how should i use this repeating crossbow

[irunfromreds]

i run a necro/meg that uses a -24 mage wepon mace, i have the crystaline ring and alchemy tally to cover the penelty and still have 120 magery, last night i came across a repeating crossbow thats a -25 mage wep and spell channeleing it also has 25% SSI and 39% DI, now what i was thinking of is trying to incorporating this into my pvp gear cause i think it would be awesome vs mages,the only prob is the hit chance and dex,any ideas about this or am i outta luck?

I'd stick with the 1 handed weapon.

You can't chug with the bow, and your DCI will undoubtedly be sub-par.

I would also be willing to bet that the bow will mess up your Evil Omen/Poisons as well as break paras early.

I tought you could chug with a Balanced bow? Is this not the case?
