New Xbow Damage

[Heroin]

I shot an archer yesterday with a double-heirloomed siege crossbow(135 wpf), while he was wearing a black robe. He lived, shot me twice(wearing mail), and I died.

Just sayin.

I shot someone wearing mail 4 times with a bow and they didn't die, and was then shot by said dude once with a crossbow and died from full health and 5 IS. Just sayin'

[RagnarLodbroke]

[ThePoopy]

That's strange because Balanced Siege Xbow is over 100 pierce damage. I don't wanna know how much damage 2nd heirloom adds.

[ThePoopy]

the archer maybe had 30 str, 10 if, 3rd loomed heavy gauntlets, 3rd loomed robe?

Personally, I'm glad xbows are worthless now. Pretty much everyone had a crossbow and end of rounds you would see 2 people in full plate shoot crossbows at each other from opposite roofs instead of fighting in melee.

IS? you mean iron flesh? if you have IF as an archer your build fails. sounds like your build fails any how.

[ManOfWar]

How much did the buff help archers?

[Miley]

Maybe he had 100 ironflesh :D

[ThePoopy]

btw, ranged weps do less dmg at longer ranges, can be the cause

Would be interesting to see what the DPS of the various ranged weapons are for a better comparison, if anyone could be be bothered.

IMO the siege xbow is pretty weak considering its price. It doesnt really 1 shot anyone and takes 6 months to reload. Its easily the least effective of the 3 ranged classes if going pure xbow. Im even fine with the damage nerf but the price hike makes it unsustainable to use unless sacrificing armour a little (873 to repair i think.)

DPS means nothing. Burst damage is what ya wan't, go back to wow you nub!

Xbow aint weak at all, you just go to use it properly.

I've never played WOW in my life. DPS is a standard measurement in many game genres you nub. I said it would be interesting so see if it would be more useful to use a standard xbow rather than siege since it can fire faster.

Rather than reverting to the usual "l2p noob" comments, be constructive in future so we can have a real discussion.
