[ESCL] Rare Cruel, Fool's, Amp Damage bow

Thanks for any and all responses.|||That is a great roll, 2 off perfect ED to go with Amp and Fool's... on the other hand 2 mods are essentially wasted, and light res isn't that helpful either. It's a great bow, but it doesn't have IAS. I know you are viewing this with a pally which shows "fast attack speed" instead of the very fast that a zon would show, but that's still a very slow attack.

I think this bow is worth something because of the roll, but finding a buyer will be near impossible since you want to find someone who

1. Prefers rares for their style points

2. Has a ton of other IAS gear on (might even need a faith merc)

It's a shame there's no dueling around level 51, because that would be a very sweet weapon I would think, but it completely gets obliterated by faith so you need to find someone who really appreciates a good rare, and that person would probably want something even better (namely with IAS).

I don't know what else to say, pricing rares is always very tricky unless they are out of this world godly, or rings/ammy/circlets.|||Lack of IAS and +skills means this can't beat an Eagle horn or WF, which you can get dirt cheap. Its one of those "almost, but not quite" rares. As nice as it is, I don't think its really tradable.|||I actually don't think its that far behind Windforce. The AR is a big bonus from this bow, and the chance to cast Amp results in

1. Increased Damage overall

2. The ability to remove physical immunes, so no need to use Atma's freeing up the amulet spot on some builds.

The main bonuses WF has are the Knockback (can be made up for with some good gloves) and the mana leech (need a good dual leech ring). It would be slightly trickier than building a WF zon but I think the end result would be pretty comparable, and at lower levels this bow probably wins. Another issue I guess is that this bow would sorta suck for Multishot compared to WF, but strafe is comparable.

But ya when you consider that WF is easily gotten for Mal-Ist and is in most cases better, it gives you an idea of what you can expect for this bow. I would keep it regardless as it is a great find, if you do plan to toss it PM me and I might buy it for something.
