What are the current top Bows?

[Aerospacegod]

NOT COUNTING anything higher than level 30
(please post stats)

I have Sniper's battle crossbow (pink) level 29
39-53, 1.0, 7dex, 3% crit, 2h/s , 2 armour

Anything better or near that has other stats?

Jewel Thief's Heavy Crossbow

[Ph33r]

It saddens me that it looks generic

i agree. i hope devs can pimp the Jewel Thief's Heavy Crossbow.. It lacks the badass looks hehe

Heavy Crossbow of Finesse
40-54 dmg, 1.0 speed. 6 dex 2% dodge 2 armour

Heavy crossbow of Excitability
40-54 dmg, 1.0 speed. 5 dex 2% hit 2 armour

These bows give 1 more dps then the sniper battle crossbow, but the Sniper battle xbow is just better due to crit %

Jewel Thief Heavy Crossbow
40-54 Damage, 1.0 speed, 7 Dex, 2h/s 2 armour

Splurd, are you willing to trade your Jewel Thief Heavy Crossbow?

Nope .

[Aerospacegod]

Excitability is level 40, finesse 45, and jewel thief 50.

Since 31 is the highest level atm their useless.

*facepalm*

There are level 30 versions of those bows you know

[Aerospacegod]

Nope, but if someone *cough* had read the post and put that in the stats I would have lol

[Felora]

Jewel Thief's Heavy Crossbow

That bow is a level 50 bow. And I stupidly bought it cos I forgot about the level req. Now it is sitting in the stash.. until.. forever..

ooppss sorry, i forgot to say the level 30 Jewel Thief's Heavy Crossbow haha XD

[Druc]

Might be a stupid question, but do the levels of the bow change the specs? Are there level 29 and level 30 Snipers Battle Xbows that give different stats?

I remember seeing a speed 2.5 Snipers Bow mentioned in a post at one point (without a picture) but it might have been pre-nerf awhile back or the guy might have been showing off something he didn't have.

As far as I know, Sniper's Battle Xbow is only lvl 29, so all Sniper's Battle Xbows have the same stats. Jewel Thief's Heavy Xbow comes in the lvl 30 looted version, and the lvl 50 store version. The lvl 50 one has badass stats, but is obviously useless atm. I think if they make two of the same bow with different levels, then the levels are pretty far apart; but the stats do differ. I have definitely never seen a bow with speed 2.5...That's just asinine, Bobby.

While the archer dps fetish is amusing, the equation doesn't take crit into account, nor does it take into account the fact that now that your blast shot is fixed, a higher damage bow will gain more from the skill, which doesn't interrupt auto attack. There is more to the Archer class than just dps.

[Aerospacegod]

Trying to use the best bow while not giving up by 60int so I keep the m/s and total mana it provides...it's very tight x_X

Every way I look I'm about 5-10 stats short though I may be able to use the item stats to make it up...I wish there was a better way to see all the items.
We need a comprehensive level 25+ item list w/stats. If only I had a week off to make one :P

Actually blast shot was always like that.

Whilst I am not sure about this (need to compare with a melee str archer) but I think the blast shot damage is based on dps.
I tested it with a bow and a spike which gave me around the same dps but the spike had higher damage. blast shot damage was around the same.

But the real key to dps is crits. which is why sniper battle xbow is the best. Plus 2h/s is nice

um

The damage you lose by adding 50 int instead of 50 dex is far more destroying to your build. You are going to lose like, 5-10 dps by my estimate. Not to mention the lack of crit rate.
Just get items with m/s regen.

i dunno i have a heavy c'bow of finess and its much better then a sniper, my friend let my try his sniper and its just worst

[FriedSushi]

how? sniper gives one damage less, but 3% more critical

[BobFarmer]

Yes and 3% of 73 (his DPS with Sniper's) is 2.19. 2.19 > 1.
