classic hardcore

what kind of bow should I use?

omg i just found a 6os dimensional blade what should i put in dat shiz

If you use physical bow skills, then a rare Gothic Bow with as high ED% as possible and a minimum 10% IAS if using standard equip. Rune bows and double bows are good too. Faster (more mobility = security) at the expense of DPS. The damage difference between gothic/rune/double is small though if you can get hold of three 9min/4max rings.

If you use cold bow skills, then use Wizendraw unique Long Battle Bow.

That's a pretty complete response, thanks a lot buddy.

What is the standard equip? I'm a newb in classic:D

I'm currently using twitch, angelics, Hsarus' Belt/Boots... :3

Useless in classic.

You could always socket it with a gem to color it for show off in the lobby tho.

Damn, the current bow I use is a 4os with p gems for more damage, thought it could be useful lmao

Standard equip for physical damage bowa:

FHR/res/life rare helmet
+min/+max/leech amu
Twitch
High ED% double/rune/gothic, IAS requirements depends on bow
2x +min/+max/leech rings
Death's set gloves
Death's set belt
Frw/dex/res boots

Possibly AR is needed on the rings since dex will be lower on HC ama.



It's shit, get a high damage bow or Wizendraw depending on type of bowazon.

Last question, how should I distribute my skills?

Depends on what route you choose (physical, fire or cold)

I don't know what's best but AFAIK fire is complete shit, physical is bad, cold is a tad better than physical but requires constant super annoying mana potting and towning. I know for a fact that a physical build will struggle badly in hell on /players 8 even with perfect equip.
