Raven Claw is an exceptionally powerful low level bow because of the splash damage provided by firing Explosive
Arrows. It will become invalidated by more powerful options later in the game, but it will do a number on most enemies in Normal difficulty.
It is a preferred early game weapon for ranged
Enchant sorceresses and
Holy Fire paladins, as the fire damage is also added to the explosion's area of effect. Later it replaced by
Demon Machine,
Kuko Shakaku or
Brand.
It can be used as an early game levelling weapon, if a high level
Enchant sorceress is available. It is especially popular on Hardcore - high fire damage, combines with ranged
and AoE attacks let any character safely get through Normal.
However, it is the weakest of all options because it lacks IAS, Piercing and has low increased damage.
