On the fire element side, for example, that is Str +9, Ratt +20.

You want an elemental magian xbow to have 11 more damage than the level 90 mythic?

What I meant was trying to time your WS to hit between TP moves for your !! proc, much easier to do when it doesn't take forever for the shot to go off; timing ANY weap to proc on an Iron giant sux, but guns are the slowest of all weapons. Also, if a mob heals when taking damage if a certain condition is met, you can get more shots off in the available window between those conditions.

The best crossbow for a ranger has not changed since atleast the NA launch - a level 67 weapon, Othinus' bow.

virtus xbow says 'sup
DMG: 60 Delay: 469 AGI +8 MND +8

6 base dmg and 8 agi to your ws mod make up for the ratk +18 which doesnt matter much if you are using elemental ws's/holy bolts or w/e.

yuoou can do the math to make o-bow look better but it'sstill not the only option rng has now. times change. get a gun :p

You mean most damaging WS. Namas Arrow is still very useful, especially in the few remaining places where RNG is still wanted. Generally, the places you are asked to come RNG are where you DON'T want to pull hate.

Also, 2.75 damage multiplier with a 60% STR mod and a extra 25% damage multiplier tacked onto the end might not be as much damage as Jishnu's but it's not terrible either, especially when it's hate free damage.
