My research says bow dmg is ungamebreaking. May not be right butt isn't horribly broken.

Either roll a max dex TRL

Or a max AGI elf.

This is fine )

My half elf has good natty AGI and dex ) p cool.

Hopefully it will get tweaked to be more classic one day with solid evidence backing it up. It's no worse than channeling code. Ac. Or parry/riposte accuracy curve.

I agree Magnetaress.

Kinda funny of all the stuff that isn't classic the bow damage calc is like, too much to handle?

I guess it seems super fixable even just removing weighted axe from the game. Its more classic to remove weighted axe then it is to have high power bows for trol / ogr / barb

Even though right now I want to roll a barb warrior so I can be the only non evil guy using a sniper rifle bow since hes the only good guy who can carry a weighted axe.

So tempting.

------------------------------------

I agree about hitting over 100 for the first time in like forever. Feels good even though I'm not contributing, except to keep it in peoples mind when I bother the people in the blue and green forums about it.

Get mroons toy u will be close [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] oh that is only for iksar/bar/trl/ogre oh and DWARF (paladins :P) oh wells

if it calcs only delay, wouldnt

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

be a lot closer to something like gatorsmash maul???

I probably shouldnt have posted that now there will be competition

mebbe there is a reason mroons toy and runed oak is in the same zone ? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ? ?

EQ devs where sneaksy! (and i am pretty sure a few loved pvp)

idk how hard it would be to add into the archery subroutine a cap on delay i think what happens is it pulls delay from the MH subroutine tho so that is a bit of a mess to fix without adding another loop

anyway numbers alone aren't enough to make me upset i'm not a numbers type person for me

oggok cleaver p gud too

i've deraile into silly dumb dumb territory

also rangers hsave nukes dispells, built in channeling proccy bows trueshot disc etc so i dunno what they really hve to complain hard about

if anything this hurts bards the most because an army of melees can bow them down without ever coming in range of their songs

G-d blessed my RNG so i hit hard even with the smollest weapons )))

As you can see the weighted axe is more than twice the delay of the alternative slow motion heavy weapons.

In the sense that it is a big time bard nerf, I like it.

And yeah who knows 22 years ago maybe the same exact mechanic was in play and it just wasn't recognized, though I don't think that was the case.

But thats what I mean it is easy to fix. If its hard to fix in the system, then just remove the weighted axe from red server. Or nerf it's delay down. It isn't the best fix but it gets the job done.

its as fixable/nerfable as root nets yet and weighted axe isn't a neccessary item by any means for the game to function eitehr so i agree with that one the most easiest

just make it a vendor trash item remove its equipable status

So Archery does more damage if the delay on your weapon is higher?

Archery benefits from the damage bonus of your primary hand.

Damage bonus for two handed weapons is dependant on the weapon's delay.

If you have a very slow 2 handed weaponin your primary, then damage bonus is higher (so your your minimum hit, max hit and everything in between) for archery will also be increased.

In theory this shouldn't be applicable until like 27ish when damage bonus starts to be added.
