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
