! But I do plan on making a comparison video of at least 3 main bow options soon!
Been so long since I’ve played D2R. I’m stoked that ppl still play it. I also saw they drop a pack for console and I’m a broke boy with no PC soooooo……
Hey dude, nothing wrong with playing on console!! Best game ever, I hope I can encourage you and others to have fun playing. I used to be very PvP focused and had to min max. Now I just try to have fun, and I think ultimately, I find much more joy! Maybe my budget build series will help you, I am working on more very soon, so stay tuned! Up next in order will be the Assassin, who is a very good starter.
Had a level 95 bowzon back pre LOD in 2000 that was my everything! (11/12 years old at the time lol) I only do SP now and haven’t found my WF yet but my girl is using upped goldstrike and I love using atma’s on her! Act 5 merc with lawbringer and grief is pretty nice for her too.
Very nice! Aw man, stoked to hear another OG still going strong. Nothing like knowing the game through each of the different eras. Good luck on the hunt, I love enjoying the journey opposed to just having everything. Lawbringer is so nice for the crowd control and curse, huge help on the frontline for sure.
Personally, I went with an act5 Merc using lastwish PB and Lawbringer. I still get the might aura and sanctuary aura in Chaos is pretty much amp damage on everything so I can use highlords. I almost exclusively farm chaos so it was perfect for me to use act5 Merc.
Act 5 merc is such a good option too since he is aggressive and likes to run forward taking the attention for you. With those two runewords you get might and sanctuary which knocks back undead all the time. The only thing is you get life tap and decrepify kind of casting back and forth. Both are very nice to have though. I’m guessing he actually works pretty well for bossing too with a good amount of crushing blow on lastwish. There are so many options and setup! Thanks for stopping by dude! 🙏🤘🏻
Oh yeah, I also wanted to mention that offline single player is a bit different than any online mode in the sense that enemies have more health in single player so the testing isn’t going to be a straightforward 1:1 comparison. Also, most people try to get passive/magic skills on gloves for physical bowzons because adding extra bow skills doesn’t really do much but the extra crit strike, ar, pierce, and survivability from the P&M skills go a long way.
@@realSAPERE_AUDE Ahh nice, didn’t know about enemy life. My goal is to iron out the build and then build it online. Also, VERY nice point with passive and magic gloves. That is kind of a game changer. You have me thinking for sure! Appreciate you stopping by and sharing! 🙏🤘🏻
My fav bow is rare/blue mat bow not wf. Something about the godly-ness of the rare/magic combo unique to d2, and then the legendary mat bow having the fastest attack speed profile just felt godly when I was more noob.
@noknownthrone2487 yes. I think the godly blue bow was cruel mat bow of evisceration I love the names too lol and other rare mat bows with black colour and 388%+ ed and amp curse etc etc
I like andariels visage ,angelic and treachery , gore riders, gold wrap/ nos coil , laying of hands (or blood gloves) on a wind force zon. The other ring slot can be whatever, usually a good leach ring. Depending on choices on certain pieces will determine what you socket into the items .
Cool stuff. You could potentially get more complicated with this by taking along something like a lacerator or witchwild string on swap, put the pre-buff hustle in the cube, and dropping atma’s for something else. Maybe you could get some ias amulet and then that would let you swap the belt and your weapon switch (ww-string or lacerator) can cover amp when you need it.
@@realSAPERE_AUDE Thanks bud! I’d love to use highlords for that ias and deadly strike. Been totally wanting to find a good amp damage option for sure and your idea is interesting! Thanks for sharing!
@@noknownthrone2487 yeah no problem! The amp here seemed like it would proc right before most enemies die anyways and on p1 it’s conditionally useful at best so something with a high chance for amp might be a better option to switch to when you really need it rather than taking up the amulet slot for a mere 2% chance 🙂
@@realSAPERE_AUDE yea the thought was just for bosses or phys immune. It is 5% chance but still mostly useless on normal mobs, totally agree. I’ve since tested a Lo rune instead of Ber in the bow and it comes out to 86% chance to deal double damage with crit and deadly strike combined. I think I like the Lo rune more. Pretty sure switching to Highlords would just max it out if I can find another way to amp. Don’t want to lose my strafe speed though!
@@noknownthrone2487 yeah I think the reason people don’t focus much on crushing blow is that crit and deadly strike can be more consistent extra damage.
Thanks for checking this out! Yea I agree, I think by nerf you mean the introduction of the “Faith” runeword or possibly the guided arrow and pierce mechanic that was nerfed after 1.08? Man I miss that so much. The only change that was made to the Windforce item itself was a reduction in dexterity after patch 1.08 back in the day. However, D2:R fixed the next hit delay (NHD) on skills which actually buffed strafe iirc.
Wonder what combo you could come up with if you put hustle in a merc weapon. Not sure what kind of weapons it can go in. Maybe an act 2 or act 5 merc setup 🤔 just a thought
That's a really interesting point! I've never thought about Hustle in a polearm. The problem is the level 1 aura being a very small radius. I feel like you'd have to use Enigma to keep it in check. Really good idea, and I appreciate this comment. You have me thinking!
@@noknownthrone2487 now that I think about it. It can probably go in an act 3 and act 5 merc weapons as well 🤔. An act 3 merc might hang back more next to your bow zon 🧐
@noknownthrone2487 thinking once I get a sazabi set I'll try hustle in a phase blade on an act 5 merc setup for my trav barb. The aura is small but he's usually going to be in the thick of it with you in trav
Atmas works very well with bone break. If they are immune at 150% physical resist, amp alone only brings them down to 50% physical resistance. However, with bone break, they are dropped to 95% BEFORE amp, and amp has full effect. This means with bone break and amp that same monster would be at -5% physical resist. I hope this helps dude! Cheers, and thanks for stopping by! 🙏🤘🏻
I hate that windforce was out of my grasp in its glory days... found one in chaos and gave it away 😢 couldn't find it in me to strip the Java down and humble her with a slow clearing bow build

I don't hero edit much, just for testing things and and wanted to see the impact I can have in a WF just for this video.
