    Blue/Red/White Coral Arrows

    These are broken. They are 30% or so water-based damage, and the damage hardly ever procs making these worthless.

    Testing silver arrows vs. any of the coral arrows, silver performs better every time. Even with Red Coral, the highest rank of coral arrows, on a hippocerf the silver still outdamages the coral by about 10%.

    This is ridiculous, and needs to be addressed. A 14 rank difference should mean a LOT and currently it's best to stick to arrows with 100% projectile damage instead of 70% and another element. The proc rate is so low, it's pointless. So either guarantee the proc every arrow, up the proc rate, or do SOMETHING so these arrows don't suck.

    Thanks,
    Kala K.

    Does the dmg proc? I thought the dmg they done was just 30% elemental based.

    Sorta like the axes with slashing 60% and blunt 40%.. 60% of the dmg is slashing based and 40% blunt.

    Which would mean that even with the damage being combined, it's STILL lower than regular arrows. That sounds pretty broken to me.

    Yeah at the moment arrows don't work well. For example I can do more damage with warped arrows than with silver arrows sometimes. The only thing I notice about better arrows is higher accuracy. But all this should be fixed in 1.19 when the new mechanics will be introduced.
