As a ranger, I beat everyone but rogues in DPS with mainhand BFG and Trueshot disc....It isnt just a novelty

I was a little underwhelmed by BFG meleeing to be honest. It still functions like a bow, so its damage formula is vastly inferior to a melee weapon. Stationary nonrooted bonus + TS means it's still nice, but not earth shattering.

EDIT: To add... I don't think I agree with the bow dmg calc listed on the wiki. It feels more like there's just no double modifier like there is on melee swings. BFG primary on stationary nonrooted + TS feels like its swinging about like a 40/50 weapon, which is comparable to a 12-13/20 weapon in MH.

I'll post a parse againt vindi and lendi when we get to my desk but here are average swings

Non-trueshot non-crit : 50-120ish
Non-trueshot crit: 100-240ish
Trueshit non-crit: 100-230
Trueshit crit: max I saw was 450ish

This is with max dex

All this being said....don't remove this item from poor rangers!

I thought the BFG if used for ranger melee gave the ranger the ability to crit on melee attack, is this not the case? Also, I heard the knockback effect was eleminated by the time the titanium client came out so it wont be doing that either. Any info on this is appreciated, thanks.

The knockback is a clicky and it works here. It doesn't move mobs far (a few feet at best), but not sure if it can move permarooted mobs here, haven't tried. On players (or self) it can knock you back really far depending on layout of the area you're pushing someone. From highest regular spot of ToFS in Iceclad the KB almost throws you into the water to south. In EC at top of tunnel you make it to the grass KBing yourself.

You do get the crits, but its not enough to push it into amazing territory. Also, you consume arrows meleeing with BFG, so you burn through them hard since you can double attack with BFG in primary.

Any updates on seaworthy planks spawning yet?

Farm em up and watch them get deleted. You dumb?

It can definitely be really nice, but I find my parses with it to be unreliable at best. Albeit I don't quite max my dex when buffed (~215-220).

Kinvalar, if you haven't picked up that 30/38 bow from DN yet, you should try it out!
