Vex thal can and has been cleared many a time. Its mobs are killable and handleable just like any others, aside from the fact that they are quite high level and storm aggro everything, but you just have to get enough people and TACTICS to take car of business.

I'm not gonna flame anyone just going to inform, this bow may not have great dly but if you want to lay a finger nail on a mob in VT you need a weapon with Greater Akheva Bane Dmg. That's all I have to say carry on. :-)
Also the stats are nice and there are several sks/pallies out there who just use a bow as a range item, ive fired my nightmarewood bow 2x in the past 4 months go 75 skill.. but a ranger with one of theses slaughers akhevians damn quick without overpowering the bow once it runs into those elemental ones...

u dont understand what ur talking about mr 31 beast lord. Vex Thal will not become "newb hunting grounds" now that PoP has been released. Let's take ToV for example, when luclin came out did ToV become "newb hunting grounds" i dont think so, look at the loots there and youll see that the items are still great even by todays standards. Yes PoP loots will become better but VT loots will still be really nice. U got to get some experience under ur belt before u can go around calling vex thal newb hunting grounds.

Now that that's been said, let's discuss how hard the Plane of Time will be!
yeah dmg/delay sux, yeah the bane dmg is nice. But thats not what makes this bow awesome 25ac 15str AND 125hp on a range item is AWESOME for a warrior.
Uhh sorry but it IS the bane damage that makes this weapon nice. Without the bane damage, it is only 1/35 damage ratio which is completely useless no matter how many stat buffs you have on you. This bow is truly useful only against mobs classified as Greater Akheva. I doubt you could take down a gnoll pup with this.

If you were me and I were you, would we still be friends?
even my limited expertise from the point of veiw of a lvl 46 war says that ac and hp in range is good, str never hurts either. well just my opinion, might be better stuff, i really dont know, new to this higher lvl stuff but tryin to learn. peace guys
I keep on hearing.. "And how many people are really going to see the inside of Vex Thal" This is EQ.. Give it time, and more and more guilds will get the keys... ATM this is the uber of all the uber zones in the game.. Just like ToV was after Velious was.. But, now.. You can go to ToV on any given day and find guilds in there, that are not the Uberest in the game.. But have the people/equipment to do it..
And as far as this bow goes.. Any warrior that has not been lvl 60, and in some super uber guild would think this to be a excellent range item. Dmg on a bow for a warrior is not important.. Only really matters to rangers.. Anywho.. That's just my opinion.. And we all know what opinions are like.. <!@#$!> Everyone has one.. =b-
in estimation by verrant only 6% of EQ population will ever see Vex Thall, and I can see why, sigil on lanys was a guild merge from two of the most powerful guilds on the server, and they have killed the emporer once, amongst numerous failures, the emporer is -insanly- tough
just curious, why wouldnt a warrior see vex thal? nice stats, 125hps nice as hell for range, str cant hurt either, dam not important if it agros mob ) me like
Who gives a crap about the damage? I only use a bow to pull anyway. The AC+STR+HPs make this an awesome item for a Warriors Range slot. Of course, how many Warriors will ever SEE Vex Thal, let alone get this?
I agree with WarriorOne, this is an awesome item for the range slot because of all the strenth and HP and AC. You don't see too many other bows or even range items with similar stats. If you are going to bow-kite, or plan on doing actual useful damage when pulling, use a different bow, but otherwise this is a great one.
This bow totally rocks. And like posts in other forums for similar items with bad base stats but awesome bane dmg...this bow would actually be 23-35. Sadly, its only against Gtr.Akheva, but maybe thats what Verant wants. Items that are incredible usable in only one zone mainly. Very nice strategy imo. Just my 2cp and some facts i thought would be useful.
