Need help with BOTD bow selection

[d2 junkie]

I got the runes for a breath of the dying bow and this are my choices blank now:
crusader bow
Hydra bow
colossus xbow
All 13% + ed superior 6 sockets,so wich one its the best to make BOTD for my strafazon and why,thx in advance to your comments and sugestions :thumbsup:

Its stupid to make on a bow because nova is around you, not arrow strike...but i would say to go with the hydra if you're stuck on it...

[KreepyThaDruid]

In SP, the nova seemed to be around the target I shot, Not me... :)

Well, last time i've seen a BotD bow...it was 1.10 beta. And there it would come from the zon, not from the target.

yes you are rigth the poison nova comes out of the zon but that I dont think is even worth much for melee chars without synergies.So I dont much care about that benefit this is wut matters to me
60% IAS :thumbsup:
350%-400% ED
-25% target defense
7% mana leech
12-15% life leech
30 to ALL atributes

So I dont think there is any other bow unique or not that comes close to this possible stats,and please correct me if Iam wrong thx.
So coming back to the question what bow/xbow should I choose and Why :thumbsup:

crusader all the way.
same average dmg as hydra, but lower str/dex requisites and better min dmg.

my choice anyway.
