Is the higher tier ammunition worth the cost?

[BenYitzh]

Should I be purchasing Indium throwing weapons for the extra damage? Or is it truely insignificant for the 4 or so tosses I get before the monster comes within melee range?<div></div>

<div></div>That's what I figured. But it was a fun idea to entertain when I noticed that double attack worked with ranged weapons. (The only reason why I'm able to get 4 hits in)<div></div><p>Message Edited by BenYitzhak on <span class=date_text>05-31-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:33 AM</span>

<P>There are times when you might want to consider having the right level ammo.   I use it occasionally when I am involved in a raid fight  where the mobs has a nasty dot aoe etc........ and we are a bit shy on healers.  If I can be out of range of the dots aoe barrage rampage etc...... then this might allow the healer to focus in more on the main tank.  I do not like to rely on this all the time but it is nice to be able to do this in a pinch.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

<P>About the only mob I can think of where you might want good ammo is Talendor.</P> <P>And possibly corsolander if you don't have a slow weapon and good resists.</P> <P>Other than that get your resists in shape and just beat down through the AE's.</P> <P>Grouping and Soloing, there really is no point to the higher level ammo for us.</P> <P>Regards,</P> <P>Croaker</P>

<DIV>I'm on the Venekor server and since we dont have any other ranged attacks,I'd say high damage weapons are a must have for killing that fleeing freeporter.</DIV>

<P>Oh yeah, never thought of it in PvP terms, but yeah on PvP servers it might be a good investment.</P> <P>Regards,</P> <P>Croaker</P>

Heh i've seen monks with str line out dmg ranged attackers on corsolander, and they take less dmg from the melee stomp.<hr size="2" width="100%"><p>About the only mob I can think of where you might want good ammo is Talendor.</p> <p>And possibly corsolander if you don't have a slow weapon and good resists.</p> <p>Other than that get your resists in shape and just beat down through the AE's.</p> <p>Grouping and Soloing, there really is no point to the higher level ammo for us.</p><hr size="2" width="100%">Also very good for Sharti i think it is, final boss in aoa x2. They are def worth the minor cost. I do swear I hit harder with throwing hammers then the shurikens though. I avg about 400-700 per hit as well. But if your Str build, you should definatly use them.<p></p><div></div>
