Now if I use CotH, usually for bosses my listed DPS goes up to above 15k and of course I have a much greater range (off screen) and can fire through solid objects and wall whenever volley procs.
Yes, my Bow Haruspex the the most powerful of my characters, especially since I have all this AND 100% CAPS.
That's impressive, but what level is that character? Would you play through the game at normal difficulty with it?

Yesterday I actually finally found a great spear. I've been using this appropriately named sword I found, "griefmaker," for so long, and it was pissing me off because it was so much better than the spears I was finding, and I really wanted to use that skill "Take Down" more. I just love that thing. I know it's not exactly the most powerful skill, but man is it funny. My girlfriend calls it "Loot Lunge" because I like to target weak enemies near chests to get to the loot faster (it's just for fun, we share everything in the end, duh). But, yesterday I finally found an awesome spear. It's called Phorkos, which is the most hilariously named item I've even seen in the game--inspired about an hour of dumb puns--but I did my highest damage in one hit with it ever; it was a confluence of insanity: I grabbed a shrine of mastery, with blade honing, art of the hunt, call of the hunt, storm nimbus, and casting study prey on an ape man in the third act on epic, I hit him with a lethal strike for 32,000+ damage. I'm sure that's not very impressive to your old-schoolers with your 9485739485734958789 ultra-rare uber-items, but it sure made my jaw drop.
