mld items are sex doe

08 string is stylish

Ferdi can comment on where the bows stand I'm sure!

style is kinda limited cause it is named. still a stylish item though, yep

as for the bows:
both are good, but missing quite a bit to compete with top ones
I really like the -req add on the matri, but the missing second socket simply costs 16-32 damage
basically the shadow is a 3 affix bow with a really high ed roll. so quite some affixes left.
10+ ias to allow for 1 ias jewel less in gear, -req, min/max

for reference:
top shadow 444ed 14min 20max 2sox
top matri 20ias 43x ed 2sox (ferdia can put the correct numbers here )

im not good with numbers but pictures also works:



In terms of matri bow's I made a topic a few years ago. while missing 2 sox, Spaz's bow is still the No.3 Matri ~ all realms (With Phazz's bow a close 4th afaik (also with -20% req's). The Shadow bow is top 5 non-ias all realms. Just to draw some attention : while missing mods, <insert item here> can still be the best, or close to the best. there are very few "perfect items" for LLD/MLD out there. Spaz's bow looks optimal for a 8fpa build (have not tried it but i believe there are 2 bowa's that have).

Some items that we have not seen:
30
a total perfect grimscythe eth repl 40ias base 2 sox 165 ed -30 req's (same for 49 with higher ed) (1 on east)
a total perfect Naga / Exec 40ias(can it spawn 40ias) 165ed 2 sox Eth Repl -30 req's (same for 49 with higher ed) (some close)
a total perfect bowa ring (without repl) i.e. 3 min 9 str 7 dex life mana single res (same for 49 with higher ed) (some kinda close)
a total perfect bowa bow (with or without amp) (same for 49 with higher ed) (some close)
a total perfect damage circlet for bowa or total perfect circlet for any build (sry i love bowa's). thats 1 ama / 2psm, +ed + 2 sox + dex +30frw + life

49
2 Barb 3 bo 90+ life +WW 2 sox (none)
2 sox highlands with 30 ias eth repl 4xx (there is one on west i believe).
2cold 20fcr + Mass mana (none)
2 ama 450 ed 2 sox + max + dex shadow (some close)
3max 15 str 15 dex 30 life 90 mana 30 cold/light res. (some close)

its a long list. i dont tend to rate stuff vs best possible, i rate it vs whats known out there.

Thanks for adding that info mate


might be the case for bows that are really in use. I know about at least 4 better ones. sadly they are stashed though
I bet that applies to many of the other listed ones as well. and it will stay like this if no one shows up spending sick amounts of fg here...


30 ias is max for level 30
textbook got a close naga. not quite sure about the ed, but at least 155 iirc


20ias 154ed 5dex 2sox amp double and 20ias 157ed 12max 2sox 2sk ashwood beeing the closest

sick bows of course xD

yeah, still room for improvement though - as always

yea exactly. pure damage on 30 bow please.

hehe, you can try my 184 damage 20ias gothic if you are after pure damage
unfortunately it it comes along with the worst possible affix (1-6 light damage)
and it it still slow as f***

bleh. I need something to make bowa @75res competitive vs a fb'er. hard.
