NM and Hell bows?

I'm going to make a PvM multi shot bowzon soon but I don't have a faith yet, so I was wondering what bows/runewords I should look for to use in nm and hell so I can keep an eye out for them now, thanks. (I did a search and looked through guides but didn't find much info, unless I missed something)

Oh, also is Harmony viable in hell? (I'm guessing since I've never seen a harmony bowzon that it's no but I thought I'd ask anyway)

Good temp bow is wws, harmony is hell viable if dont intend to run chaos in games with more than one player(my harmony strafer deal 3k and is my prefered to run pit level)

Ya it would just be me running solo, I have a +2 skill 4os gmb I could make it in. If there is anything else cheap and/or better let me know thanks. :prop:

Riphook is one of the best NM bows and easily found. In fact, all exceptional uniques are nice, some of them can last until mid-Hell (Cliffkiller, GSA). For late Hell, just grab the first elite rare with decent %ED and some IAS on it.

gmb is a bit slow for harmony but if you have no fine charms, travs etc you might as well use it.

good ol' buriza..
slow, but quite a hard hitter once you get to level 41.. =)

and i have to agree all the exceptional bows are good =)

What would be a better bow to use in hell with harmony?

Or is there a better cheap runeword or unique I could use in hell? (besides windforce, I have yet to find one this season)

I was looking for a wws, I did find a riphook lastnight so I'll guess I'll go with it.

Agree with CDM. Harmony MB is nice if low on budget. It would be pretty slow on GMB as no intrinsic IAS for the RW. Otherwise, I'll have my vote on WWS. You can get one easily for few pgems (east ladder). It is good for NM and ok for hell. You'll want to up it later for better damage.

Re: America

ideally a mat bow is the best harmony bow imo. there is not much that is better pound for pound than harmony. have you checked out this guide?
Yes I did, but it didn't say what bow to use for the runeword. Though looking at it again I see I missed the part where it says to use a -10 speed bow if possible. Sadly I haven't found any good 4os mb's yet this season, I guess if I can't find one then I'll get a wws and up it and try it out. Thanks for the help everyone. :smiley:

It is ok to use non-zon bow for Harmony. Blade bow/great bow are easy to find in Hell mode and they will be 100% get 4OS when you use the socket quest. The +skill is not that important for strafe/multi. Plus, you can give the bow to act1 rogue if you don't want to use it anymore (for free vigor aura :p)
