I have a question about honorifics.

Just as an experiment (Im new to the game) I decided to craft an honorific stag bow. What confuses me is, I put in four Mystic Orbs, two for enhanced damage and two for enhanced weapon damage. But my sheet damage hardly changed (the only change being max sheet damage increasing by a lowly 5 damage). I then added 5 x perfect skulls which also for some reason failed to make any change in sheet damage. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? I am measuring it with the trinity arrow and phalanx skills equipped.

Also the bow has no damage showing on it, something Ive also noted with several other bow types. Why is this and how does it impact actual damage?

Thanks all,

Cheers

Stag bow is an elemental base and is not affected by enhanced damage. You should use a reflex bow

Hi Diaco thanks mate that clears it up nicely :-)

Lesson learned!

PS: Actually I did have one more noobish question ...

Im making a bow amazon. Im taking my time working through, currently in act 5, normal difficulty, clvl 51.

What bow do you think I should look for until I get advanced enough for Reflex to drop? Could you recommend a unique, runeword or a crafted (which base?)

I did run with Shark on a long war bow for until a couple of levels ago, when I made the honorific stag bow, which Im using just until I get something much better.

Cheers and thanks again

Gamble a Reflex Bow. As easy as that. You might also want to read this:

This is Wulf’s bowzon guide. Very well done, it will help you knowing everything you need.

Any know something alternative boots for Spirit walker? Spirit walker so expensive but i need much more pierce until i get it.(Im cold sorc). Crafted boots not rly give me enought -res

Is the damage from a bowzon's wyrm shot considered fire damage? Might seem like a dumb question since its a dragon but the ability never explicitly says that it is and when I look at my damage the numbers show up blue.

Physical damage. No conversion.

Tried using - cold resistance runes in sockets ? I used this with the cold set early on for my cold sorc.

The Dreamcatcher

The Dreamcatcher

Item Level: 80
+(1 to 3) to All Skills
20% Cast Speed
-(4 to 10)% to Enemy Elemental Resistances
Elemental Resists +(20 to 25)%

also provides some, and you can make it via crystals. Watch for rare rings also.

Yeah i put only Thai runes to any boots but i need near-25 only from boots to get enought. Without -170 pierce i cant do the 120 ubers or maybe i do something wrong :/

170 pierce is for lvl 130 ubers. With 135ish you should be fine.

ohh..i thought 170 pierce need for 120+ uber bosses.thats make difference then

Thank you. I thought at pierce caps 135=Hell means its for normal mobs,and not uber bosses

You will do fine with 135. There is room for improvement that is for sure, but it won’t stop you from gaining charms. Aim for 170 on like Uldyssian.

I don’t remember the exact numbers except for 170% Uldyssian and Deimoss/Samael 199%. I had around 135-140 on my sorc for lvl 120-125 stuff and I did ok.
