Nandi's hammer is so much better. At least it is a clear upgrade to the SR disaster hammer (and it looks cute!) I still have 3 SR weapons in my light grid and if I did my math right, this SSR bow will actually reduce my damage if I replace one of the SR hammers with it, despite higher stats (I don't have SSR Artemis.) It is a slight upgrade to SR disaster defender weapons (you lose 3% defender value for elaborate and some stats boost), so if you are still using those...
Btw, the only difference between elaborate(++) and no (+) is the dmg cap, which is likely an irrelevant stat if you are still upgrading from SR weapons like me. Elaborate dmg boost is the same for no (+) all the way to (++). In another words, the Elaborate(++) on this bow does not offset the no (+) on the defender at all imo, so this bow is probably worse than you thought.
Devs gave crappy weapons to dark during the last Python advent, so, to balance it out, give crappy weapons to light, too?
