Killed Dagarn 4 or 5 times without seeing this bow over he last month or so. Killed Fabled Dagarn tonight. He did not drop the bow.......I'm still wondering if this thing still drops at all.

Can you still find this bow after the revamp? If so, who drops it?

As someone who tries to play their ranger to his fullest potential, sure, I'd want this bow. A ranger at higher levels needs a number of different bows for different situations... your 250 range cultural bow with a 170 range arrow means you can hit from well beyond missile range, spell range, practically even aggro range. =) For typical killing after 61, you want a featherwood compound bow or primordial driftwood compound bow. When you really want to hit hard, you want a stonewood compound bow.

Where you want this bow is soloing. With Headshot and Endless Quiver AA, a Fleeting Quiver, and 40 or 41% haste, you will mow down greenies, light blues and even lower level dark blues mighty fast. The more arrows you put out, the more opportunity for that 32K hit. With a primordial driftwood bow I mow through Dulak's and Nadox and Sebilis pretty quick... with this little number, I could make 65 wizzy farmers weep.

If there is a choice of who this bow should go to in an NToV raid, the Headshot ranger should logically get first dibs. This is icing for a warrior or rogue. For a ranger, it makes him a viable farmer and soloist in zones where he can still get decent AA xp with it.

It would be interesting to see this bow with the Force of Ykesha (125dd + stun) augment on it, though I suspect that would get you summoned and squashed pretty fast. Even without an aggro process, when you are in a dungeon zone, you can end up getting a wee bit too much hate with a good bow (as I discovered when I did 7100 damage to the fabled solusek goblin king in 12 seconds with a primordial driftwood bow, blessed champion arrows, a fleeting quiver, swiftwind, speed of vallon, and trueshot disc).

Now if only undead, cragwalkers, geonids, giants, rockhoppers, and wyverns were considered "humanoid"

OMG - I want this bow!
17 delay, Swift Spirit, Fleeting Quiver, and Headshot... I'll be mowing down Umbrous Toilers and Grimlings by the dozen - 250 Fletching, here I come!

62 ranger here. Picked it up last night so it wouldn't rot and decided to give it a shot.

EQ, AM1, fleeting quiver, swiftwind, prismatic(avatar), eyepatch of plunder.

normal hits are between 45-90. common lows are down to 3 & 4. common highs 150+, uncommon highs around 250. On a dragon in Ntov with trueshot high crit was 568.

all in all, not bad at all for the amount of dmg and the quickness of it. i'm putting it away til i get AM3 though. i'm already impressed with it, can't wait to play with it again in 13aa

Windsaber is 23/13
Using swiftwind and AQ haste, thats down to 11.5/13 (Assuming max haste of 100%)
This bow is 17/10
Using Swiftwind with AQ haste thats down to 10/10 (no delay below 10)

The maximum damage with this bow for a normal, moving target, is 87.25 Static Target 174.5 TS Static Target 349
The Best Damage with WindSaber is 102.1/204.2/408.4

(I have used the 10 dam arrows, but eliminated the elemental damage for now)

Comparing just the delay for a moment, 11/5 vs 10 with max haste, yes the Bow of the Destroyer is slightly better, however that 3 damage makes a huge difference at L60.

Incedentally, with 105% haste, the delay's would be virtually identical...

I have no information about this disclpline and was wondering where you all got the info..if you could tell me anythihg it would be great..but as it stands i am a 54 ranger and thought that rangers never got any disclplines

Why are you all whining about the cost of arrows? Anyone 50+ can go to any mid-range zone and come out an hour later with a couple hundred plat in stuff to sell: FS weapons, lowbie drops that sell (jagged bands anyone?).

Spend the money on good arrows! Its worth it with this bow! I plan on using AT LEAST 5 damage arrows on any big hunt: Trak, Western Wastes dragons, Kael, etc. And at 55 with TS Disc., I'll be dishing out thousands of points of damage before I EVER get in melee range.

Sheesh. Whiners... LOL

/bonk!

If I didn't already have a Windsaber, I would use this bow in my range slot while tanking because it does have nice stats. Windsaber is very nice, but when trueshot discipline is up, a nice 30 39 bow is far superior as far as damage output.

Have fun,

Anon 58 ranger

Well for all of you knuckelheads who feel the need to gripe about everything... Consider that non-rangers would love this item in the ranged slot. As a rogue I am always on the lookout for cool ranged slot items to make me feel sexy... By GOD this is a sexy bow ;-) I avoid pulling if possible(My natural taunt is more than suficient hehe), and when I do I usually use Vellium Shuriken or Froglok skipping stones, but I would use this. Nice stats sitting in my ranged slot and super delay to train the skill way up. Cummon admit it this is sweet in that function... the damage... lackluster granted, but think big )

The range is 150

First of all, by the time you can get this bow, as a ranger you'll have obtained your Tolan's Bracer a looong time ago, or if you're a Rogue or Warrior you have a friend with one. Secondly, it's good in the range slot during battle anyway.

5/17. Heh, this is faster than the windsabre, but the damage isn't there. I guess if you want to get 10 shots in before you actually begin to fight, this is a nice Bow.

Oh, no range is listed. Whats the range?
