1. chuchu requires 10ias total throughout the entire build(meaning you could go 0 ias on bow and 10ias on glove and meet maximum)

2. gothic bows can use the twitch build with 10ias on the bow, but not other builds requiring 20ias

3. all other bows need 20ias

these are pretty much the only 3 bow senarios you have to remember, easy when you pretty much say to yourself, all bows need 20ias pretty much chu/gothic exeption

ok thanks for the info.. dont know much about bows

so this no good i guess then?

no i dont think so

a double bow with no ias shoots the same speed as a rune bow with 20ias

so basically what you really actually have here is a

27-84
20ias
rune bow

i think people ussually junk a 27-84 damage rune bow ussually even 90-95damage rune bows are extremely hard sells

sorry close tho, 20ias this would have prolly been the best low level double on d2r was super close

ok nice to no thanks

edge bow too?

1. hunter, <~lower teir version of a(razor) / composite,<~lower teir version of a(double)

2. short battle, short war, edge, short siege <~lower teir versions of a (rune)

3. long bow, long battle, cedar, large siege, <~lower teir versions of a (gothic)

all lower teir bows generally have most of the main breakpoints as the end game teir version

example
short battle, short war, edge, short siege <~lower teir versions of a (rune)

all of these bows have the same breakpoint as a rune bow

so really there is only 3 breakpoints you have to remember, double,gothic,rune after those 3 bow types
they are all pretty much just "baby gothics" or "baby runes" etc

idk if thats hard to remmeber but a good way to look at it also is some of them are alot longer then others
and require like 2x4 as to where the rune class all require 2x3 i guess is another way to look at it
(im referring to the visual size of the bow and how many inv slots it takes up)

this is how i can prolly give you accurate ias breakpoints for any random bow even if its never used
like a long bow for example, well same size as a gothic bow, and in the gothic bow family so it has
the same breakpoints as a gothic bow

i have seen 1 or two differences here and there but generally for the main builds 20ias is needed acrossed the board
with rarely any exeptions

Nvm I'll make my own post real quick lol
