Doom Weapons...

[Nightarcher]

First of all, the new Forest Haven is amazing! It really teaches new players that PL is an intricate world, in which you probably should develop some self-sufficient skills in dungeons early on. :P

Now, to the Doom weapons, particularly the bow. I'm just wondering, as these are the only level 1-10 pink weapons you can farm, why they're so far below par in terms of Holiday/Plat items? I would think that since at the level cap, plat items are useless, brand new low-level and extremely rare pinks would at least be as good as the non-droppables.

Yeah, that bow does look pretttty sexy. I just wish it had a little more bang for buck.

New Addition:

Ok, I obtained and compared this bow to a level 10 Trash bow. Observe:

Spiked Bow
16-25 Damage, 0.7 Speed, 3 Armor

Orcish's Wildfire Bow of Doom
14-18 Damage, 0.6 Speed, 6 Dex, 2 Crit

So, with Dex applied (1-1 Damage and Hit), the Orcish bow compared to the former has:

1-6 less damage
3 less armor
0.1 more speed
2 more crit
3-3 more skill damage
A supposed fire proc that really doesn't do much?

As you can see, this is not the expected jump from the most common bow at that level to an item 1,000 times rarer.
