price question woe and wop

[maddmatt70]

Faster than a twf tempest I find that hard to believe because of the number of attacks per round. I have a 14/2 ranger fighter. Use manyshot once in a while for certain situations, but the dps is not comparable. And I have a Holy greater lawful outsider bane bow. Then again I never pull out of the blades either. HPs are nice.

I would go into the shroud walk up to a lieutenant in part 2 by myself and with manyshot shoot the lieutanent. In 20 sec the lieutenant would be at 50% health. The next 1:40 I would do very little damage (the lieutenants get regeneration from other lieutenants). Archers do more dps for 20 secs then any melee build, but then they are far far behind a melee for the next 1:40.

Yep, manyshot is bigger for its duration, no question.

definately ., i think those that have not used manyshot dont know what it can do.

WoP bows are easy to get a scale for. (+1 WoP bows are pretty bad on Str rangers who'd be better off by far with a +5 Wounding bow, but they still go for a lot).

Con damage bows are worth that because they are so good against foes you do NOT want to melee, such as air eles. If you don't want it tho, put it on the AH for 300k-400k PP, it'll sell (but maybe not on the first try)

No idea on WoE bows. Probably a lot less, as they are only good for twenty seconds every two minutes, and they are debuffers rather than killers.

boldrin if you have any wop bows i'll take them off your hands for 50kp apiece

[jmelanie7]

No one is questioning your playskill or your gear. But they ARE giving feedback that archery kinda just blows.

Bows just arent highly valuable. But I would say the W/E is worth almost nothing, and the W/P is about a scale.

It only blows if you STRICTLY use ranged.... If you can play intelligently, your ranger NEED to carry that kind of bows...You know, with a high spot, you can kill mobs before the barb can SEE it!!

[ducetrae]

so true and it is usually me with a bow that lights them up so others can see them.

Got one, use it once in a blue moon... Now if you need WoP rapiers.. I'm your Huckleberry I've given away bows quite a few times... lol

Just curious how many shots a tweaked DDO bowman can get off in 30 secs? We shoot in RL, and our best guy can get off 12 well placed shots in 30 secs with a longbow.

Depending on the distance from the target, I would say an average of 10-12 shots would be fired in that 20 secs with a max of 14 or 15 if you were at point blank range.

range has nothing to do with rate of fire the character will continue to shoot the same rate weather the target is close or a mile away

on manyshot, a ranger with full BAB will get approx 5 shots per second for 20 seconds for approx 100 shots

sorry bold, a tempest doesnt come close during manyshot

8 or 9 attacks per round isn't close to that?? And thats constant, not for 20 seconds, throw in haste boost, and it's even more. Tempest with 20 second haste boost should out dps a ranger with manyshot. Having a lot more crits is one of the deciding factors

1 round is approx 6 seconds, so 9 per round you are getting 20 attacks. there are situations where you use bow or melee. on my pure dex ranger, when facing a large group of mobs, i can take them down w/o the mobs even getting near. no one is saying ranged is uber. we are saying for that 20 seconds, range has the edge over melee

try running BAM, POP or any other quests where you have mobs in an area w/o gates etc. target the 1st mob you see, run all the way to the end, draggin 20 mobs and manyshot with a w/p. that is what imp precise shot is for. a tempest focus on 1 mob. a "ranger" will do the same on 20

I recently sold a +2 w/p longbow on sarlona for 900k plat on the AH, but I would say I got pretty lucky with that. Typically I see them listed and (I believe) selling for around 500k plat (coincidently about what large scales are going for). Shortbows seem to go for alot less, I would say in the 250k range is pretty typical. Weakening enfeebling go for qutie a bit less, maybe fetching 50 to 100k on a good day. I would say a scale for both is pretty fair.. maybe a bit light. 2 scales is probably too much.

On a side note...
Both the w/e and the w/p are good weapons, but are very situational. I use them strictly while manyshoting and then put them away (except for in reaver where i use the w/p quite a bit on ele's). They are quite useful in the subterrane for taking out beholders at a distance (which is quite useful, as you can kill beholders before your zerging party-mates run up and get level drained). I actually use a weakening of puncturing bow for the beholders (i believe it to be superior due to the beholders low str.. you get autocrit when they are reduced to 0 str so the puncturing effect on many shot kills them nearly instantly)

Guess it really depends on the build and the gear then. I would never think of using a bow for normal situations. I break out the wop bow for air ellies and thats it.

Also just a note..... (while agreeing that ranged manyshot has the edge) .... you may ALSO use the haste boost while in manyshot And yeah i find it useful to pop out of the blades and light im up with manyshot particularly if you arent swathed in HP and its a'laggin in there.... we all love those nights when we're fighting, see in text that we have died, and 20 seconds later our health drops to zero from 400-500... lol
