Question about ranged auto attack in LU21

[Foiled Aga]

<div></div><div></div><b>- Bows and projectile weapons should now do similar damage to melee weapons during auto-attack, making ranged auto-attack just as viable an alternative as melee auto-attack.</b>ok but isn't this a nerf? when using my ranged auto attack i'm putting out a minimum of like 200-300 damage at level 35 (admittedly this is every 7 seconds), but my melee auto attack is in the dumpster, so this is mainly a question for the higher level players who can comment on it. is this lowering our bow auto attack damage or raising it? kind of confused on it.<b></b><div></div><p>Message Edited by Foiled Again on <span class="date_text">03-08-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:57 AM</span></p><p>Message Edited by Foiled Again on <span class="date_text">03-08-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:58 AM</span></p>

I think damage modifier calculations changed at some point in DoF but at one point, early on using the first imbued rare t6 long bow on my server, I could easily do 1k damage with indium arrows when self-buffed using ranged auto-attack.</span></div>

It took a little bit of effort, but I found my first test with the swanky new pristine conditioned ironwood long bow.http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=miscthreads&message.id=444#M444</span></div>
