So what I am getting ready to do is test the damage difference between BFG in primary slot, and BFG in range slot. I am willing to bed there is going to be a noticable difference in the damage range between the two.

Does anyone have any parses for Windstriker they can share? Including highest crit?

Because these guys are talking about doing 902 dmg with Windstriker, double damage non-rooted, with Trueshot /disc (well, against a player), and the guy isn't even level 60 or maxed archery yet, in era. Interested to know if that compares to archery damage here:

Grab like a 2/40 Orc Pawn Pick and a 25/40 Wurmslayer, and test each in your primary. ATK should be about the same (Wurmslayer has +5 STR so it'll be slightly higher), and see if you notice a difference in the damage distribution. If not, that rules out primary hand weapon damage at least, right?

Not sure what that would accomplish. My theory is that the bug causijg primary hand damage bonus, is also causing the algorithm that checks weapon skill to miss archery skill, thus throttling the damage from the range slot.

The reason i want to test BFG in primy, versus secondary, is its the 1 weapon that can be used in both.

Because if there is a big difference, both are 1HS weapons so your weapon skill would be the same and you can rule out weapon skill as the determining factor.

It's just a process of narrowing down the source of the archery damage one thing at a time.

I am trying to get the mob we all used on Live to parse archery damage because he was perma-rooted with high regen to also be perma-rooted here. Currently he is not. https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=414909

I dont think you are following.

When you put a bow in your range slot, with no weapons equiped your attack is really low.

What I suspect is that there is some sort of bug where archery skill itself isnt factored whent he range slot is utilized.

So what I am going to do tomorrow on the Paineel guards (high HP low level mobs) is do a parse test with BFG in primary, and then in Ranged.

If my theory is true, the bfg will perform better when used from primary, than from ranged.

I would highly suggest reading through this thread to its entirety.

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=374659

And no it isn't all about PvP archery it applies to blue too. But not much because the low damage still isn't worth it.

In essence, it is the delay on the main hand weapon.

and Weighted Ax on Troll or Ogre or Barbarian - warrior will give you the exaggerated damage change you are experiencing.

The best you can try for is the Earthshaker as a ranger.

Luclin release date was December 4, 2001
And the indication from the posts is archery damage output on live, even before Luclin - was still not worth it...... BUT was a lot more than currently on P99.

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...2&p=2#comments

P99 devs are aware of the issue and will probably fix it all servers for the red community. But you can bet the numbers seen in those posts on Allakazam won't be seen on P99... and I can't blame the Devs for not dwelling this.

Why work on something that was never really applicable until Luclin.

We are aware of the primary hand damage bonus, thats been posted in other forums and not the topic of this discussion.
