Delete / Nerf Weighted axe so ppl are happy and come back?

[magnetaress]

big question here just want to do a quick poll

naked lvl 1 elf wizards need to feel safe from lvl 60 TRL wizards with a bow imo makes the game more interesting too and changes up the meta (which is good from time to time)

plz dont argue about it just vote )

[Hannibal]

Agree it needs nerfed. If you're a caster BowQuest pretty much leaves you with Gate when you're on open ground.

[Fammaden]

Announce new green and 1k people will happily come back too.

[magnetaress]

Actually pretty surprised at the 5 nae votes. Not shocked or disappointed. Just surprised.

It’s an ez fix to ruin the item but right now devs don’t like having two databases that’s why we have had red specific changes rolled back on accident some times.

But plz do it anyways guys

[magnetaress]

Late bump. I'm also cool with axe becoming all/all

None/none would be best tho.

Or just make it back slot equipable only.

Effect : Ballista

[Gustoo]

Effect : Ballista. Lol yes

It would be cool if it just became normal axe weilder usable.

So all Ranger, Warrior, Paladin, SK races. But it makes more sense to make it unusable.

This is classic EQ, everyone used a weighted axe/earthshaker in pvp. Sorry boys.

[Gustoo]

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

Tantors tusk for the rangers is fine for joustin

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)

[Trexller]

don't nerf existing items, just fix the damn game

disappointed in you mag, blaming something else instead of the real problem?

you aren't dumb enough for that!

[Darkone]

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

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.
