-The '''storm bow'''<ref>{{source ref|0.30.1|art-data.txt|779}}</ref>, as a +8 longbow of electrocution, is already a great item for [[Ranged Weapons]] users (even if it takes a hefty skill investment). The added penetration allows it to shine in corridors, where only 1 enemy may hit you, but you get to hit multiple enemies for full damage. It also lets you snipe backline enemies without using [[Portal Projectile]]. While a longbow or [[triple crossbow]] of a different brand may be stronger against rElec enemies, the penetration can make this bow worth using as a swapout.

A +8 longbow can inflict massive damage in the right hands, and the electrocution brand just adds on top of that, especially when you reach minimum delay (requires a whopping 20 Bows skill, but it's well worth the investment).

A +8 longbow can inflict massive damage in the right hands, and the electrocution brand just adds on top of that, especially when you reach minimum delay (at a whopping 20 Bows skill, but well worth it). It truly shines when you can make use of its penetration effect, allowing you to blast through entire corridors of enemies at once, or target dangerous enemies in the back ranks without having to resort to chewing through the front lines or using [[Portal Projectile]]. A longbow with a different brand might be more damaging to enemies that resist electricity, but the storm bow is a worthy find for any prospective archer.
