LitII vs...Creepy elastic bow?

[Ystradmynach]

I really didn't understand any of those numbers until the last part, but thanks!

So it looks like this bow is just for lightning-immune enemies (pretty rare huh?), max dps players or players without the resources for a LitII. Thanks everyone! ^_^

Also, Koch is assuming you have an epic bloodstone and a ranged alacrity item, if you don't the bow of sinew is going to come out somewhat better. Also, holy burst doesn't work on neutral mobs, so that again would decrease damage output on the lit II bow.

This varies so much based on build, gear, and damage bonuses.

Just updated for Bow of Sinew and U9 bane+vorpal specials.


On my AA, vs non-fortified mobs, the Bow of Sinew sits just over one point per hit behind Lit II with bard buffs and around 5 points without. That means it gets pulled out if there is any lightning resistance (since it hits burst, blast, and strike), neutral mobs (lose 7pts from holy), aggro management issues, using a trinket other than bloodstone (spell absorb, feather fall, etc..), or vs weird DRs (hounds).

If I get into that perfect group with a halfling for hero's companion it's my top bow for the duration .
