Chukonu vs demon crossbow for brand?

Planning on making another brand for my enchantress or even a cool necro or bear necro that uses it for the synergized bone spear.

Is the extra damage worth the high str requirment of the demon crossbow which is 141 and 98 dex compared to the chu ko nu which is 80 str, and 95 dex?

Rn i actually have one demon crossbow brand so maybe i should just make a lower str req one?

It really depends. You see, where Chukonu is more practical, demon crossbow is more xXxtreme to the max. So it’s all about which type of person you are.

haha im deff extreme. the demon crossbow has 50% more base damage i forgot to say which is nice for killing fire immunes

For sorc chukonu has 66 piercing.
For bear necro brand has mode damage and ctc amp and 100% Level 18 Bone Spear

ah ok. im thinking about making a regular bow necro with the synergies maxed lol. using brand ofc. u could even make a bear necro that uses eth bonehew. oh u mean demon machine chukonu? right now my enchantress is using an upped demon machine. any reason to use an upped demon machine? or should i use a reg demon machine? also using dream helm instead of shako. To help kill fire immunes. its too bad the double fire mastery doesnt work for ranged attacks. only melee.

Physical damage is crap for a bow sorc. Use it without upping it.

ok i wish i hadnt already upped it what would be the best 15 ias and other mod jewel to use? should i just use a 40 15 if i have one? or maybe something with fire damage or something cool and different?

I'm pretty sure you will need resistances, so 15ias 15@res it may be the best option. Shael for a cheap option.

Sorry guys to disturb you...I'm not bringing solutions for you, but since it was about crossbows/bows, i taught asking if you could check my thread please...Should be an easy answer. ty.
