question about bows in diablo 1

[Kal]

Any other bow of swiftness, even without prefix is better than The Needler. cth% bonus is not really need for a Rogue.
For low levels, playing Iron Man I found using plain short battle bow, or even white composite more effective, cause it adds stun some times and The Needler - not (because of very low damage), now on Iron Man I always decide to not identify it.

Good points, like I said, I mostly enjoy using it for its relative obscurity rather than its superior functionality, though I've never had the pleasure of finding the GnatSting in Hellfire, I'm working my way through Marsh's 1.02 mod now, so here's hoping.
