Bow Runewords bases question

6 replies 665 views

Description

I have 3 bow runewords to knock off the chronicle. Faith, Ice, and Brand. I have a few 4os bases available, which do I use for each?

+2 15% ed Matriarchal
+3 12% ed Matriarchal
2x +3 Non superior Grand matron
+3 Non superior Matriarchal

Can be used to make Runewords:

I'd prefer +1 skill over 15 Ed in each of them, so I'd drop the +2 sup one.
For Ice and Brand, I'd go with matriarchal because of speed. Ice gets the damage from Ice skill, and Brand wants to proc amp. Ice doesn't really need ed.
Faith works well in both mat and GMB due to fana, even though it's harder to hit 7 fps with GMB.

So, I'd go with
Brand in 12 ed Mat,
Ice in non-sup Mat, and
Faith in GMB

The sup mat is nice for Faith, too, but that would leave you with only GMB for the Brand.

I'd Ice the +3 12ED Mat, if you're luck with 30CD first roll, it'll worth few

GMB for Faith for sure, once again if luck is with you, it might worth 6

For Brand I already prepared nice 15 ED

Great Bow.
I have no idea if I will use it on a Bowazon, but I want to have chance to try it on necromancer and Druid

Thanks for the Insight. So basically anything without +3 is useless. +3 > ED.

I think the 15ed +2 is still worth trading, but imho in all cases an extra skill point is better than 15ed.

And the 3 ed will "wash out" in the eventual runeword anyway. It's unlikely that it will roll its complete max value. You will end up with some value between eg. 140 and 210 and add +12 or +15 to it. Your chance of getting anything 210+ changes very little.
