Affixes on this roll
All affixes →This roll of Crusader Strongbow carries the following affix — the rolled modifiers that define its build value.
Who can wield this
All classes →BlackarrowRanged · Bow
A dedicated archer that controls space from afar with the bow, converting positioning and physical damage into safe, sustained DPS.
ASolid pick in our tier read: Reliable sustained ranged damage built on genuine third-person aim — strong in PvE clears and oppressive when it can keep its distance. It loses value once a mobile melee class closes the gap, and it asks for more mechanical precision than the other ranged picks.
