So if you're dying to get this bow your best bet is to start a new character (and if you do, make sure you settle for nothing less than a perfect spawn of massive which is +110% damage).

Does Diablo use "fractional damage"? If it only uses the integers displayed, then there are only three categories of massive LWB:
Dam +damage%
1-27 93-99
2-28 100-107
2-29 108-110

This is correct, although Massive starts at 96 rather than 93. My rogue has a 107, and does -1 from max dmg possible that a level 50 rogue can get.

That said, Massive Swift does the most damage PER unit of time, but not the most raw damage overall. Windforce doesn't do the most raw dmg either, contrary to popular belief, a Merciless Burning or Thunder LWB can exceed it (figures are for a level 50 rogue wearing Royal Circlet, perfect stars armor, and perfect zodiac jewelry, bows are all LWB...for a rogue wearing Gotter, add 5 pts dmg at both ends):

Emerald Bow of the Heavens: 125-138
Massive Bow of Swiftness: 118-145
Windforce: 119-158
Merciless Burning: 119-170 (includes the 1-16 fire dmg, which isnt shown on the char screen) Smile
Merciless Thunder: 119-174 (1-20, though Burning actually has a higher dmg potential because of the elemental bug, which is multiplied up to 9 x on Burning bows, only 7 x for Thunder)

Merciless elemental bows are truly lethal, ive killed a lvl 50 warrior with 600 hp (with max resists and full life globe) with ONE arrow before in duels, using my Merc Burning. Pretty rare for this to occur, but its possible.
