This is what you think is right, Baugi.

Thanks, but no thanks. If it's classic, it's classic. It doesn't have to make sense.

I'm sorry that your character is inconvenienced by this bug and/or feature, but that's no reason to misrepresent evidence.

Are we really talking about adding something like 75 damage to something like:

Hopefully not. It's clear from the Luclin era parse that if damage bonus is supposed to be based on bow delay, it definitely doesn't use the 2handed chart.

its no classic tho

sks only have 75 skill for a reason, they are NOT supposed to be good bowers

like how much evidence to u need? there is not 1 shred of proof people equipping a weighted axe for a bow kiting "boost"

I feel like the onus is on you to prove a game breaking bug is supposed to be the way it is

And yet, they have near 100% accuracy with a good dex vs. agility matchup. It's telling that you don't seem to care at all about the underlying PVP formula being broken and heavily slanted towards gear/stat buffs/avatar.

I'm still waiting on any evidence really since your patch note is both inconclusive and contradicts the Luclin bow parse. I'm not the person you have to convince though. I don't know why it was implemented the way it was, just that it's been that way on P99 since ~2011.

There's a very small window where this bug/feature would've been relevant on Live (post 2handed DB buff late Velious and pre Luclin) so it makes sense that no one got around to playing with weighted axes and bows, as evidenced by the fact that we have NO in-era bow parses. You're demanding that the developers completely rewrite the archery formulas while giving them nothing to work with.

He is probably right. If they can't use the current damage bonus, then creating a damage bonus table for those bows that have a long delay due to the inherit fact rangers can sometimes double damage and crit could be a bit of work.

Sigh maybe there just wouldn't be a damage bonus for bows at all then.

But I still stand by the fact that the damage bonus from bows right now using the Weighted Ax in PvE is not doing more damage than meleeing with weapons that often have double attack and allow riposte or (crit and berserk; if an Ogre or Troll warrior)

no it hasn't , it broke very recently with the 2hd damage bonus patch. PROVE to me it should be broken like the way it is

Yet you completely ignore the part where they specify bow damage is based on the bow itself - not just trueshot disc.

Selectively reading? Prejudice? Either way I cannot believe you are this obtuse. This is my last reply. Good day.

can confirm tune is just mad that he lost the server and thinks bowquest is the reason.

Bows working as intended.

Moved to resolved.

lets stay on topic, but as far as "loosing" goes

the server was a wasteland for 2 years after apex quit.

You then decided to come out of your hiding in <sanctuary> to accomplish 1/2 of what I've done

great win

[Jimjam]

Apesex killed the server (harder than it already was) then quit cos server was killed.

Funderdumbs were good tho.

Edit: sorry the tone of Tunes post had me thinking this was rnf. Please ban if needed. My post is legit as this have been bugging me.
