it's a good bow i used it some in lod. if you wanted to use exploding arrow without allocating very many points it would work for that. it works for a bow sorc 2.

If you're looking to make a fire bowazon, brand ain't the way to go. Brand is great for necros or sorcs.

For a fire bowa, you want Phoenix bow or a 5socket gmb with Facets. You need the +skills to make fire dmg useful on a bowazon.

brand is not particularly useful since the amp proc is 'when struck', not 'on attack' or 'on striking'. building a bow char (i.e. offensive bc no shield) that needs to get hit is somewhat odd imo

works great as a merc bow for an enigma barb in act 5, lots of spells won't trigger it in the non expansion zones though. and if you let the merc's defense get too high, it won't proc much at all
