Its unbalanced
@hotmunks
That takes pot chugging out of the game, causing a drop in price.
If this bow was balanced id drop a 10kk check on it.
UOsteam has built in mechanics to pot chug with unbalanced bows, it's literally almost as fast as a balanced bow. It's under combat/check hands before potions. Try it out yourself.
Also side note, you don't need balanced for explode/conflag potions either.
Only problem I can see is using fukiya or shurikens with it, as you would need to script a macro to drop bow, fukiya, then rearm, which could get annoying.
As most -mage weps you want dci because you will fit inscribe or alchemy onto a necro mage, and not use the combat stats of the bow, thus DI is a wasted mod.
Best weapon in the game for a -mage is a twinkling scimitar with 21DCI spell chan no negative casting and -20magery. This bow is damn near up there with 17dci. My buddy has a 12dci mage wep -21 bokuto and he paid a heck of a lot for it, upwards of 30kk if I remember correctly.
I believe this bow is damn near amazing, granted you have to tap your chug pot macro twice instead of once, I think it will fetch the PC of 5kk easy. I don't have any plans on playing a mage wep necro mage, otherwise I would jump on this guy in a heart beat, dropping 5kk like it's nothing. Strangle/MA/fireball on a scribe necro mage is terrifying! Nothing in the game can out dps it on the field.
