not true at all. and you didnt factor in the fucking AMP

Not if the ash is properly socketed

A robo will have slightly higher dmg

amp amplifies the damage

It was a baised math comparision.


I'd sock the bow with a 24 maxer (or 20/15). and still prefere a robo

this: 35-82 (with 24 maxer) (avg 58)

robo with 24 maxers: 18 To 105 (avg 61)
robo with 20/15s: 29 To 98 (avg 63)


so no! ... you are wrong... taking Amp into account it might be even better than a robo imo

(however the rare has only 1bow sk while robo has 3 ... dunno how big the difference is)

maths is the most difficult thing known to mankind

i think it adds 10% Ed and .2 lower mana cost

I agree... Amp is only really usefull vs chars you can shoot arrows at without having to switch to your shield and have a high amount of life and are slow moving.

I do like amp on an amazon. But having to trade in 50% of your total bow damage is to much of a sacrifice.

That math doesn't exist....it's doing like three less avg dmg....where are you getting this figure?

A good robo will have mid-high 80's max dmg and an insane one might be in the 90's

This bow has 82 max with 24.

i really dont see why you (and others) insist on saying you're losing 'half' your damage. its a loss of 3-5 average damage, not counting the 10% ED from the 2 bow skills

this isnt a fucking cracked short bow. stop over exaggerating the damage difference. in the long run, the amp is going to make up the difference in damage, if not surpass it, assuming ideal conditions.
