Np

Also if you use maxroll to compare, its super bugged for bowazon sadly

And I noticed in your comparisons, you didnt use gear or passive skills
This is very far from reality
You got good dmg from insight cuz of the +3 it gives to your passive skill
But you’d have that skill with your other bows too, the the difference would be like 2-3%, not 32%
And so on… many other missing info that fucked by extremely large margins your comparisons

Again, if you can afford it… Brand in a colossus crossbow
The only thing that could be close to this option is a 100% gfg rare xbow worth big money


I now don't think delay is an issue as long as there are more than 2 monsters, even if your attacks are as fast as 3 frames (not sure if it's possible at all):

Hits A, hits B and hits C, 6f between B and C, then hits A. No delay issue here.

And +3 from GMB/MB are attractive, when you want to keep min as 10. Otherwise you gotta keep bunch of Bow GCs.

I gotta check Inner Sight too. Not sure if it's good enough from A1 merc vs Ubers :thumbsup:

I believe any of Faith/Wrath/Pride/Mist works well ;)

As for merc's choice:

A1 merc casts Inner Sight, which helps me hit Ubers. And She can use Riphook and Blackhorn's Face = slow 50%, which can reduce dmg from Ubers.

A5 merc tanks Ubers so that I can keep distance from them. He can use Coldsteel Eye and Lawbringer = slow 30% and decrep = slow 50%.

Hmm... which is better?

Upped goldstrike arch, very very underrated bow. Also upped Witchwild string.
Wrath runeword, not very budget, but procs decrep + lifetap and has 20% CB + CBF. Brand runeword has insane +damage to demons and that sweet 35% amp damage proc when you get hit.

A5 merc > A1 merc for ubers imo. A1 merc is way too squishy and dumb. A5 merc is at least beefy enough to take some hits.
If you want another source of big slow you can consider "Stone" runeword for your armor. It has level 16 Clay Golem charges which gives 60% slow. It won't survive very long of course.

thx for the input!

yeah, goldstrike arch's up to 450ed vs Ubers is nice to have.

If I go with a1 merc, then I'll use WWS vs Uber Meph for sure!

Wrath is nice weapon. As a matter of fact, I used to use it along with Harmony ;)

Now I'm keen to Insight GMB. Higher ED, massive AR and I can use +3 GMB which helps strafe to 10 bows. lvl 32 Strafe is the target here.

The most single target dps you can get is using Brand in a colossus crossbow


I found a Colossus Crossbow! but 5Os... Mist(Cham + Shael + Gul + Thul+ Ith) time? lol

If you want to go super budget, hustle diamond or matriatchal bow grants you fastest ias bps on all attacks in an instant.

As I wrote, I'll use Strafe as main attack.

and the following is what I've learned a couple days ago:

Eaglehorn looks beautiful! ty for the recommendation.

If you have between 42 and 45 IAS, then attack frames with Strafe will be:

5+(3)+9

If you had min and max attacks as 10, and because delay is 4 frames, so:

5 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 9
g - g - n - g - n - g - n - g - n - g
where g means to be checked with hit calculation, n not, which means always misses vs 1 opponent like Uber.

4 out of 10 never hit on 1 target.


But yeah, this is not an issue if there are more than 2 mobs there.

BTW, I've found 3x 5Os Colossus Crossbow and 1x 6Os Sup Colossus Crossbow, but no 4Os ones... :cry:
