What are the best Mods for PvM?

 

[Lord GOD(GOD)]

DI, SSI, HCI, HML, Slayer, HSL, HLL, HLD, Hit Area, Hit Spell, 1 FC.

I'd rank the ones in bold as most important for the template. Hit Area only for spawning weapons. Hit Spell only for Blackthorn Captains.

Although I get that you've got Med on there for the passive regen effects, it's kind of a waste, as you will most likely have HML on every PvM weapon which is always going to be better, even swapping to a no SSI slow Heavy X Bow for a high HML is quicker than regen. If it was PvP then I'd say yes keep the Med. I'd say swap it for Bushido primarily as Perfection/LS/Momentum Strike/Confidence are all very good. Or 60 Necro/60 SS. Or a melee skill for Whirlwind. Or even Focus and make the suit non Med 55 LMC, which will benefit Spellweaving's bigger costs.

I use magical shortbows mainly for spawns. Most of my arsenal of shortbows goes something like this. 40 DI,superslayer, Hit Area, Hit mana,Hit stamnia/ HLD (depends on what i need)

I wouldn't think that ssi is worth a mod on the bow, unless you get it from enhancing after the fact. With 178 stam you need 20 SSI to get to 1.25s. Given that 15 of that should be coming from Divine Fury from the 120 chiv, I'd say that imbuing 5 SSI on the bow is a waste of a mod.

Magical bow looks useless in PvM. PvP modes are very differ from PvM modes.

I find them pretty good for the first levels at champ spawns.

To save arrows? I believe Chivalry or SW would be more effective.
