Title: [Sniper] PVP Bow: Which is the better choice for damage?
Post by: skywire on Apr 01, 2012, 02:00 AM
I play at a pre-renewal server with a max level of 99/70. I'm planning to make a sniper but I don't know which bow outputs the highest damage.
/wah

Is it a +10 Composite Bow with 2 hydra 2 skel or 3 hydra 1 skel?
or a + 6-8 Valorous Battle Crossbow?

or something else?


[Please bear in mind that I have no access to MVP cards.]

Thanks in advance to those who will reply.  /no1

I believe the BG weapon has higher damage output.

Valorous battle crossbow is the strongest. It gives 100 attack compared to 20 off a composite bow, and also 55% damage to demi as well 20% defense piercing.

But you should really consider if pvping with DS is a good idea. It can easily be tanked and out potted by anyone with average pvp gear.

The only real use of this weapon is in PvP rooms with potions disabled (where DS is actually a strong skill) also it's the best weapon to bio lab with.

yea. u wont really win against truly good players with a sniper anyway.

not unless u are miles ahead of them, and that means they aren't truly good :/

So I just went and tested my damage with these bows. The BG bow is the strongest one at those levels of refine.

abuse earthen bow's wrong description.
it inflicts stone curse on your enemy

just put hydra/Kaho card and stone arrow
(dont worry about element damage, earth to earth is 100%)
