horn bow vs arbalest

[Darkkarma]

Honestly, without looms the arbalest is pretty much shit, even at a dedicated build. Hitting things consistently from difference is very difficult. As a gen 16 arbalest user, I've been playing without looms for about two gens now and it legitimately makes me rage. Miw nailed it though. As an arbalest user if you are singling out peasants you are doing it wrong anyway!

Hmm, I hit people like 10 times with my Horn Bow +3 and they're not dead.

To be honest, I tend to get almost 1 shot by most arbs. than I against bows.

^it doesnt work like that.

It is how much PD over the bows requirement in native anyway

Since nobody pointed it out.

No, you are wrong. It's not just the PD over the bows requirement that gives you extra damage, it's all PD up to and including 4 above the requirement that gives you bonus damage.

6 PD and a PD 6 bow gives 6*14% bonus damage.
6 PD and a PD 4 bow gives 6*14% bonus damage.
6 PD and a PD 1 bow gives 5*14% bonus damage.

Got it?

Not with the current bow requirements, no.

If we ever get a 7 requirement bow though....

PD requires 14 wpf per point like throwing, so a 11 PD archer would need 154 wpf minimum so it could even make use of the PD... aka you're never going to be able to harness the power of 11 PD regardless of the requirements of a bow.

MRSHINE AWAY!

Truth be told, I hadn't checked if it was possible with a lvl 35 build. It's not. You're 2 wpp shy of 154 wpf with 5 WM
