Venator bow
- (0:00) In his Inferno speedruns the Venator bow takes the place of an Infernal cape switch; Gnomonkey does not use a spec bar so he cannot currently use claws.
- (0:00) Gnomonkey calculates the Venator bow maxes 96 with the full 2 ricochets, and still maxes 69 with only 1 ricochet, which is higher than two Toxic blowpipe shots with higher accuracy.
- (0:00) Gnomonkey says the Venator bow saves a lot of time in the Inferno but is hard to use, and says it truly saved the day in this run.
- (11:44) Gnomonkey notes you kind of just have to guess with the Venator bow, since you cannot tell where the ricochet hit from the XP drop.
