bows good?

[FluttershyFan121]

i saw that one of the crossbows with like an explosive bolt is really strong in this game. i was wondering if the bows were just as viable (probably less damage but still good). cause i'm gonna be doing an agility build at some point and a bow i feel would be a good ranged option

Assassin's bow or Sin-Piercer bow seem to have the best agility scaling, but be aware that the scaling factor only applies to physical damage. If you plan to use holy/fire damge I would not go for a high scaling bow, but for one with the highest default damage, for example Bow of the mutilated, which has 40 holy and 40 fire at +0.

When compared to crossbows, bows act more like a basic throwable, the more you charge the shot, the more damage you do, where crossbows deal a static ammount of damage and are faster to shoot.

alright. thanks for the tip. i was asking cause i do want something for an agility build for a ranged option. and i like the idea of running around with a bow instead of things like throwing knives or such
