Re: Bow weapon for bowadin?
The very best is Demon machine combined with razortail and some enchant from obedience/demon limb.
Depends what you're aiming for. Personally, I'd disagree. Demon Machine will put you at 12fpa, or 11 with some ias gear. Paladins can only reach 11fpa with crossbows. On the other hand, they can reach 9fpa with bows. As such, something like Rogue's Bow (yes, a normal unique) is useful due to the huge 50ias on top of a base speed of -10. However, it doesn't have the best other mods, so it's not the best all round.
In regards to other posters saying stuff like windforce, I'd disagree with that too. By the way you seem to be playing, considering the auras, your best bet is to get a bow that applies the elemental damage fast. The physical damage isn't as important. That's why the frame rate is so crucial. Admittedly higher physical damage bows will let you leech a lot more, but that's the main use you'll find. Your holy shock aura will do much more damage than the bow itself, and the holy freeze probably will too once you have all your synergies going.
Really, you should check out that guide. It's got a well-thought out discussion on bows, and how to apply them to the frost and shock auras.
EDIT: On the other hand, Faith is just ridiculous. Put that in a base -10 bow, and you're only 24 ias away from 9 frames, if you roll the
lowest fanatacism possible, or 22 ias if you get the highest. Also, you'll have huge physical damage (so you have three types: cold, lightning, and physical) AND it has ignore target defence. So, if you have it, faith would almost certainly be the ultimate weapon for such a paladin. However, assuming you don't have access to such expensive items, I'd check out the guide for alternatives.
Note: I could have numbers wrong for the ias required with fanatacism from faith. The values provided were from a weapon speed calculator that may be out of date for all I know.
