Which Jewel for Rare Mat Bow?
OK, so Baal just gave me a rare Matriarchal Bow and as I just yesterday started a Fire Witchyzon I thought I would put in a rare jewel and give it to her...so I looked in my Jewel mule and came up with two possibilities and here they all are:
Doom Branch
Matriarchal Bow
Level 48
Damage 74-175
+1 Bow and Crossbow Skills
( )
271% Enhanced Damage
+1 Maximum Damage
+228 Attack Rating
24-42 Fire Damage
1-3 Cold Damage
1 Socket
Beast Heart
Level 37
+30% Enhanced Damage
+9 Dexterity
+14 Mana
27% Poison Resist
Stone Whorl
Level 49
24% Enhanced Damage
10-21 Fire Damage
1-87 Lightning Damage
The thing is, as much as I would love a bow with 295-301% ed, I would rather put those jewels in a helm or armour but I don't want to waste the potential of this bow by just throwing in an IAS or some other single/dual mod jewel (of Thunder for example). These aren't the only rare ed jewels I have to choose from, just the ones I thought most suitable (and that didn't have 2-3 useless mods like +14 to stamina or 33% extra gold...). My zon will be wearing a Smoke Archon Plate (994def) and either a 70% Kira or a +2 Valk Wing (as fugly as it is), and looks like she'll need a Buriza on switch for FI's in Hell, so the only room for jewels is in the bow and helm.
So what are your thoughts? Should I add one of these jewels, some other jewel or just give it to a newb because it's only +1 Bow Skills (despite immediately spending a socket quest as soon as I found it lol)?
EDIT: Lol...did the forums screw up again did they? Once more my avatar looks like something from a modern art gallery...
