Are you dyslexic? slightly = significantly?

Rain Caller has +6str and +6dex and 75 more range, but the Runed Oak has 1 more dmg and 2 less delay. Rain Caller is better, but the difference is pretty minor considering the effort into getting these two bows. Rain Caller requires very high fletching and a fairly big quest chain. Runed Oak Bow requires 250p and a post in EC forum.

Neither of the bows have a viable ratio when it comes to out-damaging melee (not even close), and neither bows will do enough damage to root-rot something without driving you insane. The damage is just pathetic on both bows.

Rain Caller does have an absurdly high range, which is nice for pulling. Very noticably further than Runed Oak Bow. I'd say that puts it a class above Runed Oak Bow. But does that make it worth 3k-4k? Probably not... it's an overpriced item in my opinion.

Frankly I'd rather have an idol of the thorned in my range slot than a runed oak bow, and just pull with spells. Rain Caller is a decent compromise-- stats with archery.

I played my ranger when Luclin was already well out, and beastlords had SoW at 30, while Ranger still had at 39, and my lev 30 ranger was complaining daily. I remember that all too well.

February 1, 2001 - Patch Day -

Rangers:
--- Added Endure Cold at 22
--- Added Skin Like Nature at 59
--- Added FireFist at 22
--- Moved Bramblecoat from 49 to 39
--- Added Spikecoat at 49
--- Added resist cold at 55
--- Added Panic Animal at 22
--- Moved Jolt to 51
--- Moved Spirt of Wolf from 39 to 30
--- Added Cinder Jolt (fire-based Jolt spell) at 55.
--- Offense and weapons skill made identical to warriors
--- Added See Invisible at 39

Pretty sure beastlords were the ones that had to deal with 39 sow for longer than rangers.

I guess I got it the other way around. my bad ;)
