So i just wanted a little advice I have a Dex/Int/Vit SC (been using AS to level)  and currently been using a +9 Immune Backpack as garment. Recently got a clean +9 FAW and having trouble deciding whether to go for Spell, EA or leave it for my ranger and go ASPD on that.

Input appreciated!

Thanks.

FAW with max EA (EA10) gives 20% ranged damage vs HBP which gives only 10%. Plus, you get 1% ranged damage more for every 20 dex.

So I think FAW would be a better choice.

Ofc HBP will win by default. FAW is hideous D:<

Anyways, HBP provides better survivability if you got enough VIT but it's all about preference in my point of view.

Offensively, FAW will likely win over HBP.

FAW gives neutral resist per 20 VIT too. So FAW is only slightly worse on reducs, which won't even make a difference in 99% of the situations you are in on whether you will die or not. Since you'd only benefit from one offensive ability of the HBP, obviously the FAW is a lot better. You can't really go wrong with either spell or EA and many other characters will benefit from it. However, since you already have a HBP and carded already, depending on your funds, you may have to sell it and buy a FAW. It's a good time to buy FAW right now since it's in the box and it'd be cheaper so it's a good long term investment. Overall FAW is just a lot better than HBP for almost any class and any build.

Thanks everyone. Got the FAW and EA 10'd it already.
