Description

Witchwild String is an unpopular, but powerful option for bowazons. The more popular alternatives are Faith and
Windforce. Slightly weaker options include
Buriza-Do Kyanon and
Goldstrike Arch.

The chance to cast
Amplify Damage coupled with Deadly Strike and the two sockets are what makes this item shine. The Deadly Strike reduces the need for
Highlord's Wrath and allows it to be replaced with
Atma's Scarab for more
Amplify Damage.

Unlike most bows, it sports a large bonus to all resistances, which is critical for bowazons as they can't use a shield and are thus very low on resistances. Its weaknesses are its low damage without Deadly Strike and
Amplify Damage, while its lack of IAS is remedied by putting 15 IAS jewels or
Shael Runes into the sockets.

Amazons that wield
Witchwild String are referred to as Witchyzons.

It's worth noting that the 'Fires Magic
Arrows' mod on the bow only works for normal attacks, so it wont work when using skills. It does however fire the
Magic Arrow skill without paying the mana cost and converts 20% of the physical damage to magic damage, which helps against physical immune monsters.

As of Patch 2.4, the "Fires Magic Arrows [Level 20]" attribute on
Witchwild String converts 43% of the physical damage of all generic Attacks into magic damage. This can be useful in those exceedingly rare cases where
Amplify Damage is insufficient to break a monster's immunity to physical damage.

This is a nice bow for leveling, even if kept on a weapon swap with something else as your main. Being that it can be useful in killing physical immunes or targets with high defense helps a lot, plus it grows as you level! This is important because it can be upgraded to elite, and eventually it will do much more damage with a high deadly strike percentage. As an end game bow I believe there are better options, however as others have said the sockets and resists can be nice! It has a lot going for it and is absolutely worth using for leveling, as weapon swap for certain targets or as an example if there are enemies that cast lightning that do a lot of damage. If it's the best bow you have, you're still well armed if you upgrade it and use good jewels/runes and gear that works well with it. I only wish I knew if the
Magic Arrow applied to act 1 merc basic attacks.
