no one has confidence in the p99 staff anymore

this thread discusses a perfect example: they don't care about the red server, so they leave broken/dumb shit in for YEARS (as they have been doing for 11 years now)

I dont know how messy the code is but is there no way to break out the archery code so it is not affected by whatever you are weilding in your hands?

As i understand it there is some damage bonus that is applied due to the high delay for the weighted axe that makes the bow hit on average too high so it makes low damage/dly bows op in open zone pvp?

Everyone knows what's wrong ::In_Theory_01:: (from an eq perspective we don't have a clue what is going on in the client or backend) I'm pointing out there's an easy fix until a better one can go in place. So as to compromise from an either all or nothing position.

I agree the 100% right thing to do would be to fix it at the code level.

Who knows though this could be a literal titanium client bug or something I don't know how any of this really works.

I know what won't work... being jerks and demanding it is fixed a certain way within a certain time frame.

Does the level 50 Archery bonus for Rangers apply when in PVP combat?

I could imagine that would be hilarious to catch someone medding somewhere and you blast them with arrows

We’re talking about it’s effect on archery. Not jousting.

Tantors tusk for the rangers is fine for joustin
This works the same way on blue/green, your bows damage bonus uses your main hand damage bonus. This is as classic as EQ unless you can show some proof?

So is it best to equip say a Wurmslayer when using your bow?

No.

Only 2 handers get improved damage bonus for large delays.

I don't think there is evidence that high delay main hand weapons impacted the damage bonus the is applied to archery on LIVE, as it was clearly not the intent of the damage bonus.

But I could be stupid.

Even without bowquest rangers can be deadly with archery.

I'm pretty sure delay should not confir dmg bonuses for archery mh or otherwise.
