Weapons help, please! - roseoaks - 11-30-2005
I JUST started playing Diablo II, and there is much I don't understand about the weapons. I have an Amazon with bow skills. Currently I have 4 bows, but only want to keep 2 of them. Here are their stats:
1: 7-13 2handed damage, fast speed, 1 to Attack Rating, 1 to Skills, 2 empty sockets (I have a lot of gems I could fill these with).
2: 4-8 2handed damage, very fast speed, 300 to Attack Rating
3: 17-26 2handed damage, very slow speed, monsters flee 12%, 3 to Minimum Damage.
4: 9-16 2handed damage, 4% live stolen per hit, 300 to Attack Rating.
One of the big things I don't understand, is what my attack rating does. Is it better to have a weaker weapon with a bigger attack rathing?
If anyone could help me sort out which ones to keep and WHY, that would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if I am being annoying, I just want to learn to play well. anxious:

lol dude if he just started i doubt he'll be able to afford/use a windforce anytime soon. even if they are cheap as shit. going by what you have now i'd say go with the high dmg bow and socket a shael rune in it for faster attack speed. what realm are you on i might have a few spare items for ya if your on west non-ladder. also check out the amazon guides in the character development section they'll be able to help you out tremendously. Have fun!

Sorry for not thanking everyone sooner. So, THANK YOU.
I am actually playing offline, I'm not real good at games, so I'd hate to make a fool of myself online, lol.
Thanks again for the info. I'm doing much better with the game now.
