Spooks Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Other than PvP What makes the dark bow woth its 1M price tag How many runescapers does it take to fix a lightbulb?50, 1 to screw it in and 49 to complain that it was better before.

Lets_3ekout Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 It shoots 2 arrows at a time! FTW \ ... And does so at a much slower arrows fire per hour rate, even counting that it fires twice at once. The only thing a dark bow is half good for outside PVP is it's special. If you're ranging black dragons, it's nice to keep a dark bow in your invent just for the special - but it takes away valuable inventory space (if you bring a DB as a special weapon, it's only good against high defence monsters really). That and the coolness factor is all the darkbow has going for it.

killerbeer0 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 The accuracy makes up for the speed. The spec owns. All in all it gets xp nearly the same rate as the magic short in my experience. OH S***! He/she/it is back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. VERY wrong. I've done the calculations myself, using my own, accurate, info. I've also seen countless others do the same thing. The extra accuracy doesn't make up for squat. At something like black dragons, perhaps it might, but range is already excessively accurate with d hides and black dragons are something you should NEVER hunt for xp, not any over monster with high def. Count your xp per/hr with a darkbow at something like caged greaters and you will realise it gives significantly less xp/hr then a oak shortbow. Litterly. Never train for xp with darkbow, ever.

Troacctid Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Since the dark bow special attack has a minimum hit, it means if you get enough people with dark bows together, you can all use the special at the same time to kill any boss monster in one attack.

matrix2613 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 How about, instead of 250 people, we use 40. The fight would look something like this-- Tip.iters enter with Rune Crossbow and Ruby Bolts (e) and range the beast to about 30-40% health left. Take out the Dark Bow for the kill, hitting a minimum of 16 per player, or at least 600 damage, I would guess about 850 damage. By the time the next one shows up and gets down to 30-40%% health again, your special should be back. It drains 55% of the special bar by the way. I am f2p and have no idea on how the fight would actually go, but 40 seems like a much more reasonable number then 250. woot.You are one with the matrix.

compfreak847 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It's an underpowered weapon with an overpowered spec. You can combo 122 damage in 1 shot with it (26 ice blitz + 48-48 specs), higher then any player's hitpoints, turning BH into a luck game with a bunch of D bowers at the exit waiting for you to end a fight with low HP. It's fun, though; I've gotten 45 specs with 95 range, and hit over 80 damage in 1 combo. Except that it isn't useful for any form of training.
