Use this bow until the Effect Procs,

Then switch to The WindStriker (I'd have 250Dex, 250Str and 250Agi)

Using A Fleeting Quiver bringing the 60 delay down to 18 with a 45 Damage, doing crits every other shot with my 200 Archery.

Using Damage 8 Arrows.

That's Damage53 Dly18 with 250Dex using a bow.

Good until Lev 55 for any ranger. Then we're hitting for 1000 per shot anyways with Trushot skill and Disc.

I know that this a a very old post but jsut for all the young rangers out there reading on how you can be better... as far as the delay reduction on the fleeting quiver... it WILL not bring it down to 18 LOL thats insane, but as far as the equstion Lew gave i dont know about eather... the most common equation is the weight reduction on the quiver devided by 3. so the quiver <60% red> takes about 20% off the del of the bow... this isnt haste just del reduction... however if you do ahve a haste item on like a SCHW <21% haste> it will override the quiver... me and a fellow ranger, him having hte SCHW and me the quiver, he shoots faster using the bow of the huntsman <20/30> but we shoot as fast when i got my SCHW.. :/ i was hoping to shoot faster becasue of the del red but it didnt work that way..:/ well i hope this rambling helps at all...

As far as this bow... its got a good proc but thats about all... there are faster and better bows out there...

its slow, BUT that high dmg cant be ignored.

perfect for the pulling shot, or popping that necro over there who u just know is setting his spells and medding so he can kill you.

By "this bow" I assume you meant primal. Primal is better than this bow. While 45 damage is impressive, primal is quite damaging enough and much, much faster.

Also, Agi doesn't affect Archery.

Also, even with AM3 you will not be Trueshotting for 1000 every hit, or even every second or third hit. An AM3 ranger with primal can certainly do enormous amounts of damage, but not quite that enormous.

Using A Fleeting Quiver bringing the 60 delay down to 18 with a 45 Damage

Not Quite, Quiver haste is not actually haste, it is a direct drop in delay. Formula works like this.
Base Delay of Bow-(%Wt Reduction/10) So with a Fleeting this bow would have a delay of 54(60-60/10)
