Luclin being worse than Velious should make this gap widen and not shrink as there is little to improve bow damage outside of EQ/AM3.īows get 100% double damage, but it is only a single attack. This adds up drastically on longer duration fights. This becomes a material amount of damage as it is not mitigated by motm. I've noted inconsistency between the two indicating one appears to return mitigated values, the other unmitigated values.īows have no damage bonus.

Note, bow damage comes across as non-melee damage in one filter and basic damage in another. If this is excluded, the parses of bow damage would be in the 70 DPS range, which seems more appropriate for a more "offensively" aligned hybrid. It is unclear if bows are receiving the damage increase from AA, which should be 40% IIRC. Much of this comes down to a few differences:ġ. As I'm at cap and basically overcap, I don't think it changes anything materially to dismiss a comparison. Using a fleeting quiver (have standard ones now) may improve War Bow but I don't know of any conclusive evidence that quivers get haste any higher than bard overcap allows for. I don't believe a fleeting quiver would materially impact Bow of the Destroyer due to its 17 delay. It's not really worth making and using blessed guardian arrows right now, it doesn't materially impact parses enough from Steel Guardian Arrows to skew a comparison against other DPS classes.īased on worn haste, 40%, visions of Grandeur, 58%, and Bard over haste, my UI is displaying 100% haste. ↑ “ What bow were you using and I am assuming you were using a good arrow for base and quiver? ”I've used both, War Bow of Rallos Zek and Bow of the DestroyerĪrrows have been Steel Guardian arrows, which are 11 + 3. ”What bow were you using and I am assuming you were using a good arrow for base and quiver? For god knows how long they were capped at 85% haste until they hit 60 (visions of grandeur). Lame as it is, with enchanter haste the Rangers capped haste every level along the way. Yes, I did three ranger epics in parallel /wrist Too bad we have to wait for PoP to get headshot.Īs for twinking I basically went STR AC and HP with weapons around the. Group content, they should be pretty solid however. If you double that with AM3 in Luclin, it's only 100 or do DPS and I'm seeing monks routinely parse in the 120-140 range now, before Luclin and AA. Trueshot parses on tormax and Vindi are in the 50-60 DPS range depending on the bow and RNG on crits. ↑ “ Side note, forget about bowing on raids.īeen toying around with my 6-armed ranger and with max archery, max dex, bard over haste, 1450 atk, using bow of the destroyer or war bow of RZ and 11+3 arrows.
