Sounds fun on paper and at max level with a good bow, what about leveling? Pre 51 a bow like raincaller with standard arrows is only doing like 11 ((20+arrow)/2) dmg before Dex/atk is added in right?

The hardest levels with a 20 damage bow was 42-46 (likey up to 49 before bow of the huntsman starts to proc).

If you are still using a raincaller past 40....that is a bad idea :P You can almost solo the bow of the huntsman quest by 40 :P

The reasons were

1 ) TONS of arrows being used up with a faster bow! I was hunting kind of far away from town and just couldn't go too heavy on the arrows. I had to stay in wakening lands during this time....to try and hunt wuoshi....tolans bracer at 46 woulda fixed this problem.

2 ) DEX vs STR - this was before I knew that dex and str were bugged for archery on this server [You must be logged in to view images.

Fear kiting tigeraptors was just so tempting.....though I did find myself using bows also (pulling back to my spot I would take them to 80-90% life before they got back to me).

Or if the king raptor, rapticor, would show up....using bows was pretty handy if I got too hurt.


If I were leveling up again and had actually focused on str (instead of sitting at 95 str most the time :P) ....it would have been even stronger than it already was. In firiona vie, I was making necromancers jealous of my soloing along the cliff :P
