DPS increase?

Racmo · 02-22-2006, 08:18 PM

I'm trying desperately to figure out how to increase my dps even a little bit. Of course switching poison types are one, but I have a question around arrows.

I thought all arrows were nerf to level 1(ie, tin arrows = cobalt arrows), but I'm seeing some people post that it makes a big difference. What's the deal on this? anyone?

higher teir arrows only make a difference using auto attack, using CA's they all work the same (another stupid game mechanic imo)

nonetheless.. now are you really willing to pay out MORE money to try and KEEP UP with some t2 dps classes? lol

If I'm not mistaken, the simple answer is: When using CAs, arrows aren't a factor. When autoattacking howerver, using level appropriate arrows will increase your dps!

The few days when all arrows were rated at level 1, the arrows were bugged. They were fixed just a few days after the bug hit live servers.Tier-appropriate arrows make a huge difference in ranged auto-attack only. They don't effect combat abilities at all.

Thanks!

Well, do I have a choice? I can either quit or pay more money. both are options I'm considering. and since autoattack became a much larger factor in my dps, it helps to maximize what little you can there I suppose.

Yes I agree. Just another way rangers have to pay $$ to be t3 dps now.
