best bow?

[Nystul]

Nystul, can you clarify here:

". . . since magic becomes the primary damage source anyway."

Are you talking about incoming damage (from Witches and such) or outgoing damage (from CL, FBall, SC, and the like)?

I meant outgoing damage, especially from CL. Of course, this is dependent on playing style. Many rogues will play almost as a pure archer on the first time through, but end up being more of an archer/mage hybrid as they repeatedly work through nightmare and hell difficulty. The less they rely on archery for damage, the less useful a bow of swiftness would be in comparison to an obsidian (or emerald) bow of heavens.

Of course, if you reach the point where you are *only* killing things with spells, then a Dreamflange would be the weapon of choice. But real rogues only use bows, so that's just crazy talk. :whistling:
