All good answers, I did not consider quiver as the bonus or blink arrow.
I'm currently using a minion claw I crafted with bound fossil, and I am pretty sure +3bow/staff provides the most DPS.
On a staff you can roll:
+1 socketed gems
+2 fire gems
+130% minion damage
+38% cast speed
+1 int gems or +1 str (fossil crafting, extremely expensive and you need to get very lucky)
The +1int or +1str works fine since int will hit SRS and str will support empower.
With empower 4 + 21 SRS + 3 from staff and +1 extra from staff to empower, you will have a level 28 SRS.
With the vaal crafting, if you double corrupt a skin of the loyal into +1 gems and +2 duration gems, you can potentially get 28 SRS as well.
Bow:
+1 socketed gems
+2 fire gems (with essence craft)
You cannot roll the +1 int gems on the bow because you won't be able to get both +2 fire and +1 int since one requires essence craft and the other is fossil craft, but realistically the facted fossil craft is very expensive so aiming for +3 is already good enough.
There was an Baron Helmet on Reddit that had double Corruption with +2 to Fire Gems and +2 to Duration Gems. With +2 to MinionGems from Baron itself you can do your own Math!-)
Lvl 28 SrS is reachable with an +3 Staff as well. Lvl 21 SrS+ 3 from Staff and an Empower lvl 4.
