Why are eagles so bad?

Please do

also answer this:
if u have
a bow that u need 82 dex to weild ( example)
and u have 83 does the damage u do vary from if you had 142?
As in, do you do more damage with that bow if u have 142 than 82 or the same?

Every single point of DEX adds 0.15 to damage. so 10 DEX = +1.5 damage. 20 DEX = +3 damage. And so on.

So in your example if you have 82 dex, you'll do +12.3 damage, and if you have 142 dex you'll do 21.3 damage.

Ah well, I was close.
It was a rough estimate

Birds are slightly weak at low levels. Trust me though, birds are way way way overpowered. You will die when you see how high your crit is gonna get with lvl 55 gear. It's like back to back criticals.

At 55, i've had a crit of 1256 (highest i've ever seen or heard of) , and 606 back to back. That's a lot of damage. I may have been melee potted, i don't remember but Gold Fever told me afterwards he wanted to change his name to Gold Quiver.

With or without melee pot?



@frenzyn:

As you level up, you're going to find yourself making very rapid relative gains compared to mages and especially, bears. In fact, if you read the forums, there are people complaining about too weak bears at level 50+.

2k is nasty, i believe it. had to be a melee pot though.

bears are still weak IMO, but a bear that doesn't play to DPS and plays to his strengths as a class can drastically speed up PVE runs.
Birds are insanely solid at solo DPS and if you play it smart you can do very solid multi-target DPS (positioning, timing abilities)

I think what Frenzyn is saying is that when he holds an STR weapon, it shows better damage stats compared to his DEX weapon. The reason for this is balance amongst the classes. If a bear can shoot long range with their close range weapon, it's like god mode.

Thanks for clearing this up guys. this thread took a turn for the better, got tons of comments and knowledge. im lvl 25 atm and still waiting for physologic
to take me under his wing. :3

[Redbridge]

You will become an instrument of destruction later, trust me. I will take you under my wing

Pick me. Pick me..... LOL

This Thread has perked my interest again.....

I could really do with re-energizing my efforts to level up my Bird (Bolticus) lvl41, have read your top guide and just cant seem to make it work for me. I think i've perfected tanking but it's not for me, and I really love my mage..... but it would appear Archers are where its at and I need to join the party. This became very apparent when, last month, a lvl51 bird joined (just) me to kill OL. Less than a minute, was impressive..... Mind if I look you up when i'm next on for some under ur wing guidance?
