September 22, 201015 yr i tried it at tormented demons for quite a while, i'm using a rune crossbow now with diamond bolts because i bought a bunch after the seers diary to see if the special attack rate was decent (answer: no) and may return to using the sighted magic long after i use those up it definitely doesn't suck at tds
September 22, 201015 yr I thought you could only use god arrows with a god bow?That just gives a higher chance of activating the elemental effect. Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP

October 14, 201015 yr Bump!So I read an interesting post on RSC detailing how range bonus affects cannon accuracy, and so I was interested in potentially getting the longbow (S) since it is 20+ bonus over Chaotic xbow and doesn't degrade. I think with max range bonus gear, cannonable slayer tasks would be faster than bandos+rapier possibly. Not 100% sure though.

Not 100% sure though.Bandos + rapier has far, far more dps than smlb, as in, having twice the max hit and the same or faster speed (smlb hits per 5 ticks, but I'm not sure if that's on rapid or not).

October 19, 201015 yr i tried it at tormented demons for quite a while, i'm using a rune crossbow now with diamond bolts because i bought a bunch after the seers diary to see if the special attack rate was decent (answer: no) and may return to using the sighted magic long after i use those up it definitely doesn't suck at tds I've used MLB and Rune X Bow with broads at TD's. Now, okay, for you people with steel titans that LIKE not hitting high, I see where your coming from. Because. It doesn't hit high. I find it sucks there, as the increased accuracy DOES NOT make up for the decreased damage. HALF the range str vs.... I can't remember, not that large an increase in accuracy. Especially not if your wearing ranged armor to go with it. I agree that the Sight is probably meant mainly for F2P. Shortbow, less accuracy, less ranged, faster, VS sighted, much higher accuracy, higher distance, slower. Same max hit. I want a refund on it :x Honestly, I think if Jagex wants P2P to use normal bows again, the longbow sight needs to increase damage, not just accuracy. It's a pity that brutal arrows can only be shot from a Ogre Bow. Ranged udpate that never seemed to take off, despite that Rune Brutal arrows have the same range str as dragon arrows. Now, if Jagex wants to revive arrows....allow the Sighted Magic Longbow (and possible the Sighted Maple Longbow for consistency) to fire brutal arrows, then add brutal dragon arrows and keep them relatively cheap.... We'd be looking at MSB with +80 ranged damage. THAT would make it worth using as something other then a low damage weapon. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it. Poignant Purple to Lokie's Ravishing Red and Alg's Brilliant Blue.
October 19, 201015 yr MLS would be worth it if dragon arrows are available to it... I tested out MLB @ frost dragons and it's way better than rune xbow + broads. However rune xbow + rune bolts are way more efficient. But since the Chaotic xbow is +120 range now, along with max range bonus + rune bolts, would beat MLB. The only thing that I like about MLB is that it looks sick with the scope.
