See this is where it bothers me most.
This is true on P99. But on live this wasn't true.
Rangers in 2001 were hitting much much high damage.
P1999 has archery wrong. Don't get me wrong. Archery was still not worth it to use before Luclin but it wasn't as pitful as blue server paints it for rangers.
I mean look at the post here.

[Thu Apr 05 00:36:53 2001] Darby hits YOU for 532 points of damage.
Later he beat his high hit and got 600+
And he wasn't even level 60!!!!
(he was using Tolan's bracer summoned arrows)
Worse someone said later they saw him hit for 900+
And then there were others saying they had done 1000+ damage
All during 2001!!!!
I just don't get it were they all lying??!!?!??
You just can't do that kind of high hitting damage on P99 as a ranger.
And so it has been said that Archery damage using the bonus damage from the delay on the main hand weapon will be removed in a future patch but ultimately got to wonder does P99 have the damage possibility correct when it comes to Archery on a whole?
I decided to try a ranger with a Earthshaker, Tolan Arrows, 255 str and Exquisite Velium Reinforced Bow... yeah they hit for a max of 153 (with out using disc, no double damage an no crit)
That is it.
