Odd bow question

Pardon my ignorance if this is the wrong forum for this but I was in the UW last night doing a quick trapping run when a smite dropped a rare Eternal Bow, typically I expected it to be garbage but this one has me a bit confused.





Just curious if anyone has seen something like this drop before? I'm thinking of either modding it or getting an idea for what it's worth and selling it. Any ideas?

I got a blue one with +10%, which I salvaged.

The +Damage% mods that work all the time always come with bad effects. Like the Health Degen there.

yeah, guess that is an inherent deal with the constant damage %.. 2% shy of a perfect.

I have a 10/10 sundering string and a +30 grip i've been meaning to use, but the -1 degen has me pondering what type of build that could actually hold itself in.

Yes, the weapon would have two "Health regeneration -1"s.

Jarek, you'll want to ask on the Price Check forum about how much it's worth. I honestly wouldn't see any problems with the health degen because it's not really that big of a problem, although I'd prefer other negatives to it.

I believe that's the case, because the bow has a constant -1 health regen.. I thought about throwing on a 5:1 vamp string, but -2 to health degen really doesn't seem all that wise for a ranger..

plus that vamp string wouldnt have that much effect with an eternal bow because of the slow rate of fire (it being a long bow) so you would still end up losing health even with a max vampiric string.
