Some answers on your questions, if I am mistaken I am quite sure someone will come along and let both of us know <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> Shift_Runner wrote:<BR> <DIV>Heya.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just wondering ...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1. Increase DPS - work on autoattack only or on combat arts too ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00>This is only an increase in your autoattack damage. However, your autoattack damage should be contributing a good amount to your overall DPS if you are using tier appropriate arrows.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00></FONT> </DIV> <DIV>2. Stream of Arrow = CA - so if nt work on CA not work on Stream arrow?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00>If I follow you, you are saying if an increase in DPS does not work on CA's then that means it wouldnt work on STRoA?  If thats what you mean then yes, you are correct.  If it is a "DPS" increase it will not increase your Combat Arts damage.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00></FONT> </DIV> <DIV>3. increase Attack speed work on Stream of arrow ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00>No.  An increase in attack speed is an increase in your auto attack speed...ranged and melee.</FONT></DIV> <DIV>4. Is it differnce which bow i use for Stream of arrow ? or only str I have ...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00>All CA's are only dependent upon you having a bow equipped...at level 70 I could equip a level 5 bow and still do almost 10k damage with Sniper Shot.   Your CA damage is affected by few things...AA's (that specifically increase that CA's damage) and strength.  Strength WILL increase your CA damage.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00></FONT> </DIV> <DIV>5. I have Bazkul and can summon Umbral darkness and have Ichorstrand and can summon Viscib glob - equil dmg ? or ? different type of dmg or (slashing/piersing/crushing) ? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00>I am not positive...but I think both of those are magic damage.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00>Someone else will clear this one up I imagine.</FONT></DIV> <DIV>6. Is anyone using adornment for bow which make tinkering ? Which one you advise for Bazkul ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#ffff00>There are not many adornments out there for bows...sinew is I THINK the only type of adornment for a bow.  Perhaps someone could suggest one for you.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>TY </DIV> <DIV> </DIV><BR> <HR> </BLOCKQUOTE>Have a good time in game <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><BR>

Increase DPS - work on autoattack only or on combat arts too ?</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#669900>CA's will always make up your major portion of dps.   Upgrade your big hitters asap.   Auto-attack is your single biggest dps contributor, so increasing haste/dps and bow will have a significant impact.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2. Stream of Arrow = CA - so if nt work on CA not work on Stream arrow?</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#669900>This really is dependent several factors: on what bow you use, what your haste/dps buff is at, and what other buffs you have.  M1 SoA is very good though, and in most cases will benefit you more, ... at least until you can find yourself setup to take advantage of auto attacks.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3. increase Attack speed work on Stream of arrow ?</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#669900>No ... but there's a AA rank that will increase your rate of fire, which is very nice, especially if you can get M1 SoA.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#669900>I used to think "POISE" benefited the rate of fire of SoA, but to be honest, i'm not sure either way.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>4. Is it differnce which bow i use for Stream of arrow ? or only str I have ...</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#669900>No, dmg from SoA is based only from the CA rank and your STR.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>5. I have Bazkul and can summon Umbral darkness and have Ichorstrand and can summon Viscib glob - equil dmg ? or ? different type of dmg or (slashing/piersing/crushing) ? </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#669900>Both arrows are pierce only, and there is no difference b/w the 2.  When KoS first came out, Umbral Darkness was divine dmg, and Viscib Globs were poison dmg, but they changed/nerfed these to "pierce" only after about 2months.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>6. Is anyone using adornment for bow which make tinkering ? Which one you advise for Bazkul ?</DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#669900>There are bow adornements (made by woodworkers) that do +12 pierce or +12 slash,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#669900>There are also "symbol" adornements (made by carpenters) that do elemental dmg,  +45 poison, +45 heat, +45 magic, etc ...</FONT></DIV> <DIV><EM><FONT color=#669900>check the "tradeskills -> Transmuter" forums for a complete list of adornements available for every slot.</FONT></EM></DIV> <DIV><BR> <HR> </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><p>Message Edited by Gerdos on <span class=date_text>12-30-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:00 PM</span>
