In it’s time, though, this was an awesome weapon. In offense, it is outshined by nearly all the newer RW’s, and most would agree, just not worth the price nowadays. By the time you are at a level where you can equip it, this bow will blind 100% of the monsters able-to-blinded that it strikes.

You are, however, forced to make it in a slow bow, because of socketing options, but in a self-preservation light, the mods are worth it. This would be the holy grail for a bowie playing hardcore, imho. A very nice mix of an offensive/defensive weapon. It’s mods are truly godly: it’s got huge res all (75!), fhr, ias, blinds target, good dmg, causes monsters to flee, MF, and huge Mana Leech, yipe! This is also good on an act 1 cold rogue for obvious reasons.ģ0% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Items This was some Frost-Maiden-fanatic-who-works-at- blizzard’s wet dream. An FA zon with this cannon in hand can take down packs in the cow level just as fast as an LF zon (!).

With all the cold damage here many of your targets will shatter rendering them useless to revivers for good or bad. It’s also practical, slowing down the crowd quite a bit before they even hit the radius of your Holy Freeze aura, which then slows them down more, if they can even move from being spammed with FA.ĥ) This is all not to mention the deadly strike, the IAS, the AR boost, the ITD, Monster Gold Find, blah, blah, blah it’s just awesome all over your face. This is freak-nasty-looking on a 2 frame Strafer with novas popping everywhere.

See how that treats you, you rich, rich bastard.ġ) The Holy Freeze adds cold damage that stacks on the explosion of FA when it contacts a target.Ģ) Plus the aura slows everything that gets close to you down to a crawl, which makes you very hard to kill/catch to kill.ģ) Packs -cold resistance AND +cold damage.Ĥ) The CTC Frost Nova occurs at the target. Equip this bow, grab a Might merc, and stick a “Pride†on him. And it should bring a tear to the eye of any glass-cannon to see little tanks popping up in the crowd as she mows them down from a distance…
Diablo 2 runewords guide mod#
One mod I feel is overlooked is the 10% reanimate as returned. It’s very fast, even in the slowest bow, due to the Fanatacism aura it grants. Considered the Swiss-army knife of all bow choices: it’s sooo godly that any bow-based-build (zon or otherwise) would be a force-to-be-reckoned-with when packing this gun. Level 12-15 Fanaticism Aura When Equipped (varies) It was expensive and serves a purpose, but we’re all sure that you’re a moron. It’s kind of like wearing a Dolce & Gabbana tux that’s mustard yellow. This bow is not all that bad, but in terms of style, grace, and general 1337ness, it effing blows. (It has no durablility it can’t spawn eth.) (That’s original gangsta – for those keeping score) rune word for vulgar displays of power, but it’s real potential is unlocked in an eth weapon, which, sadly, a bow can never be. You could just pin a badge on your sleeve that says “n00b” and you would get a similiar effect. The poison nova is annoying/laggy and does futile damage. You have to put it in a slow bow since it requires 6 sockets. A powerful bow to be sure but the cons are many. (Note they did not fix the fend bug )ĥ0% Chance To Cast Level 20 Poison Nova When You Kill An Enemy It took a hard nerfing when they ‘fixed’ the “Marrow Walk Bug” for 1.11. This is great on an act 1 cold rogue, because when she isn’t firing her cold arrows, she’ll be fire exploding arrows, making nothing immune to her. Don’t forget it fires exploding arrows as a normal attack.

Note, this bow is SICK on an enchantress. She was multi/ strafe/FA and her record for a Chaos Sanctuary clear, from the river WP, including big D, was 5 min. off-weapon damage, but +650% damage is nothing to sneeze at no matter how you slice it. This combo yielded me +650% damage to demons. Ladder Season 2, I had a dedicated Chaos-Runner that packed this bow with Laying of Hands. The +damage to demons should not be overlooked on this bow. It’s a powerful bow, with lots of nice mods, but pales in comparison to “ Faith”

(I had a friend name his Boning-Strafer ‘Woosh’ during ladder season 2.) Or very annoying, depending on who you are. Spewing white-magic-damage-death-that-pierces all over a pack of monsters is always fun. Especially when you’ve got a 2 frame strafe going. The 100% CTC Bone- spear may be the coolest looking effect in the game. This is cheap and can be equipped early, but it packs little punch.ģ5% Chance To Cast Level 14 Amplify Damage When Struckġ00% Chance To Cast Level 18 Bone Spear On Striking 7% Chance To Cast Level 1 Twister When Struck
