Dark bow...

I think a dark bow would be a cool idea. We have dark swords, and dark staffs and wands, all of which with nightmare proc, I think it would be cool to have a dark bow with nightmare proc. I realize a lightning bow would seem kinda old, but very cool. I don't think there are any bows with a proc other than fire, and ice proc. I think they would look cool, and be pretty helpful.

That would be pretty sweet. Too over powered though in PVP, being able to hit with nightmare from a distance?

Wands can hit with nightmare from a distance. True, it would be sweet though!

Forgot about wands, so yeah, we need this!

Not to mention dark matter staffs, the nightmare wears you down, and the DPS on those things are amazing for Int.

EDIT: As of right now, archers are only available to fire and ice proc bows, too bad they are too low of levels to be useful to a level 45. I would use a dark bow in a second if I could.

Wands have range but low DPS, so nightmare is fine. I think a darkbow would be overpowered, but also cool, so whatever. I would use it ;)

But wands are an off hand weapon, so you should rather compare a dark bow to a dark matter staff or else it's comparing a 2H to a 1H.

Eh, I still say, since they're carried by characters with primary Int, it's okay, but like I said it's no big deal. I expect we'll probably see a dark bow some day...

Edit: and wands are on hand weapons lol, bracers are off hand :P

Hopefully, not to mention wands can be carried with an eye, so the carrier can have better armor and stats because of the wands boosts and armor. I would really like to see dark bows though.

A bow or xbox is going to be faster than a wand too, making the weapon proc extremely often. Very overpowered if you ask me.

wand : 1.2 speed
bow: 1.0 speed
xbow: .7 speed

Scarab bow has a speed of 1.0, Staffs now have an average speed of 1.3, and wands with a speed of roughly 1.1 So it wouldn't be much faster at all.

The wand was just dropped to 1.2 as of the update between my post and now, I guess they increased staff speeds as well.

Perhaps not such a speed difference, but consider all the people who specced intel, just to use a dark item for PVP combos. We all know intel is the least beneficial stat, but in these cases, it's made up with the opportunity to use a dark wand/staff to combo. I wouldn't expect to see any intel birds/bears if a dark bow was released. You would have more DPS, armor, dodge, and crit.

Hopefully that made sense without being too confusing.
