Bow and Crossbow Skills in Diablo 2 are the Skills related to the ranged Weapons the Amazon can wield. These Skills focus on the damage type your arrows can inflict.
Important Note: With the release of Patch 2.4 these skills has suffered some changes:
General Modifications:
- Fire bow skills are receiving damage scaling improvements at higher levels so that they consistently fulfill their fire elemental damage type roles for their level tier
- Mana costs were reduced for the elemental arrow skills to give them more general usage
- Strafe will no longer have weapon damage reduction and will also provide Attack Rating so that it can have distinctive advantages over the other physical bow skills.
