Diablo 2 Elite Bows Guide

Bows are excellent weapons, especially for those who dare not risk hand-to-hand combat. Skilled archers can fell the most powerful of opponents without subjecting themselves to direct physical danger. Amazons are perhaps the most skilled archers in existence. Stories have circulated of Amazons who, through skill and training, can shoot projectiles enchanted with the essence of fire or ice.

Bows require dexterity for quick assessment and steady aim as well as for the ability to rapidly nock and loose arrows.

Arrows - Bow wielders must always be alert to ensure that their supply of ammunition doesn't run out in the midst of battle. Bows use quivers that can be filled with up to 350 arrows. Arrows are stackable items and partial quivers of the same type can be combined.

Bows do not have Durability.

Bow speeds are listed by Class: Ama = Amazon, Asn = Assassin, B = Barbarian, D = Druid, N = Necromancer, P = Paladin, S = Sorceress.
