damage calc is down atm

ashwood with + skills (5% ed a skill lvl plus lower mana) generally wins

28-104 with 18 dex and 15% extra overall ed? yes please!

ashwood is 22.5 avg
double is 18.5 avg
rune is 24.5 avg

runebow could get higher damage
ashwood is second highest damage, but can get an additional 10% skill ed (or 20% if use an affix and get a 4 bc bow lol)
double bow will do less damage but have an extra socket

I'd take ashwood with 2 bow skills over any of those with similiar affixes



Ashwood 16x ed 20 ias 2 sock 5%amp 10+ max 2 bow/xbow should be best no?
Or double bow same mods, sans automods that ashwood can get

E: only thing that could be better would be dex over max, what is the max at lvl 30? 9 dex iirc

9 dex max 30
rare bows can get 20 max damage

does rune bow not figure here, even with the shael, owing to the high base damage of the bow?

2 gothics to help with any possible calculations.
assume p emerald is taken out for 20ed 8-18 jewel OR 20ed _ max dmg -15req jewel (keep in mind you'll need 45ias from gear to reach "best case scenario" bp)
edit: Keep in mind 2 ama vs 3 bow skills - you lose like 5% ed, but gain %crit, among other benefits to survivability.

You have to toss 9 dex/20 max or 5% amp for -req for runebow no?

The former isnt a huge deal i suppose.
Im aligned with andy on ashwood being best. Requirements are managable with a jewel and u get bonus ed/lower mana ga with automods

Amp is a qualitative and quanitative affix id keep it no matter what imo

If rare bow don't have amp, then there's no need for it.

Gothic is a non starter. It's even worse without base -reqs.

You lose a lot of ias stats etc for what, 50 more damage on bow?

It's not worth the extra 40-50 strength and loss of 2 sockets since now you need to use twitch.

50 more bow damage

Vs

40-50% Ed
2 sockets (48 max or 36 max 18 dex)
20 life

Can't you get ias from mods or something? That would be the way to go

Add 2 bc gloves as well
