So... Should I?

[Hacknshoot]

Aargh... I just got my second ever +3 Grand Matron Bow... I want to roll for sockets this time, too, but the last time, I only got one socket. Should I roll this one, or do something else?

I don't want it to be one-socketed again, but if it comes out with 4, then I don't have anything good for it either- I don't have the runes for Faith yet, and it's not like anyone would just give an Ohm, Jah, and Lem away.

Thanks for your advice on this matter.

Edit: Also, what is used in a 3os Phase Blade? With my EXTRA Ral(the other one is being saved for the GMB if there's a good reason to roll it), I rolled one, and I don't know what good it's for, either. Go figure. :\

You won't be able to trade it for much, since there's a chance a cube roll won't yield 4 sockets. But if you do get four sockets, you could trade it or make Harmony out of it. Pretty cheap runes. You could do both too; use it as Harmony until you're done with it, then unsocket the runes and trade the bow for a considerable amount.

Crescent Moon is usually used in 3os phase blades, I think.

Your faith was good. Heh. I'm so glad you told me to go for it.

This (http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/8650/screenshot0483ii.jpg) was the awesome outcome. Low ED, I know, but who cares? :D

Nice turnout! You know that bow (at least on USWL) is worth ~Ist. :) If you don't like the Harmony ED, then you could just unsocket and try again. The runes are fairly easy to obtain.

I'm poor... :lol: (save my Mal, Mal, Um combo which I am hopefully saving for later. Although they won't net me a Fortitude... :p) A Ko is pretty hard for me to get- unless 3 Lums make one, in which case I would only need one more to get the Ko. *Goes to check AS for rune upgrades* Then, I'd need another Hel. *shudders*

wow nice,good damage,that bow is gonna kick butt!

[Hacknshoot]

I still think I should re-roll it later. I liked the Cow Level when I got a Gul and Skullders off them in the same game- I ADORE them now.

a +10 base speed bow with only 220 max dmg and no IAS is worth an ist on ladder?

just how screwed up is the economy ?

[Hacknshoot]

It also has the highest damage of any bow, and with +bow skills, and with Faith(which is always 330%, mine is a low 205% Harmony), it gets somewhat fast and really damaging. The +bow skills are also useful for stuff such as Freezing Arrow, since that means you'll have even more damage- if it's somewhat slower, try doing more damage in that long period of time. That's Buriza's stand.

The BASE bow is worth ist. That's because a 4s +3 GMB isn't easy to come by. With the correct and hard to achieve high runes needed for the runeword FAITH, combined with that seemingly lousy bow, as suggested, the outcome is terrifying. (for the monsters or pvp opponents)

that bow is sickkkkkkkk!

[Hacknshoot]

Jeez, I didn't expect this much hype over the bow. I'm still trying to get a Hel, although I have a trade set up for that. I now need a Flawed Amethyst and I'll be set for another Harmony. What's the chances that the ED will be worse than this? :p
