Info

The hexhunter bow is a tier 80 shortbow dropped by soulgazers. It is a surface version of the Dungeoneering hexhunter bow. Unlike the Dungeoneering variant, the surface bow is not a shieldbow and is a lower tier. The intended ammunition for the bow are stalker arrows; however, it can use any arrow.

​

It has two passive effects which can appear as a debuff on the target being affected by the buff:

• +12.5% damage boost against magic-classed enemies.

• +10% hit chance boost against magic-classed enemies.

 

This weapon is the ranged equivalent of the Terrasaur maul.

 

A debuff icon is shown on an affected monster's icon bar when a player wields the hexhunter bow against them.
