I'm Starting an Archer
 

Just for shits and giggles, curious to know if damage wise I should go with a bow for more accuracy or a crossbow for more dmg per hit?

Up till level 20, you have to use a bow. After that, I recommend the Xbow.

This thread is useful.


X-bow as soon as you're able to use it, you'll most likely be spamming skills rather than single-attacking anyway.

thanks I 'll read up now, take care!

I found bow to be more useful up to level 50.. then went xbow after that...

xbow seems a bit slow when you dont have enough skills to spam at earlier levels...


EDIT: Actually i managed to get hold of some +9 bow so that might have made a difference..

If you have a Xbow [+9] you will notice the difference with the Bow [+9]..I used a Lv30 Bow [+9] and then a lv40 Xbow [+9] and i was like,OMFG..

Erm.. can you be a little bit more obvious on wat you noticed? XD

I did the other way around.. used a lvl 30 xbow (+9) then used a lvl 40 bow (+9) and I was like OMFG too but our reactions are most probably different..


I found the attack rate on the bow much more awesome than the xbow... I felt like i killed faster...

Lol..I was tring to say that, as you noticed that the attack rate was slower on the Xbow, i felt that the damage that i was doing to the mobs was extremely higher with the Xbow which is a little bit obvious XD
