[REQUEST] Arrow of Tactics

[Longfeathers]

My request is to have "Bane Dmg: Humanoid, Rallos Zek XXX" added to the
Arrow of tactics - webtools/items.php?id=121449

Many thanks, GM's, for your review.

Please refresh my memory - been a while. Who in Potactics drops this? Couldn't find it on the clone or my notes

Salutations Tyler,

Arrow of Tactics is summoned from the Pouch of Tactics:

webtools/items.php?id=121450

The pouch is a dropped item from the mobs inside the raid instance of the Vallon/Tallon fights.

"In Drunder, Fortress of Zek by
A Guardian of Tallon
A Priest of Tallon
A Wizard of Tallon
A Guardian of Vallon
A Priest of Vallon
A Wizard of Vallon"

If not innately having bane damage, could the arrow be combined with the same components inside of a container to make it a bane damage item similar to the melee/caster quested bane damage weapons?

Thank you for your consideration, Tyler.

That's a decent idea right there.

[Tyler]

Hate to agree with Lillu but yea - good idea.

[Dirkus]

Thank you for implementing this!

I just got home and saw the Dark Arrow post by Tyler. Many thanks on behalf of all the little woodland creatures (rangers)! I enjoy playing the ranger (main) as a ranged dps class.

After some initial testing the Arrow does not do very much damage compared to the other bane weps. I was hitting RZ for ~4k per shot with donor bow while the 1h bane weps were hitting upwards of 20k for my ranger.

Thanks for the arrows, just wanted to provide a little feedback.

Alright - wasnt sure where to place the Arrow damange so i thought start out low and raise it if necessary. Will adjust it a bit further.

Tyler,

I just did a test with the updated version of the Dark Arrow of Tactics.

Mob of choice: Most Angry

Utilizing Rk 2 buffs + both ranger donor weapon clickies + ranger epic 2.0
Weapon: Donor Bow + all 3 donor augs + Claw of the Hunter + Claw of the Spider Queen
(267 dmg/ 19 delay +10 magic dmg, +5 fire damage, 15 damage bonus)
Arrow: 12 damage +60 Zek Bane damage

Please see Longfeathers' magelo at:

webtools/magelo/character.php?char=Longfeathers

He is, what I consider, maxed out on damage possibilities when it comes to ranger bow damage, so please remember my damage output should be considered higher than the average ranger.

Bow:
Using no combat ability my hits ranged from 126 to 4942 damage per hit
Using the Power of Fear combat ability my hits went up to 10,744 damage.

Two-Hander:
Using no combat ability with my "Big Blue Hammer of Zek" 2hander+Xeru 2hander Augment: I was able to hit Most Angry for 1998 to 10,870 damage. I actually triple attacked a couple times for 10870, 10870, 10870.
Using the Power of Fear combat ability my damage went up to 17,462 with double attacks and triple attacks the norm.

I will be testing this out against Rallos Zek tonight as well, but as of right now. It looks like the arrow bane damage should be more along the same lines as the One-Hander's at +250 Zek Bane damage.

Many thanks for your considerations,
Longfeathers
