Planning to play a bow class in the next season.
Is there any other class than Bowazon, Bowdruid or Bowbarb worth being used?
Even if its crazy build using oskills.

Bow sorceress has the fastest animation with that weapon class. See also

, strong spell which uses a bow.

Thanks that is interesting combination. Do you think the minibuild Bow Sorceress https://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=491#link31 is still valid ? Most builds on a non bow specific classes uses arrow swarm isnt there any alternative ?

Can ranged toons like a bowzon or something utilize UA? Or is it just for melee only like life on attack?

[ChuckNoRis]

Do you think the Alleria is still valid ?

the bow sorceress miniguide is a bit outdated in what regards the gearing , as since Sigma came out you can use

for early-mid game (which isn't that bad for end game either) , some chances to proc on some gear parts were also reduced compared to 2017 , the TU ice flayer from switch attack was murdered , but the skillplan remains the same .

unfortunately there isn't something better for early-mid game than arrow swarm if you want to build a bow character that does not have a bow tree . For end game you may also try

Can ranged toons like a bowzon or something utilize UA? Or is it just for melee only like life on attack?

uninterruptible attack is beneficial for all cast and attack animations.

[Frostbern]

Vizjun and fauztinville - rar rings/rar amuls/rar jewels = 40-68 lvl. (hell) Where to find 80-99 lvl ?

[suchbalance]

Required level is different from item level. In the interface options you can tick "display item's level" and then look for the "item level" line on your items.

[Frostbern]

Thank you very much! I'm blind...)

[Zodnuck]

In D2:LoD, the characters had level bonuses when it came to attack rating and chance to hit calculation. That is to say, for calculation's sake, the game added (or substracted) from the character's actual level, which would give some characters a better chance to hit than another one with identical stats. The calculated level bonuses were
+20 for Barbarians and Paladins
+15 for Assassins
+5 for Amazons and Druids
-10 for Necromancers
-15 for Sorceresses

Does the same calculation happen in MXL?
