Ranger Bow Crit Damage
At least around the time rangers received their attack bonus, which was presumably meant to help compensate for the removal of triple attack, Velious rangers were reporting higher damage from archery; AFAIK those numbers differ significantly from project1999's.

While I have never seen a ranger bow crit go over 1k, getting them in the 700-900+ range is something that does happen on p99. One of our rangers got a 968 and these 2 below are my personal bests:

Was it the Earthshaker? |

If the average for double damage is around 300 or 400, than that would also appear to be in line with classic numbers and would mean that "8k for a round of Trueshot isn't too unusual" for rangers as stated in one of the posts above. If that isn't the case, than it shouldn't be too difficult to dig up more logs and screenshots from that era to illustrate the difference. |
8k for a round of Trueshot is normal with a good bow/arrows, that's 66 dps. I don't have a ranger but I've done a bunch of Trueshot experiments before since ALS actually had a bunch of active rangers and I was looking at experiments for dealing with Sontalak/Gorenaire/Queen Bee/etc. DPS varies a lot based on target AC, but usually I would expect between 7k and 10k for a 2 minute Trueshot duration. https://wiki.project1999.com/File:Ranger_bazzt_zzzt.png for example is normal in my experience and was tracking for 10k damage over trueshot.
The reported Crits historically do seem higher than we would have on P99 though, I have also seen 900+ damage crits here but they were with Windstriker shooting at low level targets, not Exquisite Vellium. |
My crits above were each using primal bow with earthshaker, the other ranger was using AoW bow with BFG+swiftwind.

As it stands Ennewi is right. The ranger archery damage on P99 (without this bug) is extremely low compared to reported damage before the Luclin release. Precision Discipline on an Ogre Warrior with A Weighted Axe and Exquisite Velium Reinforced Bow or higher makes -> my ranger with True Shot + Earthshaker + Exquisite Velium Reinforced Bow frustrated. |
Good point. Zith, the ranger in the screenshots, is shown to be dual wielding. Pretty sure that's a Smolder in their primary, so they aren't taking advantage of two-hand delay which, from reading ezboard/etc, was known about and discussed back then. Best I can tell, the only bow they're using is the one off of flurry drakes.

I'm pretty sure that damage bonus isn't multiplied by the damage doubling from either unrooted stationary target or Trueshot disc, so the impact on the total crit value would be rather low. You can see the exact damage bonus in the disparity between hit value and crit value (56 damage using earthshaker). You seem to be ignoring that the higher crit came from a dual-wielding ranger using BFG + Swiftwind.
