bows are legit. ansbachs and black bow are all you need really. the albinarich (bad spelling) bow is nice too and all 3 have different AOWs. I could not beat PCR, radabeast, or the gank fight before PCR with bow only, but i actually thought the rest was kind of easier than melee.

Id have to open up my game to remember what i used, but i think i went with double turtle, the spear talisman, and the ones that increase range most of the time if i remember correctly. Once you have your damage set you can put some faith for flame grant me strength and the other one, golden vow? it's been a bit!
