    Since Xbow is faster than a gun it would be easier to time it than a gun to land procs too. Seriously, and Iron giant can land 4 moves in the time you are standing there waiting for your gun to go off.
    Huh? What does weapon delay have to do with weaponskills to proc blue !!s? Your argument here makes no sense whatsoever.

    Pretty sure they mean that it takes too long to build TP with a gun, compared to a Xbow. Since your not after the dmg for !!'s the high delay is a killer when your just trying to find the right WS.

    The following is game feedback that I originally posted on Alla. I agree with the OP that we need a decent crossbow upgrade for the post 75 world.

    ---


    Ranger in general has not fared too well lately. In particular, those who have focused on marksmanship with crossbows have been all but left behind.

    The main problem is that there isn't a crossbow path in the magian trials. Archery and Guns, yes. Crossbows, no.

    Crossbows and guns are not interchangeable to rangers just because they are both under marksmanship skill. They are completely different playing styles.

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

    Please consider adding a crossbow path to the magian trials. The end objective of the trial should be a significant upgrade to Othinus' bow, which is dmg 54, delay 432, RAtt +18. For an elemental trial path at the +2 upgrade, the new bow should be Dmg 78, delay 410 plus the same bonus by elemental path that is applied to bows. 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?

    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

    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.
