On paper this strikes me as a short range AoE bow for RNG's,which would be awsome for groups and solo camps.

Now I know its rec 60 but.....The camp it comes from there's no way a lvl 60 group is in there unless someone has a scummy low tiered alt for loot.

I spent some time out and about with this bow and used 448 range attack attempts and got 1 proc for a attempt to proc ratio of .0023,thats pretty bad IMO.

"updated a few hours later, over 2,000 shots 3 procs"

If anything can be done to up the proc rate a ton that would be awsome.

why are you showing pristine stats when you are presumably comparing "buyable" stats vs. the cita bow

okay now i see that you are not even talking stats really just the proc rate

 

[Gargate]

well more to the point is that kedgemetal is by far easier to get at a slightly less ratio plus stats. the other has no stats much harder to get a rarer drop and unless the proc is brought up a ton its useless for even a toy.

"Oh and why compare pristine is very simple,Crater is no drop means you have to loot it,pristine is when you loot it gotta be there or buyable for slightly less stats."

I upped the proc rate a little bit as well as the range of the bow which I did not intend to be 0.

Thanks for taking notice of this thread Marza

The over all range increase is decent,and yes it does proc more often.

Odd thing though I have all spell graphics on and am intentionally kiting more then 1 npc in case i miss the giant red pillar so I'll still be able to see dmg on the other npcs,so far the proc only seems to go off when I'm at min range to use range attack.Is that intentional?

plz make it targeted AoE instead of pbaoe then its perfect
