Then fit the best runeword in that you can efford.

Till that just reroll rare bows with good basic damage with essence of rage. Those are pretty powerful too

Essences orbs and even the bags drop in normal and nichtmare too.
Indeed! Essences and rares in general make progression much smoother now.
