Didn't find any post about Brand runeword specifically (apart from the "Tales from a Bowmancer"), so I was wondering could that rw be utilized somehow but also not necessarily bound by Necro only? I was actually having a lot of fun with Guided Arrow on both my Bowadin (cold ranger Paladin) and just leveling up Physical Bowazon (which ended up using Windforce mainly with Strafe and occasionally with Multi Shot but rarely GA even tho it's usually part of that build as well). I was playing a lot with Widowmaker and it's "magical arrow basic attack" is a lot of fun alone, plus when you mix GA on top of that it's super fun and lot less stressful about proper positioning and whatnot.
I would assume that having Brand yields more actual dmg than just using Widowmaker, right?
Now my main question is... If I was to use the Brand, how would it behave in combination with other skills since it has that 100% proc of Bone Spear? Like for example with Multi Shot? -And since it has a basic explosive arrows, does that means when you fire 1 shot with Multi Shot only your middle arrow is followed by a single Bone Spear which then explodes on impact mimicking explosive shot but you also get a lot of physical arrows or you it just fills your whole screen with a bunch of Bone Spears or how in the actual hell does that work? Also how does it behave in combination with, for other example, Guided Arrow's auto-targeting? The basic idea was to make a full Magic-based Bowzon (maybe a Magic CBowzon? who knows) and see how it goes.
Also would it be smart to build it in a non-Amazon specific bow so other class(es) can use it too, for example, I have another thing in mind and that is to make a Bow Necro but using Brand exclusively (maybe in combination with something less often used like Bone Spirit). On that second note, having fully synergized Bone Spear should significantly improve it's proc dmg, right?
Your opinions, suggestions and experience will be essential for tailoring my path.
P.S. I know Nate ended up using Faith for his RA and he said it made his Necro be "on a different level" than with the Brand, but I really want to try out Brand as a rw and see how it behaves. However I'm not that eager in jumping into that adventure absolutely blindly since I'm kinda low on all HRs and my Offline characters need some serious bases (offline grind became very meh for me).
