Socketed bows can be very useful at early levels, especially with sapphires for cold damage and skulls for mana and life steal. They aren't the super low level weapon they were in D2C anymore, since Clvl requirements have been added to gems, but early on you can probably do a lot better with a bow that has 2 or 3 chipped or flawed gems in it than with any other bow you'll find at that point. | Socketed bows can be very useful at early levels, especially with sapphires for cold damage and skulls for mana and life steal.

'''Bow Damage''' = [(Bow Damage + ED from bow) +min/max damage from equipment] x (Dex | '''Bow Damage''' = [(Bow Damage + ED from bow) +min/max damage from equipment] x [(Dex + ED from equipment other than bow + ED from skills]/100 + 1) | ||
In simplest terms, your bow + equipment damage is multiplied by your dexterity. If you are doing 50-200 with your bow and other equipment, and you have 200 Dex, you'll deal about triple your bow damage to targets. Critical Strike will then double this total damage, if successful. | In simplest terms, your bow + equipment damage is multiplied by your dexterity.
