Here's a good example of long bows (against my conjo in grinder set up).
Marksman, 35m medium bow, casts parabolic shot then proceeds to hit crit 7, normal 6, crit 401, normal 486, [energy barrier 5], crit 7, normal 6, crit 459, crit 674, normal 491, ethereal 5. I can neither get in range or out of it. That encounter last 10 seconds max so no chance of getting near a tree. Clearly this is dmg class vs muppet, but if you can do this with a long bow at 30-40m why even consider a short bow? And also are people really running around with close to 50% crit hit rate? |

But you can have the 50% crit hit just with the sb

Sorry wasn't linking crit rate to bow type, it was an additional observation in this instance. Of course with a short bow you can get a 200% crit buff. However, to use it you would have to be in range of your opponent because you are using a short bow and so are likely to be taking substantially more damage than if you are 40m away with a long bow...no?

A good solution imho would be to increase the damage for sb and reduce it for LB. (whilst maybe also finding a solution vs hunters dist shot you out of camo to buff up and kill in one ambush with cb, as in this situation sb work well due to high as and cb supplying the damage). |

It's a tricky one.
I prefer to play as a disruptive hunter - camo and head into the crowd, cause a distraction, break the conjos rythmn, thrown in a cc spell and hope a conjo has my back. In the old days you could get in and get out alive (bring back the old escapist speed buff). These days a rvr hunter just ends up with a long bow spamming ensnaring and shield piercing with the marksmen. I'd throw in a defensive spell (not passive) for shortbows and make the tree a bit more crowd control focussed. Although with the amount of cc resists (xim gear and spells) and two dispells per 50+ mage, CC spells are not as effective anymore. Realm battles are often cc, dispell, cc, dispell over and over until one side runs out of dispells and the warriors clean up. Maybe passive's should largely be in the class specific trees, as we've seen with the damage resist passives in warriors being moved in favour of knights.... |

my point was,the damage dealt from outside of spell casters range should be less.since the max range mages have is 30m for a spell a bow that hits from 35m should be less thats all.bows that hit from inside thier range should hit more.
