Whenever you think of the World of Warcraft 60s Hunter's Bow, I'm afraid most players will think of the Epic Bow first. Admittedly, the value for money of the Epic Bow is really not to be said, and the shape is quite good-looking, but it is definitely the best bow of the 60s.
When it comes to the best bow for hunters in the 60s, there must be only one answer, and this is the Nexramas boss Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse dropped: Soul Strings.
It has an attack speed of 2.9, damage per second of 60.7, plus 6 stamina, 1% critical hit, and 16 attack strength. And the Soul String was also the ranged weapon with the highest second damage in the 60s, with the exception of wands. Players may also think of the crossbow dropped by Kel'thugad, but the fact is that the second damage of the Soul String is even higher.
The Spider Slave Maker has 57.2 second damage and 3.2 attack speed, plus 24 attack strength and 1% critical hit. I have to say that the attributes of the two are actually not too different, so players often struggle with which one is better.
The Soul Strings attack speed is faster, but the second damage is higher, and many players will also complain that the attack speed of 2.9 will be stuck in aiming and shooting. But in all fairness, even if you have an attack speed of 3.2, there is also the possibility of card aiming and shooting, but the number of times will be less, after all, fighting the boss is not hitting the stake, there are many factors to consider.
But the Spider Demon Slaver doesn't add stamina, which means anemia, which to be honest was still a bit hurtful in the Naxxramas era. It can be said that if you get the Soul String first, there is actually no need to take the Spider Demon Slave Maker, after all, even if there is a DPS increase, there are very few.
Some players will also say that the Soul Strings have been strengthened, and the early versions did not have such a high second damage. But it doesn't matter anymore, even if the level 60 permanent nostalgia suit is opened again, it will still be so second-to-second.
Of course, the shape of the soul string is also very handsome, after all, the bow is the first choice for transmogrification, if you can transmogrify the weapon in the official server, then it must be a very stylish existence!
Moreover, the difficulty of obtaining the Soul String is still lower than that of the Spider Demon Slave Maker, after all, there is a Sephalon in front of Kel'thugad, and 4DK does not need to play the whole game. Perhaps from the perspective of cost performance, the soul strings are better!
