mmmm it pretty much do all of this. It does 2xdmg on stationary targets, trueshot work alright, quiver haste works too, dunno if it's 0 aggro but it's next to nothing (always assumed it's because it's just so fucking slow) and it does gross dps with trueshot and good arrows

My theory was always that the Hate was calculated from the arrow's Damage/Delay. And because arrows don't actually have a delay, it calculates the hate out to a very very low number, assuming the delay is huge.

I know on Al'Kabor our Rangers would always be the final ones to die especially if they were out ranging AEs by shooting from max range.

I don't understand archery. Do people love the BFG so much because it's a cool looking weapon? Or is it actually better dps than other bows with comparable/better ratios?

it's a primary melee weapon that goes off archery, each time you swing it eats an arrow, so with trueshot you get double damage on stationary targets and you just eat mobs alive, it's super duper gross

So with 8 DMG arrows you get a .56 ratio primary + trueshot... that could be fun. 50 Del is so bad though.

BFG reminds me of doom. What weapon are you talking about?

[Man0warr]

That's why they have the same acronym. It's a Doom reference.

this is classed as 2 handed? no dual wield?

when its in primary you still get double attack? which as far as I know, doesnt happen on a bow?

so like having a wurmslayer, but twive the damage+ crits+TS ?

[Fanguru]

You still dual wield (offhand also hits).
You still double attack each hand.
You get double damage on non-moving mobs.
You get crits.
You get haste.
You get primary damage bonus.
You get trueshot.

BFG is fantastic for rangers, you get the best of ranged attacks with the best of primary, but it eats up a lot of arrows.

Don't expect beating rogues at similar gear level, but that's a fantastic boost anyway.

BFG ranger on trueshot can very much beat rogues on a fight lasting between 45sec and 3min, after that, depends
