Kridershot

Kridershot database.

The Kridershot is one of the most desired legendary weapons for Demon Hunters. It is a bow with stats comparable to other bows, but a very valuable legendary affix that turns the Elemental Arrow skill into a Hatred Generator.

This legendary affix allows Demon Hunters to generate hatred with a skill that's otherwise a powerful Hatred Spender, and that allows wholesale changes to the build and equipment of the Demon Hunter lucky enough to find this weapon.[1]

Item Stats

Like all sub-level 70 legendary items in Reaper of Souls, the database stats are meaningless since the item in-game will scale up to the level of the character that finds it. See the level 70 screenshots below for a sense of how this item works in reality.

The key stats of this bow is that it always rolls with a socket, almost always rolls with +Dex for a Demon Hunter, and has the amazing legendary affix. Since the socket and dexterity are inherent, players can often spend their enchant on the damage, rolling and reroling until they up the DPS to a very large number.

Diablo 3 Classic

This item was present in Diablo 3 vanilla, but it did not have the great legendary affix. It was also of no use in the end game since it was low level and items did not scale up prior to D3v2.
