[@eflint49]

this is the Amazon I remember from my childhood. windforce, vamp gaze, shaftstop... the good Ole days.

[@eflint49]

...and an inventory full of poison charms

[@IraStephens]

Yeah same here. Poison and run walk charms.

[@christophercrowley5994]

Bro! That was the Golden Days!

[@jrwong2181]

I use cold charm😂😂

[@JSashiKumar]

@@jrwong2181 Very important to have that so corpses shatter and can't be revived. Been trying for years to find a Nature's Peace to fulfil that role, but if you don't have that, even 1 cold dmg is enough.

[@xingjian79]

this is probably the 3rd to 4th time I'm watching this. I rewatch quite a few videos of yours as well. super informative and with demos of what the items/skills do for you.

[@tkp570]

I'm literally watching all your videos and sometimes repeat watching because there's so much information . You're doing a great job

[@tripzero0]

Got this in my first playthrough in D1. Will have a special place in my heart forever

[@goosethcfn5293]

Amazing content, hope your channels grows further and futher! I actually found a Windforce yesterday in Pits, on the second run lol

[@GGMentor]

Grats! You lucky haxor

[@swpgamer396]

I’m rocking this and Melody. I still love the Windforce! Great video!

[@mikes2537]

finally found my first windforce today farming in the pits and i cant hardly believe it!!

[@jonpeterson5749]

Found it, kept it just because I thought it was cool. Glad I did! Thanks for the video!!!

[@IraStephens]

I remember a super hex edited/hacked version of the WF around 2000 time frame that was ridiculously godly. WFs were so extremely desired.

[@KrustyMillennial]

Windforce and Grandfather were worth 40 soj each back in the day! The wild west years.

[@freddiecrush]

Along with stormshield, Schaffer hammer , arkaines valor I think Occy rings were 80sojs. Loved those things lol

[@billypoker7822]

The beat bow, I named many charcters after this bow in all kinds of games. I literaly found one in a bloodyhills run back in 2002. i was in my uncle's room he was reading on the bed who let me play on his comp till the wee hours of night when i found this bow i started to scream at 2 am in the morning woke my grandma up.

[@gamblegod-tc8yc]

Ty for video my fav bow with faith

[@MorbidBloodshed]

the windforce hydra bow is... a beauty

[@akocleol3856]

was lucky to get this as a drop in chaos sanc. and the timing was great too, i was in the process of making a bowzon.

[@njdutoit]

With a COH Archon Plate and War Travellers the strength requirement is easy to meet (104 base). As for the Dexterity, Bowazons pump it anyway for extra damage.

[@kennduemortensen5496]

when i recently found it on my necro my 88 ama with 9 plus skill could equip it. its quite lovely

[@Cornholers]

When played with correctly it's quite deadly

[@corey6011]

My SSF zon is a Cold/ straft bowazon right now. She is level 90 and uses WF and it works beautifully. I play on players 3 and have been running AT. She blasts everything.

[@AdamB12]

I remember back during 1.08 and it was either a Windforce or an Ith hydra bow. Miss that

[@UnreliableUsername]

Found my first and only WF the other day off a venom lord minion off the seal in chaos sanctuary, I checked the calculator for odds with 355 mf it was 1:782,000

[@GGMentor]

It be like that lol. Grats windforce is a great bow

[@Rekepanda]

i had a zon back in the day with 2x cons ring and a bugged valor and a windforce..... omg those were the days... also it cost me 40 sojs a windforce back in the day

[@richardhaw9757]

this is the OG bow. still use it now, very powerful. i couldnt afford a faith so i have to settle with this.

[@TheHAFOE]

Found it from an uniqe on Chaos run🤪 Unfortunatly traded it before bowazon buff’s were announced.

[@travisducharme7638]

Found mine on my very 1st pit run in D2R (3 weeks ago).. also, side note: snagged 2 SOJs (in act 5) within 3 hours yesterday!

[@GGMentor]

Hax 😂

[@travisducharme7638]

@Ginger Gaming Mentor hah! Tbh, back in '03(ish?) I ran a pindle-bot overnights for months, filtering for unique rings and amulets. NEVER found 1!.. but, I've found best items when helping other people in their quests.

[@GGMentor]

@@travisducharme7638 I think we all used a pindle bot when they first came out we all thought it was harmless. We know better now it's not harmless

[@eV-pd6lf]

GINGER GAMING MENTOR!!! WOOOOOOO

[@LooxJJ]

Just found one....now i have to build a bowazon

[@GGMentor]

Hah, I love bowzons they are great characters

[@richardhaw9757]

defilers are the treasure goblins of D2

[@GGMentor]

They run from you too lol

[@mikehawk8984]

I still remember everytime I get a Windforce or a Grandfathers to drop. Had a Grandfathers to drop for me randomly the other day and cursed myself that I wasn't playing a Classic barb 😂

[@zaidalielarabeloco4070]

The hard choise again, put a shael rune for more speed or a ruby jewel of fervor for both attack and speed or just more attack this is the question.

[@njdutoit]

Ohm Rune for 300% ED?

[@andrewrenshaw2741]

Minus req jewels are good too, less investment of valuable skill points

[@shawmeck9323]

You mentioned that the wind force went through a lot of changes can you expand on that?

[@Cornholers]

Used to be alot better

[@GGMentor]

An example, with an explanation in the post. d2vdm.com/product/godly-1-08-windforce-wf-bow-35-dexterity-574-damage-100-legit-useast-non-ladder/ Also 1.08 Windforce could bug as ethereal... And since bows have no actual durability it was an eth indestructible 1.08 Windforce broken as all get out. Nothing even comes close

[@briom1425]

The most fun build in Diablo is the bowazon with wind force

[@Happycamper10]

Amazing on strafe pvm zon with faith merc

[@poquer]

WF and faith (gmb) allways have toughts about wich one to chose.

[@GGMentor]

Best used together

[@brandonlatham694]

Nobody's going to believe this but I found mine just the other night in the sewers of act 2 running terrorized... used a failed toons Larzuk reward... but now what do I put in it ?

[@GGMentor]

Grats!

[@lunabird89]

Found my 2nd 8% on chaos run

[@jesseramirez1729]

I was hoping to see the dmg output and atk rating with faith on the merc 😞

[@eV-pd6lf]

i like using wf and faith on merc but the stupid merc is constantly out of range

[@edwarren7022]

Found two so far 😑 I got one from the pits and the other off a zombie in Worldstone keep

[@gamblegod-tc8yc]

Multi shot helps , cuz i need the mana steal

[@jaredcrawford923]

Assuming perfect gear, which would be better? A: WF on char w/ Faith Bow merc. B: Wf on char w/ Might Merch w/ Pride Polearm. C: Faith on char w/ Might Merch w/ Pride Polearm.

[@jaredcrawford923]

For a Strafe Build.

[@GGMentor]

You are missing one, Perfect Goldstrike Arch Upgraded is also an amazing bow, believe it or not actually is on par with windforce. The issue with goldstrike arch has always been finding a perfect one which is next to impossible. I have a near perfect one in my stash right now on ladder. As to your question I believe WF/Goldstrike with a Faith merc has been confirmed to be better.

[@jaredcrawford923]

@@GGMentor Good to know another option at least exists! Thanks!

[@tietie007]

120 ias to have the breakpoint with strafe😊.

[@csyumz]

08 wf, 160-60 whalers mageplate, 140-45 demon head,

[@Yaksonator]

I had 2 of these drop in 3 days.. one perfect the other a bow for my merc! RNG is a curious thing.

[@dannyk1568]

what does RNG stand for?

[@Dead-xk1lk]

Man your super lucky. Lvl90 bowazon still no windforce. One day hopefully 🙏 where did yours drop?

[@GGMentor]

Random Number Generation

[@Yaksonator]

@@Dead-xk1lk The pits. Always the pits for me..

[@Dead-xk1lk]

@@Yaksonator cool that's what I've been running thanks

[@EA_SP0RTCENTER]

Windforce is what happens when I eat too much taco bell 🔔

[@Dead-xk1lk]

Lol!! Nice just had some i can confirm 👍

[@GGMentor]

FIRE IN THE HOLE 🔥🔥🔥

[@mandreadfg]

Put a hel rune in to lower requirements?? Or nah

[@GGMentor]

Nah build your character around the bow

[@TheHAFOE]

A guy told me you could get a LO for 8mana leech WF. LOL what do you guys think about WF value? I guess it’s worth up to vex.

[@GGMentor]

It's rare, I know that much, but bowazons are less common now days and people also choose faith bow over wf which makes it worth less. Not sure tbh but a vex sounds fair

[@edwarren7022]

It's worth whatever the seller wants tbh, since they decides if he will sell it

[@travisducharme7638]

Yes, windforce is a teenie bit more than a vex (maybe vex, ko)

[@derekgreen7319]

It kind of sucks that windforce isn't the main bow anymore.

[@GGMentor]

isn't it? It was my understanding the best combos still used windforce as the main bow. Faith on the Merc and Windforce on the player.

[@derekgreen7319]

@@GGMentor o yea that combination is sick. I just mean faith being a thing

[@derekgreen7319]

@@GGMentor I mean it like it used be windforce and then there was everything else.

[@gamblegod-tc8yc]

You put a 40/15 jewel in it

[@derekgreen7319]

AR is the biggest downside of windforce. Although angelic couples well with it.

[@GGMentor]

Seems like attack rating issues have been mostly fixed for zon with 2.6

[@wakkawagga443]

40/15 jewel will get you to 11 frames, 55 ias on the rest of equipment to 9 frames and a half decent fana aura to 7. Shael will give you the same breakpoints without the 40ed

[@travisducharme7638]

So 15 Ias from jewel, then 55 on rest of gear (70%) is needed for 9 frames? ... obv 20 from gloves, 15% from helm, where do you get the other 20%? I use fortitude, and atmas ammy (for Amp Dmg)... think highlords or cats eye worth it over AmpDmg from atmas?

[@travisducharme7638]

@Bowa touche salesman!.. time to clean out the shael, and resocket that Bad Larry.

[@Dead-xk1lk]

Anyone on ps5 looking to get rid of a windforce? I have an ist,mal,gul,pul,fal,ohm,ko up for trade

[@Ninjabob568]

#makezonsgodsagain Gimme 08 valk

[@GGMentor]

Lol

[@gabrielevanzati1378]

this stats is cheating

[@GGMentor]

Most of my offline characters are specifically set up for testing. Not cheating 😜

[@OrganicStuff1]

My friend still used lycanders aim over wf never understood it

[@GGMentor]
