Miscellaneous: Nerf Bowquest 99

[Botten]

Per Awsten_Tx's information kinda clues into what may have happened.
Perhaps main hand delay became the blanket damage bonus by mistake.

- Main hand bonus damage based on delay of weapon was added a while back.
- A similar bonus damage based on delay was applied to bows.
- Along with the TrueShot buff and the delay damage bonus on bows then players see the damage described by rangers here:

Acutally highest critical using trueshot on the glade is said to be 1100ish on a velk the sorcery. The bow was a efetti bow. Since delay is one of the factors in damage on trueshot. IE higher delay larger hits.

You are correct, high delay does aid with higher hits.
The hardest I have seen Darby hit with this is now 902.
He needs to work on his archery! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Range attack spam seems unaffected by delay? It’s like a machine gun of 130+ dmg hits with fleeting quiver and range that is well beyond of a casters ability to land spells. 30 seconds for a fully geared velious wizard to go from 3400 plus hp including barrier to death.
