lol u srs with that question dude?

pay attention hes on a warrior with a weighted axe

non-disc

Huh? Twainz didn't include any of the useful details so the question was very relevant. You still haven't included any of the relevant stats so it's essentially worthless to the developers. Also, he did disc.

Not sure why he bothered. The broken accuracy formula is an even longer standing bug as already mentioned.

Why is there no wiki selling record of weighted axe? Or is it nodrop?

[Gustoo]

Its usually vendor garbage and I don't think anyone uses it on blue at all.

Only used on PVP and there is no economy on red, so you gotta go kill giants and get one yourself.

[Twainz]

Disc aint really needed but just in case I miss 1 or 2 I might as well. 60 Ogre Warrior with a Weighted Axe.

[Gustoo]

This must have been fun like 5 years ago with pop and less people being able to explain the javelins destroying their toons.

Didn’t read log sorry tune just saw those 100 dmg shots.

On live only ranger with discipline popped and really only post AA points was archery good from my memory. Does anyone have other experiences from live?

Why am I able to do this much damage this fast on a Troll Warrior with a Weighted Axe. I'm legit a machine gun fighting kids with knives.

This matches up with my logs from 2000. I also remember it functioning this way from kunark until luclin launched. I was unstoppable on tallon zek.

Take it how you wish but 2 days after Luclin came out this person posted this on allakhazam (28 posts down)

https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...2&p=1#comments

On the topic of Primal Velium Reinforced Bow

Thoughts?

Also kinda sad to see the damage they are posting because Rangers certainly on p99 aren't breaking those numbers even before Luclin and with Trueshot.

The damage bonus on a weapon is added to the damage you deal to a mob.
For instance:
I have a level 45 bard, my sionachie's partisan has 6 damage bonus. When I wield it in my main hand (only had you get damage bonus in) all my hits will be of 6 points more damage than if I would wield it in my offhand.
So let's say that with 130str and 9 damage on the weapon the damage I can deal will range from 1 to 30 (no exact numbers, but they will do for explaining how it works). The actualy damage I do unto a mob will be ranged from 1-30 if I wield this weapon in the offhand. In the mainhand the damage I deal will range from 7-36.

Twohand weapons are also wielded in the mainhand (though you can't have one in the offhand...du'h) so for a twohanded weapon the math works exactly the same.

Damage bonus is calculated from the delay of the weapon and the level on the person wielding it. I don't know the exactly formula for it though.

Damage bonus, as far as my experience goes, has effect from level one and up, contrary to some that claim it to only go into effect from level 51 and up. I can say for certain though, that from level 40 it definatly has effect.

Hope I made some sense, Rakso.

He doesn’t say anything about archery just main hand

Actually he does. But I can see why you don't want to acknowledge it in case all of this is all actually part of the patching processes leading up to the release of Luclin.

Did you see he was referring to the post above his that very much was talking about archery.

Dmg Bonus?

Hey all, if you have this you are most likely level 60 with maxed Archery and high STR and DEX. What I want to know is what is the Dmg Bonus on it? And just how does it affect the max dmg outcome? I'm still a little lost on just how this Bonus works with regular Damage output. If anyone can help me out thanks, have fun all. Good hunting.

It was referring to the Primal Velium Reinforced Bow the item being discussed.

Interesting. So is this indeed not a bug but an OG strategy most people simply didn’t know about?

If I knew about logs I might have been able to compare
My ranger with woodsmans staff bow damage versus lamentation bow damage but 100% don’t have anything from olden times
