HI. I was checking unique bows and crossbows for elemetal/magic damage for a solution for physical immunes (in hell). The best it seems would be hellrack crossbow.
I am a bowzon. I know there are other solutions like atmas, repears toll or 1 pt+ skills in something like fire/cold damage in the skill tree, but i was looking for just a weap.

I checked the runewords also, the cheap ones, and i saw passion. ...Would berserk work with a bow?

thx in advance.

You can use atmas amulet or/and witchwild String for amplify damage. Wrath rw for decrepify. Both curse remove a lot of phy inmunes.
I would suggest to make an hybrid cold/phy damage. Take a look at mine if you want, i show the items and skills at the end.

thanks for the answer Cantero.

I still would like to know about berserk bow/crossbow..

..If anyone knows ...Thanks. ...It should work right ? Would just like a confirmation.

99% certain that no barbarian attack skills work with bows. Running a barbarian myself at the moment, with harmony just for fun, and i haven't tried any attack skills but i am certain they don't work. Just like assassin charge-up skills. Which is a shame.

You can make the rw in a bow, but you can't use berserk or zeal.

magic arrow is not an option for you?

Wrath is a good option. 30% chance to cast decrip on striking. some magic and light dam as well as cannot be frozen so u could equip a really well rolled rare ring or something instead of raven frost. or have an enchantress chant u. Im building a zon that uses harmony so i can revive monsters that shoot fire or exploding arrows and then enchant them.

Sorry in advance for my ideas, they are just that: ideas has they come to me. Not much follow through



thanks, and...confirmation in the next post...Too sad



thanks for confirming that.



with my +5 all skills, magic arrow is too low. I converts only 6% of physical to magic.
MrLLamasc seems to go with only 1 pt in Cold arrow....maybe, idk, again with only +5 all skills atm, it seems meh.
Thanks for the taught.



Ah...chant of a sorc...Thats another story :)...But you make me think of demon limb though. It would synergize exploiding arrows (2 pts needed)

Decrepify owns!! A reapers toll merc maybe even the 2nd best after pride...Opinions? And there is also the obedience merc. The chant wouldnt work for me, but...idk, could he handle well the pi's?
But i dont have atm
Wrath is expensive man
Also with a team..its not really a problem for me. I was thinking when i'm alone in game.

Decripify wands dont exist right? But hey...You just made me think: THE CHEAPEST OPTION IS: amp damage wand switch. And its shopable

There we go.

I was looking for options without loosing any points into anything that is not the physical tree

I've heard also of the lacerator option on switch.

And what the heck, why not something on switch that is not a bow like a gimmershred or thunderstroke. With that much magic damage, im almost certain i would not need any points in the javelin tree.

Anyway guys, you gave me a lot of ideas.

...And i still want to try hellrack ha ha ha. Give me a feedback on that one!

Amplify isnt available on wands. the only item that gives u amplify charges is gravel of pain martel de fer. The world record run for ubers used 3 or 4 of em instead of lifetap. but an atmas and a single point into magic arrow is all u should need. unless ur in an area with lots of phys immunes in which case u could use reapers merc instead of faith or pride merc.

No, those are not shopable.
