This is a repost from here:
http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=40375120&f=103&o=0Not all of these bows are mine. What you see here are the Top Shadow Bows known to exist for MLD (lvl 49) across all realms. Faith is above LvL 49 ok. As there are different mods available on shadow bows, making them useful with different setups, i have done away with a Top 10 listing and instead I have divided the bows between Non-IAS, IAS and CTC and posted the Top 3. Each of these bows is amazing in their own right.
Without further ado:
No IAS, Top 3 Shadow Bows All Realms (all three located on europe nonladder).

1. Mine, almost impossible to beat the mods on this one.
2. Mine, the -30% req's makes it ideal for Java/Bowa or Plague Bowa Hybrid or for a Vita Bowa build.
3. Horag @ Jsp owns this one (Octogenarian has now since Horag quit). very good bow, used to be mine
there are 1-2 bows close to no.3 but nothing close to 1&2 (yet).
IAS, Top 3 Shadow Bows All Realms (1 on europe ladder, 2 & 3 on West Nonladder I believe).

1. Phazz owns this one, almost impossible to beat. The 14 minimum damage makes it stand quite a bit ahead of bows' 2,3 (4&5) 1 free sox. This bow competes with the non-ias bows in terms of overall damage.
2. Beyondtheft owned. Not sure who has it now. 1 free sox.
3. FrederikJenson owned. Not sure who has it now. 1 free sox.
There are several bows all around the same damage as no.3 btw. IAS Bows allow for a gaze setup or a ED dual stat-dual jewel to be used instead of a 30ed 15 ias jewel, so the 10% can be translated directly into damage (making these bows much desired).
CTC, Top 3 Shadow Bows All Realms(1 & 3 on europe nonladder, 2 on West Nonladder).

1. Hellskin owns. pretty amazing damage already on the bow and it has CTC.
2. Johnnyboay owned. Not sure who has it now.
3. Mine, previously owned by Heesh and used on a bowa called ElishaCuthbert (ftw!). decent bow.
There are several bows all around the same damage as no.3 btw but to be honest apart from dueling Barbarian / Shape Druids, the CTC will rarely spawn. 7 FPA bows are alot better with the CTC mod since the damage dealt is less resulting in more opprtunities for CTC to spawn (especially combined with 1.08 saracens amulet).
On Repost I will try to include the top 7 fpa Bows (20ias, with and with out CTC).
Remember if you have a Shadow Bow that beats these, then please post it sothat I can add it to the list.
