Who uses Zephyr

Zephyr is a cheap runeword for missile weapons, ideal for early game bow users. It provides enhanced damage, attack rating, and lightning damage, along with reduced target defense to improve hit chance. The increased attack speed and faster run/walk help with kiting and mobility. With a level requirement of 21 and two sockets, it becomes available early and serves as a solid weapon for leveling Bowazons. The runes are common, making it a practical choice for normal difficulty. It is not ladder-restricted, so it can be used in any game mode.
