Goldstrike Arch

Description

Although its damage seems a bit lackluster at first glance,

Goldstrike Arch more than makes up for it with the increased damage to undead and demons, as there are few of the third category of monster types: Animals.

Once upgraded, it is one of the strongest bows in terms of raw damage output. The chance to cast FoH on hit is a nice bonus on top, as it is a strong single target spell.

This bow is quite fun to use, and the FoH proc has a nice effect against one monster type that phys dmg bowazons despise: Wraiths (with their physical immunity in Hell difficulty). Bows like the Goldstrike can be made to counter physical immune undead monsters by stacking several elemental and poison damage charms in the inventory, and then repeatedly attacking with

Magic Arrow (single target), or

Strafe or multishot (groups of enemies). This should be done with increased IAS to enable the wielder to hit as many rapid shots as possible to increase the chance to proc the FoH, which does help against this type of enemy.
