Is Faith the only PvP bow out there?

Considering that a VERY powerful rare bow costs something equiv. of 4600 hrs, is Faith the only bow viable for PvP or is there something else that could work if given imagination?

I have a CtA bow but I can only hit the 9 frame breakpoint. An Ice has too low of damage. The only options I could see might be the Windforce with a Shael, a 45IAS helmet, 20IAS gloves and 160/60 armor. This doesn't give the damage of a forty, but I'd at least hit the 8 frame break point. Could an upped Witchy work somehow?

I'm only avoiding a Faith for style points, to be honest. I just want to figure out an alternative that isn't cookie-cutter. Its much more fun to duel and go through the win/loss growth and improvement process when you're trying new things.|||I'm probably the last person on earth who should be giving advice about a PvP Bowzon, but just from pure intuition, 8 fpa pewpews aren't essential, you can go 9 fpa Windforce and 'Fortitude' and get away with it. I also wouldn't touch WWS in a PvP environment with a 10 foot pole, I'd take 9 fpa Windy or even Goldstrike Arch over WWS in an instant.|||CTA bow? wut?|||Have a hammerdin buddy(or second cd key char) sit at the gate with faith or beast and conc aura on... that will make windforce very strong!|||I have actually been thinking about making a CTA bow myself. Look at what it has

+1 To All Skills

+40% Increased Attack Speed

+250-290% Enhanced Damage (varies)

Adds 5-30 Fire Damage

7% Life Stolen Per Hit

+2-6 To Battle Command (varies)*

+1-6 To Battle Orders (varies)*

+1-4 To Battle Cry (varies)*

Prevent Monster Heal

Replenish Life +12

30% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

These are some nice mods. Has anybody used CTA in PVP?|||Quote:

actually, it's 7fpa pewpews and it generally is considered a must.

You want to have 7fpa so you can keep pressure on your target. You simply can't get enough to damage to forgo this pressure mechanism.

I'm not gonna say you can't have fun with other bows, or that as a cheap setup it can't work. Though the good (although good is relative) need top end equipment, and faith is one of those items you need.



P.S. In pvp, a bowazon is never a cookiecutter, so I don't really see what you can win by using an other bow.|||So, it looks like the collective answer is "No, Faith or the practically non-existant Rare from God Himself are your two options for PvP."

Harumph. I will not accept this.|||Well, make sure you come and tell us how it turns out.

I'm always in for a surprise (or a good laugh).|||Try the windforce with aura helper... no reason why it wouldnt own|||Use the burrito cannon.
