Neither rogue hirelings nor other classes may use Amazon bows. The expansion also has a category of Amazon bows, which count as bows as well as Amazon Weapons. Like crossbows, bows are compatible with Amazon Bow and Crossbow Skills, magic and rare bows can have Amazon skill prefixes and Dexterity suffixes, and bow damage scales with the wielder's Dexterity, with each point of Dexterity equivalent to 1% enhanced damage. Rogue Archer hirelings can equip bows in the expansion. Amazons specializing in ranged combat typically choose bows over crossbows, due to comparatively fast attack speed and low Strength requirements. Discipline-independent builds exist, however. In general, Hatred is used for offensive skills, while Discipline generally powers defensive abilities. It is the only class that has two separate resources. Bows use arrows to fire (one per shot), while crossbows use bolts. Hatred and Discipline are the two resources used by the Demon Hunter in Diablo III.

They are an alternate (faster, but less potent) choice to crossbows. Hellfire Unique Bows - Blitzen ( Composite Bow) īows are two-handed Missile Weapons in Diablo II. Diablo I Unique Bows - The Needler ( Short Bow 'Crossbow')
