sec working on the post ^___^'
the FU is 73 Str and 1 sox, and even then its just not "amazing". The aim somehow is get above 1250 ga max damage on a 30 bowa and the exercise was to explore what was needed from a rare to achieve that (short of having amp, as in the bow below, Sepulba's):

if you aime for max possible damage at 9fpa and a str req of <50, a 2sox 20ias base ashwood bow is the way to go (a double offers one more free socket as it does not need a shael for 9fpa, but the ashwood benefits a lot from skill off-weapon ed)
perfect jewel choice for the ashwood would be 20ed 18max -15req (leaves you with 48str req)
the damage would be (incl jewel as above)

130ed | 40-90
165ed | 45-100
130ed 20max | 40-110
165ed 20max | 45-120

desirable 3rd suffixes are 8min and 9dex

closest one I know about is my eagle bolt

How does that Eagle Bolt compare to a Robo?

that depends on the jewels in the robo
do you have a specific one in mind? but I bet you can do the math on your own then

edit:
as reference, I hit 250-1300 ga damage

• no ed circ (I personally would never sacrifice up to 90 mana for that)
  
• stacked res
  
• str bugged light plated boots

could easily achive higher damage when sacrificing res and/or mana

thats with a 45 max 45 res armor, not a 72 max armor. circ is 1 zon 30 frw 29 ed 4-23 dmg 9 dex, dunno what the jewel is (i'm guessing a 4-xx/9dex, have to ask andy for sure)

And that's on a "guest" zon...

Really, 1250 damage isn't inobtainable by any means.

You should be able to hit it with your current bow ferdi. It would require you to tweak your other gear though.

where did you stash my 72/80 bp btw? should put it back on her for zvz and such

sure ill put one back on her

I'm probably going to strength bug boots as well and make an "all around armor" to boost her damage

she also desperately needs better rings (re ones with rep)

i actually double checked my random boots again to see if i'd overlooked a pair of light plated just for that reason lol

and yep. that bow is painful at least you didnt spawn with 10 ias instead of 20 like my amp db lol
