I totally empathise with you. needed just 3 levels to make 100 offensive mage for dual casting... 3 levels and 1 week of tryin, not fun. I had 458k DP so we must have been around the same level.

Then I remembered the current state of these forum boards and that anybody who actually liked to test pretty much got upset with patch 1 and left.

I will add at the end that those who have done ranged fight and leveled it up 10 levels know a lot more than those who simply like to post a lot.

Launchers are the best damage in the game. q70 ammo has a max damage over 500 and that is also AoE. With patch 1 they lowered the amount of mats needed to make the ammo (it is now 12 not 13 ). You get 3 rounds of ammo for 12 mats. The ammo is very heavy and most people will be able to carry 9 rounds.

Bowrifles have much less damage (about 150 for q70). You get 12 rounds for 6 or 7 mats (dont remeber exact). Bowrilfes are much faster than launchers.

I have also toyed with bowpistols, but found the damage too low. I also have not played with an autolauncher since Patch 1.


Now with the current combat system, ranged combat is actually better than it was before patch 1. This is due to the harvesting changes as well as the fact that MOBs have much lower HP. This reduces the cost of leveling by a huge amount (cost is a measure of time spent gathering mats for ammo).

One thing that is a problem now is that you tend to miss or get the No damage message a lot more than you did before patch 1.

I should also note that they lowered the cost of ammo plans from 100 SP to 40SP. This is a huge plus
