What to socket WitchwoodString with

I just recieved a Witchwood String bow (REALLY GOOD!! ;D), with two empty sockets

I want someone to reccomend what to socket it with

I also have arctic set, is that ment for amazons? Seems good enough for low levels.

Thx for help in advance

shael shael. Best option for a WWS

Did you see the WWS bowazon guide in the stickies?

Arctic set is decent for very low levels.

a nice alternative would be ED/IAS jewels. You in fact loose 10 speed but with some luck you can get up to 80% ED in exchange. Look up the breakpoints of the skill you use (strafe/multi) and compare to the IAS on the rest of gear, maybe this 10 speed lost when not socketing with shaels will not make difference.

Here are some damage calculations with socket alternatives:

I noticed in the WWS guide that they mention to socket helm with 15IAS jewel. I have a 15IAS/37ED jewel and I'm wondering should I put this in the helm and 2 shaels in the bow, or is the 15/37 getting more benefit directly in the bow somehow?

use it in the helm, 5% extra ias from shael in weapon could help in the long run
