Imp Flight is pretty good for normal difficulty, but not much beyond that. But what do you all think about the other two? Upgrade candidates?

They are all too slow for upgrading.

They're decent enough for Normal and early NM, but not after that.

ed too low, no ias, no good AR bonus. Would be better off using exceptional uniques.

I wasted my time making a new zon for the whole purpose of using these bows :sad:

use them until you can find better...i have great respect for zons who use rares.

Of the three. . .I would take the repeating crossbow and use that until something better dropped.

Actually. . .that weapon could last you well into Nightmare level depending on what build you are making. You should also try to find some poison damage charms (100+ damage over 6 seconds preferably- you want the duration here as much as the damage) to boost the damage of the slower firing rate. The idea here is to put more damage behind each bolt instead of more bolts per second as you would with a bow. Make each shot count. I personally like crossbows- properly augmented with poison they are nice weapons (or alternatively you could augment with other elemental damage types, but I like poison best).

I'm with SuperDave on this. . .Rares have Mucho style over the cookie cutter weapons and runewords.
