Hellrack

Key details

• The main problems with this weapon are two-fold.
• With an extremely high strength requirement of 163, this is a dealbreaker for most classes and builds to consider this weapon.
• Secondly, the weapon is glacially slow with it's attack speed, even with the 20% IAS that comes with the weapon.
• Once these issues are overcome, the weapon is actually quite hard-hitting and does great in Hell difficulty, albeit lagging behind favored favorites including Windforce, Eaglehorn, and even upgraded Goldstrike Arch or Lycander's Aim.
• The weapon comes with two open sockets, and a favored solution to the slow IAS of the weapon is to socket x2 Shael runes, or IAS jewels to help mitigate the slow attack speed.
• In terms of hitpower, the Hellrack truly shines with it's enormous elemental damage, ensuring that whatever it hits will not be immune to one of the three elements it has in it's stats, as most Hell monsters are only immune to two elements at most.
• Even with these issues, the Hellrack is arguably the better of the two elite xbows relative to Gut Siphon, and still retains a use for certain builds out to endgame.
