First off, wicked guide. I started playing MXL two weeks ago after a 15-year hiatus from D2. You've been a huge help getting me back into a game that I love, with a twist. Thank you.

Regarding gear, you never mention the

reflex bow; I stumbled on it by chance in TA and was surprised at it's absence from the guide. I never really liked how regular Wyrmshot ("rW") felt, but Rapid Wyrmshot ("RW") (https://median-xl.fandom.com/wiki/Rapid_Wyrmshot) feels ****in' awesome. It's like using a buzz saw.

I've run done some comparison runs and have hypothesized that a mid-tier drop Askarbydd (doing ~4k RW dmg) cuts through Dunc, TA, and K3K at roughly the same speed (if not slightly faster) than a mid-tier crafted Reflex Bow (doing ~6k rW dmg). I'm wondering whether I should be rolling reflex bows or scouring Dunc for higher Askarbydd rolls.

TLDR; what are your thoughts on Askarbydd?

you can do both. 6-9ds is way better than a single marksmen UMO. and the leftover space you can use for marksmen.

ty for the kind words

the reason there is no mention of askarbydd in the guide is because regular wyrmshot is better for farming (18 targets instead of 2), and phalanx has higher dmg output against bosses. another thing is rapid wyrmshot is very mana intensive to the point where you will not be able to spam it even with mana leech and mana regen MOs.

if you love playing with the bow, go right ahead though. i always recommend trying out things for yourself. the guide is just a path through the forest that i present; you may however choose your own itinerary

Thank you for the reply ^^

askarbydd is still great for situations such as xazax, belial. it helped me get their charms on my ssf bowa

no doubt! that definitely helps, i've been going back and forth as to whether the 18 targets outperforms the 13 attacks a second.

out of curiosity, how much dmg do you think someone at lvl 130 should be doing with your build?

thanks again homie [i like to use the 'namaste hands' emoji to say thx but the forum won't let me... just try to envision them being here i guess, lol]

At lvl 135 for uldy fight, my budget zon had 7k wyrm and 14k phalanx (50 pr, 117fcr). Lategame wyrmshot will reach around 10-12k dmg.

Glorious Book of Median can be upgraded with both Archbishop Lazarus Trophy and Book of Cain on the same charm?

Thank you so much.

just keep crafting until you find a bow with higher min and max dmg. dont bother with runewords or uniques. BiS would be 200ed, 120 min dmg, 320 max dmg, ctc arrow/knife, on double abandonned bases. its nearly impossible to find.

for general questions about charms and such, you can ask in discord general chat or short question thread
