Shipmaster bow over the new chillbone?

**afrobug** · 04-06-2013, 08:11 PM

Can you guys share your experience using shipmaster's bow of force/tactics over chill bone bow of brutality/potency?

My opinion:
What I have is the shipmaster's bow of tactics and the new chill bone bow of brutality ofc both lvl 26. Sure the chillbone bow really bump my stats significantly. Damage went from 212.7 to 226.1 and DPs from 254.x up to 270.4. The increase in number is quite impressive no doubt. But I wanna share my experience using each on PvP. I can honestly kill easily with shipmaster's bow compared to chill bone. Dunno if it's just me or is there something wrong with chillbone?

On paper the bonechill bow of potency should DESTROY shipmaster, but it didn't impress me what so ever. The stats seem to be just eye candy. The shipmaster bow kept up easily with it in my opinion, but then again I'm more of a blade rogue myself.

I was surprised really because I kill less and die a lot with chillbone on,so I figured switch back to the good old shipmaster and there goes fast kills again.

Maybe the stats are just wrong and are more than they really are. I like my shipmaster bow better still

Don't have a chillbone yet, but it sounds like its speed might be off. If you get a chance, try going somewhere and hitting your aimed shot then firing as many arrows between aimed shots as you can get off. Find out if you can get the same amount of arrows off in the two second cool down with the chillbone as the shipmasters.

There is a known bug with the damage output of the Bonechill BP. Also, since the last weeks update the speed of all bow release speeds was nerfed. The Bonechill BP serves me well in Elite dives. Having the Proc that grants a spike in damage without having to charge is better than having to charge for a possible stun in my book. Since all bow releases have been slowed, I have to say Bonechill BP over the Shipmaster BF/BT. Also, I'm guessing they are going to fix this output bug as well.

Guys its bonechill, not chillbone. Anyways, i do pvp a lot if u ask me, i like BONECHILL than shipmasters.. I kill more now than with ship. Its just my opinion. And yea the added proc with plus dmg is also why its better in pvp. U dont have to charge it.
