Bows are the best ranged attacking weapon in the game. They fire very quickly in the hands of an Amazon, and derive their bonus damage from your points in Dexterity. Amazons have a [[Amazon_Bow_and_Crossbow_Skills|bow & crossbow]] tree, but other characters can be effective with them as well, especially Druids and Necromancers, who can take cover behind their minions and shoot from a distance. Necros and Druids tend become less useful with bows as they advance in levels, since their Dexterity isn't high enough, and they don't have any skills to boost their bow attacks.
==Notes==
A few unique items have changed with the release of patches. All new unique items found will have the same stats as the ones in the table below, items found in 1.09 or earlier may have slightly different stats. Items that have had changes will marked with a * and the change will be listed under the table.
* Unique All bows are found in Diablo II and the Expansiontwo-handed.
* In 1.10 of the Expansion the odds of gambling a unique is 1 in 2000.
* All bows are two-handed.* Weapon Speed (WSM): A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type. 0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower.* Dmg Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. Each point in this statistic multiplies your damage by bonus/100 %. All bows are 100 Dex.* Firing Rate: The speed shown in-game for each character using this weapon. This speed is mostly meaningless (see here for more info) and is included for completeness only. Characters are abbreviated to their first letters, with Amazon = Am and Assassin = As.* [[Item Level]]: Chests and monsters Monsters must be at least of this level to drop the a particular item. Ilvl is used in gambling, sales and other calculations as well.* [[Clvl ]] Req: The level you A character or mercenary must be this level to equip the item. No D2 Uniques uniques had Clvl requirements prior to v1.07 D2Diablo II.{{weapon notes|bows}}
