Just wanted to know if that synergy bug or whatever still work where you would get nicer bonespears from brand if u equip marrowwalk?
I also would like to know if theres any crossbow that can compete with gmb?(i plan to use that skill where she autotargets enemies and shoots alot of arrows rapidly after another). Now i can understand that gmb is simply the best but if any crossbow can come close it would be nice to know (want it to look like a shoot from the hip machinegun)
btw i have a 15% ed 4 sock gorgon....worthless?|||The marrow walk bug has been fixed.
An no, there isn't a crossbow that can compete with the top end bows.
Crossbows simply are to slow, even when using strafe and there is very little reason why you would use crossbows. They don't offer anything you can't find on bows as the high end bows are runewords or windforce.
A buriza can compete with the lower end bow though eventhough it's a bit slow.
P.S. And why do you want a crossbow? If you want a machine gun, I would use the fastest thing you can have, and that's a bow.|||What about the Repeating Xbow/Chu-Ko-Nu/Demon Xbow? I know the base damage isn't alot, but their base speed is the fastest, I believe. Although, the amount of strength spent might be too steep.|||well the reason i want a crossbow is purely for the looks.
basically im just trying out some stuff...allready got some good pvm chars for most uses
What if i used the demoncrossbow to make faith and then use act 2 might merc with pride?....it would be wnough if that build would do descent in hell games 1-3 players|||Quote:

Demon crossbow is fast, but low damage. So if your damage comes from skills (mostly elemental damage), they can be used. Only drawback is that you'll get trouble with leech, due to the low physical damage. I say it's doable to build a char around them, but you'll have to find some way around leech (insight prayer merc for example).
Most Amazon builds use either MS or strafe, which are out due to the low physical damage of the chu-ko-nu. Frozen arrow has a cast delay, so it can't use the extra speed. That means that this bow could be good for explosive arrows (as you can spam those). This is also reflected in the Demon machine, the unique Cku-ko-nu. For the above mentioned reasons, both faith and ice runewords shouldn't be made in a chu-ko-nu. Brand could be a nice step up from demon machine, but the few times I've built around the machine (enchantress and Holy Fire bowadin), I never needed more damage really...
So it's a viable weapon on some builds, but most bowazons use more damaging bows so they can use MS or Strafe to fill up on life and mana.|||for the love of God Kardinaal. fell assleep during amazon 1.1?

Demon crossbow is slow. No matter how you cut it, crossbows are capped at 12 fpa normaal attack and 4 fpa strafe. Something like that.
Much slower then bows.
And anyway, even if it could go faster, with the huge ias around these days - like faith - I think going for damage is more important. Hence why people prefer faith gmb over faith faith mat.

Frozen arrow isn't even a skill. It's Freezing arrow and it does not have a casting delay.
P.S. If you want to go for the looks, you want to use burriza. It's by far the best crossbow. And it has a number of interesting mods that other bows and crossbows lack.
Such as freezing attack, auto pierce etc.|||Quote:

All that really needs to be said about xbows.
Even with 5000% IAS, xbows will always be slower, they're hard-capped. End of discussion.|||Everything that droid and NASE said.
I think the information that you're looking for is simply 'use Buriza". It is leagues ahead of all other xbows and while I would never say it beats a Faith GMB or Windforce, it certainly is an extremely capable endgame weapon. If you are determined on using an xbow for aethetic reasons then Buriza is really the only option you have, but a good one. (Your gear setup will definitely look different to a bowazons though)
