Hey there Guys how are you all doing?

 

These days I've been leveling my Ranger and I was thinking, Elven Bow or BXB?

 

I was leveling with a +10 Elven Bow with AS card and excited about getting a +12 BXB to try how far my damage could go higher with it. Perhaps the tests with a +10 BXB [2] was a bit disappointing. While I was able to hit up to 140k with my +10 Elven Bow I was only able to reach 110k with BXB. I was wondering if the 2 AS Cards would get my damage higher than 140k, but I don't think so. Trying to endow the BXB to use a stronger arrow I was able to reach 120k, but don't seems that it really worths the efforts, mainly because the SP drain for BXB is huge compared to the Elven Bow. I guess the BXB is just worth to put MvP Cards on it than? Because for Arrow Storm I don't see it worthing the costs.

 

The gears I was using was (Except by the Bow which I've said up there)
+9 Autum [1]

Miracolous Blush

Gangster Scarf

+9 EA2 CRI5 WWS with Porcellio

+9 ATK6% FS2 WWM

WW Boots with SP+250

WW Brooch with SP+250

+23 Physical Shadow Set

+16 Champion Shadow Set

+1% ATK Devoted Eyes

+7 Athena Shield

Costume Crown

 

So what about you guys experiments? Share with me your experience xD

+8 bxb with 2 AS cards is as strong as elven +9 with 1 AS card. ONLY for Arrow Storm of course and in the same conditions. BxB +9 with 2 AS cards is better than +9 Elven combo and the difference is higher with arrow's switch (i.e. vs ghost mobs like KK/Ceila) but +10 bxb clean is worst than +9 elven combo with AS. 2x AS in that bxb will obviously improve your damage but the price of your BxB will drop by a lot.

 

Basicly, get a +12 bxb clean or use 2x AS cards in that BxB if you want a nice damage. Personally I've reached 150k damage with a 2x AS +9 bxb and elemental arrow and a clean WW set

After testing the numbers myself, BXB always came up better when using the correct arrows. even with an endow on the elven. this is using a +14 BM elven as well.

 

my testing was in OGH using fire converters and asper scrolls for the elven and then switching to a +10 bxb uncarded with fire and silver arrows. my dmg rose about 5-7k for the BXB that was uncarded. i was debating on AS but figured if might be a waste on something so high valued as a +10 BXB.

 

other numbers ive seen and read about or examples if you wil - a bxb that matches the plus of the elven should be doing about 20k more dmg easy.

 

but if your numbers are hitting 140k with elven, thats crazy to me, never hit that with an elven before, even a +14 BM with converter (not sure if normal endow is stronger, like the crowns endows are)

I was using no special converter, just the Fire Converter against Green Lichern (Earth one).

 

Being level 139 with 109 DEX, 40 INT (for Autumm effect) and 77 LUK.

 

I do always see Rangers hiting a lot more with the BXB and also Calculators says so, perhaps in pratice it is not working for me. I wish I had a 2x AS +12 BXB to test as my Elven is now +12, so I would be able to compare the damage with both Bows +12 with AS Cards, but don't have it by now x.x

 

But for the experiences I've made yesterday I'm really sure that the BXB don't worth the effort, what is very very very strange coz in another Rangers I don't see the same thing happening.

I've already saw Rangers saying that BXB must be +12 or higher, so I'm going to try to teste it out.

 

I don't really think it is possible to the Elven be better only on my ranger hahaha.

 

Maybe on Bio4 with Celias I may be forced to switch to a +12 BXB coz of the arrows.

 

Anyone with both +12 Bows carded with AS to test it out and post the results?

 

Thanks guys!
