DFC Arrows

[TerriBlades]

<p>Having seen these arrows last night.. I just have to shake my head.</p><p>The stats (Damage, Range and To Hit) are just about on par with ammo from a DT bow, add in the proc and they might just be better. </p><p>I'd really like to see some testing to see if these level 40? (I believe) arrows are actually on par with the level 70 summoned ammo. Cant post any screenies cause Im at work, but maybe someone else can?? If not, I might post them when I get home.</p><p>Not that it really matters anymore with Tenderwood arrows and all, but how does everyone else that owns Ichorstrand or Bazkul feel about arrows 30 levels lower being almost equal to level 70 ammo?</p>

Someone in ww channel said, they wont hit as hard as DT ammo even with better stats - he mentions rarely doing 1k hits with them. Seems the Level is important for the damage too, and not only the Stats. /shrug

That was definately one of the things I was wondering about.

Don't they also have to be crafted in the zone? I thought I saw mention that the DFC crafted stuff had to be done in-zone and I know I've seen my guildmates comment on a lockout on zoning in, even before killing any named. So that would limit them in some way.

I was doing the testing on these yesterday and posted my findings in the WW channel. From what i can tell, they dont hit nearly as hard as dt ammo does, and the proc hasnt gone off once yet. I dont think i got one hit for over 950 with those arrows, whereas with dt i was easily breaking that

Yeah, I'm 99% sure that the damage you can do with a bow is tied to the level of the ammo you fire from that bow. So shooting Level 40 ammo > Level 70 ammo. I think it basically ties the AA damage you can do to which ever is lower, the level of your bow or the level of the ammo it is shooting.

That pretty much answers any questions I had about the arrows then. <p>So it would seem that along with the modifier information that we see listed on the different arrows, there's also a hidden tier base damage. I guess that makes sense.</p>

when the whole Arrow changes came out I posted a big thread comparing the arrows of different levels and asking why rangers summoned arrows were equivalent to crafted some 20 levels lower and Illucide didn't come right out and say it, but hinted very strongly that the level of the ammo has a BIG impact.
