I just have to say wow about Bow VS Xbow


Bow is awesome...I didn't realize how slow and cumbersome xbow was until I switched back.


Windforce > manticore imho!

Yup. The attack speed and base damage make up for the amount of crit damage a manticore offers.

Depends on the value of the calamity :D

My preference is Rare Revenant bow / Windforce for performance vs gold spent. Calamity is GFG but for one that competes you are looking at 1bil+ and I'd personally still choose a rare rev bow with almost perfect rolls. Manticore is godly too but you have to adjust your play style and prepare to hit and run.

It's really all preference though honestly, I built to survive and for actual DPS per second I can't match the rev bows.

Insane attack speed, chance of getting a single target mark of death, and its got double crit. The problem is the lower end ones have crap damage ranges so you aren't going to hit very hard. I looked into the build and it gives good DPS and mobility, but I stuck with Revenant bows for certain things Calamity lacks like high end damage, life steal, and stats.

Definitely worth it if you can afford GFG ones and don't mind the trade offs.

A Good Calamity (12xx - 13xx dam 8x-100 crit and socket) alone would be between 500m and 1+b.
Maybe Danettas with Good rolls (10xx dam, 8x-100 crit, 170-200dex +sock) could be a lower cost alternative with quiver. But I havent tested yet if a Bow or xBow in this price range is better or not.
