That's certainly the theory, and probably nearly true when it comes down to actual weapon damage, but was wondering if the same can be said about weapons. Basically, it boils down to this: I am torn between sticking to my Royal Crossbow, go back and buy a set of Virtus off GE again, or even blow money on a pair of Ascension Crossbows. This is mostly for slaying purposes only and general killing, with bit of bossing on the side too (mostly QBD). Drygores isn't on the menu due to BoL being extremely unfriendly to melee, especially if competition is involved, at least not yet. Also wanted to check if my hunch of Magic being better than Ranged was just a delusion or was there any substance to it.
