Who uses Melody

Melody is a missile weapon runeword tailored for Amazon bow users. It grants bonuses to bow and crossbow skills, critical strike, dodge, and slow missiles, enhancing both offense and defense. The increased attack speed and damage to undead make it useful for clearing undead-heavy areas. It requires level 39 and three sockets. Not ladder-only, so available in single player. Practical note: best placed in a fast bow or crossbow to maximize the attack speed bonus.
