Doesn't need skills just the base with 4os please. Anyone have one?

Bump

Not sure if it’s helpful, but I have one with no os and the socket quest will give you 4. It does however have +3 to skills so was aiming for 50fg for it.

I also think I am asking for the wrong bow? 😅 it's been a while, but is it Grand Matron or Matriarchal Bow is best for act 1 merc? 🤔

Hey no worries that’s what the community is for! Tbh if you don’t care about resale value you’d be fine with a great bow or shadow bow. The zon bows typically carry more of a premium bc of those plus skills. Most people choose speed over damage so matriarchal bow is ideal between the two you mentioned. More speed = more leech. Grand matron hits harder but is slower. I’m sure there are exceptions and I’m definitely no expert, so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Edited for clarity

Ah thanks so much! Yeah, I think the speed is much more beneficial for me. Her damage is almost negligible anyway when I'm spamming fireball xD just wanted a better base than the one I've been using since Normal.

For sure. People mainly use their mercs for procs and auras and speed is king for procs. You might be surprised how hard a well equipped merc can hit though! Any reason you’re not running insight on a2 merc if you’re a caster?

I just wanted a change, and it was convenient having a merc stick with me while I tele instead of walking into mobs and dying over and over while I was running through nm and hell xD

If I can't get a 4os soon I will grab yours for 50, yeah. Pretty sure I have 1 soc quest left.

Hey man, I’m an idiot and the max socket for the bow is 5 so I presume you are wanting to make ice or faith?
