Okay this is looking better.

Assuming a best in slot raid-geared ranger, can I get a list of what buffs they would have?

Worn Items
Silver Mask of Slayer (+10)
Belt of Dwarf Slaying (+10)
Spirit Wracked Cords (+10)
Swift Spirit (+30)

Spell buffs
Frostreaver's Blessing (+10)
Strength of Nature (+25)
Call of the Predator (+40)
Avatar (+100)
Visions of Grandeur (+20)
Dance of the Blade (+30)
McVaxius' Rousing Rondo (+39)

Here's an out of era trueshot log for comparison, he gives atk rating, buffs used, current stats/arrows. Confirmed Level 56 so shouldn't have archery AA. I believe 56+ could potentially have bonus crit damage AA, so maybe disregard the frequency (even tho only 3 crits).

The Following is proof that a ranger can do 15K dmg in about 2min using a good bow.
Stats needed for personal computations is as follows:
ATK = 1220
STR = 193
DEX = 165
Falcon Eye buff was cast
Disc Trueshot was used
Bow = Nightmare Bow 28 dmg 39 dly at lvl 56
Arrow = Tolan Bracer Summoned
Epic Ranger Haste from Swiftwind = 40 %

Forgot to put this in the calcs:

Also my skill is maxed for lvl at 224

Unsure what P99 archery caps at, so you may need to take that into consideration.

I'm feeling pretty good with the local code now. Still needs more testing, but here is a summary of changes being tested so far.

-Archery damage no longer receives a damage bonus from mainhand weapon delay
-Archery damage scales with Dexterity instead of Strength
-Rangers can critically hit with archery at level 12 [Aug1999]
-Rogues can critically hit with throwing weapons at level 12 [Aug1999]
-Archery and throwing weapon hits display "X was hit by non-melee for Y points of damage" followed by "You hit X for Y points of damage"

Trueshot
[!Jan2001]
-All bows act as 45 damage bows while Trueshot is active
[Jan2001]
-Uses actual bow damage
-Added delay-based damage bonus (slower bows receive larger damage bonuses)

Expected Impact
-Rangers with high Dexterity will deal more damage with bows
-[Jan2001] Trueshot Discipline used with slow, high-delay bows will be more powerful


From the posted logs, damage seems close. With a fully raid buffed BIS ranger, it is possible (not likely) to achieve ~1000-1200 damage crits with Trueshot. Any additional logs would still be helpful.

And I just noticed when Trueshot fades, it says 'The natural energy fades from your bow.', but according to the logs it should say 'You lose the concentration to remain in your fighting discipline.' I'll see about changing that.

Here's the rest of what I got:

Note at the end they mention they are level 59... so not sure if archery AA's have been used

Posted @ Tue, Jul 2nd 11:06 AM 2002 Score: Good[4.10]
I am about to hit level 55 and finally the defining skill of Rangers will be mine, The Trueshot Discipline! I have a Blessed Faydark Thunderbolt 30-38 and a ton of stats bow, and for the time being will be using summoned arrows. My question to you is...what type of damage can I expect from each arrow (that hits) with str buffed to 200 and dex around 190...any ideas? I have gotten crits of (246) with these same buffs on, so Im curious what any other Rangers have experienced using the TS disc. Please let me know soon cause I have 3 blue till ding and hopefully by the 4th I should be ready to unleash my newfound ability on some Uber mob *edited******July 8th******* Ok since no-one answered me and I have hit level 55 I thought I'd post last nights TS Disc..

I'm feeling pretty good with the local code now. Still needs more testing, but here is a summary of changes being tested so far.

-Archery damage no longer receives a damage bonus from mainhand weapon delay
-Archery damage scales with Dexterity instead of Strength
-Rangers can critically hit with archery at level 12 [Aug1999]
-Rogues can critically hit with throwing weapons at level 12 [Aug1999]
-Archery and throwing weapon hits display "X was hit by non-melee for Y points of damage" followed by "You hit X for Y points of damage"

Trueshot
[!Jan2001]
-All bows act as 45 damage bows while Trueshot is active
[Jan2001]
-Uses actual bow damage
-Added delay-based damage bonus (slower bows receive larger damage bonuses)

Expected Impact
-Rangers with high Dexterity will deal more damage with bows
-[Jan2001] Trueshot Discipline used with slow, high-delay bows will be more powerful


From the posted logs, damage seems close. With a fully raid buffed BIS ranger, it is possible (not likely) to achieve ~1000-1200 damage crits with Trueshot. Any additional logs would still be helpful.

And I just noticed when Trueshot fades, it says 'The natural energy fades from your bow.', but according to the logs it should say 'You lose the concentration to remain in your fighting discipline.' I'll see about changing that.

Nilly B, can't thank you enough. Your dev time is greatly appreciated!

Nilbog, this fix process rate of weapon effects coming from mainhand delay as well?

Not sure what you mean by this. If it's not on my list above, it is likely not covered.

When firing a bow with a proc, it will use the weapon delay of the mainhand weapon to determine the chance of firing that proc.

Please see the video link below where a shadow knight with the wuoshi dropped Skydarkener, will proc basically every other shot, while using a weighted axe.
