It works with Thirst for Blood with Barbarians and the 2nd weapon spells for warrior weapons.

This is correct, unfortunately. You can't use buffs from one bow discipline and use it with a bow from the other discipline. They get cancelled out.

That adds to a total of an additional +40% dmg. +80% in total with recharged arrows.
+150 with Onslaught.
A total of +45 Dex from Manuever(5) and Feline Dexterity(5).

Yup, that could be true too.
Although Recharged Arrows isn't anywhere close to 40% of your total damage. It's only 40% extra arrow damage.

The marks was lvl 50, I am lvl 48. I had no protection buffs on me and no death sentece, sudden strike or something like that.

Ok, he is a marks, so he can have recharged arrow lvl 5 and the damage passive lvl 5. But I never saw that high damage before from dual shoot.

Here is my dual shot photo.. I am a hunter lvl 50...
What you have to consider when you see high damages is that the bows have a base damage of (at lvl 50)
(100-131) + arrows 50 on average + (9-15) per + (9-11) +(2-5) = 185-215 * 120% + 150
= an optimal damage of 623
but add buffs onslaught +150 dirty fighting +30% +head of pack 75 damage
= an optimal damage of 1034 per dual shot....
but there is more! with the new armor add ons... if you are hit by something you are weak against you get - bonus % so damages can increase dramatically...

Not many people listen when i tell them this.... maybe more will listen when they see more of my pictures....

ok lets do the marksman math...
the bows have a base damage of (at lvl 50)
(100-131) + arrows 50 on average + (9-15) per + (9-11) +(2-5) = 185-215 * 120% +15% + 150
= an optimal damage of 716.45
but add buffs onslaught +150 dirty fighting +30% +recharged arrows 40% arrow damage (50avg)
= an optimal damage of 1151 per dual shot....

the figures above do not include mage enchant buffs.... but if you think dual shot is powerful now... wait until you see the next update!

A hunter's dmg with Dual shot and base attack is different to that of a marks. Marksmen have base attack dmg boosting spells(recharged arrows, +40% dmg). He could also possibly have had maxed longbows with maneuvar, and as I said before hidden death sentence and maybe onslaught(Blunt dmg +150).

Remember the higher a persons normal attack .. the higher their dual will be.

Look at my image.... i shot a basic shot first then dual shot... if i had onslaught then my first shot would have the bonus damage not the second..

Now imagine +50% range attack with the new damage totals that you are aware of... 1700 damage dual shots are possible if everything is perfect...

There are more wonderful high damage secrets out there, but if you are not ignis.. I am not telling you..

The second hit with 825 damage was in front of the fort, there were many people around.

So yes, maybe he was buffed...maybe he had max dex passive, manuever lvl 5, recharged arrow lvl 5, damage passive lvl 5, +dex from conju, Xymerald short bow range 25 medium, off with their head, onslaught....


As you can see on one screenshoot his normal shoot is very high. In normal cases I am hit with this damage by slow long bows. But maybe he switched the bow, I dunno

Just by looking at this guys normal shot.. his basic optimal dual shot non buffed is
759 damage... without recharged
814 damage ... with recharged....
964 damage .. with onslaught....
*** to find basic optimal dual take this average normal attack
multiply by 1.20 then add the result to the base normal attack + 150 damage

this does not include mage buffs or dirty fighting...

Like GIMP?

I tested a bit around with dual shoot.

I am a lvl 48 marks. I had recharged arrows lvl 5, passive damage bonus 10% and dex passive +15

I used a lvl 47 fast range 25 short bow and did about 440 damage to a ghost of slaughter (it is lvl 37 I think)

I know that the test would be better with a range 20 medium bow but I don't have one.
