Bow Damage Limitation
====Bow Damage Limitation====
 
To limit the rogue's lethal speed with the bow, Blizzard made it so bows only add their damage to the base total derived from strength, dexterity, and character level. As a result, rather than the bow damage being modified by the rogue's attributes, the bow damage simply adds on.
For this reason, many high level rogues prefer to find a bow that adds resistance with the prefix (Obsidian or Emerald, ideally), since there isn't that much difference in damage, and a substantial resistance bonus from the bow frees up other equipment slots to pursue other bonuses. (This generally results in more mana, since the only useful high level jewelry prefixes grant resistance or +mana, and if an obsidian or other resistance ring/amulet is taken off, the best alternative is usually drakes or dragons of _______.)
