Dragonlordjl Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 just asking here because i know how awesome you guys are I am about to get tier 9 berserker and starting to think about which ranger class to upgrade. Is sniper better than desperado? and does long or short bow matter?Bows are worthless outside of Hex Hunter. And most people agree Desperado (rapid) is best for Hex.

Is sniper better than desperado? and does long or short bow matter?Bows are worthless outside of Hex Hunter. And most people agree Desperado (rapid) is best for Hex. Times are changin', Lee. ;) SNIPER is actually best for ranged users (of which there should only be hex users). It has better DPS overall while allowing for 1) more strategic hexing and 2) ammo conservation, which is actually a problem for hexers. Desperado is a little better than sniper on bosses only, but not enough to really justify taking the time to switch. Furthermore, you get better returns per tier with sniper than with desperado (ie, your desperado ring would have to be much higher tiered than your sniper ring to justify using it). To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimy_Bunyip Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 no desperado is 1.6/1.5x more damage than sniperand ammo shouldn't be a problem because it takes 10 seconds to log out and back in Sniper has better DPS. Three hex users spent many, many hours recording data to come to this conclusion, lol. Ammo is NOT recharged by logging. That only works for csbs.way to not explain why guys. in short, Desperado bonus doesn't stack with hexhunter bonus on Mobs, but does on bosses.Sniper boosts by a direct factor of 1.5xSo desperado bonus isn't actually 1.6x when you hex a monster with nonzero mage level. I SAW MY FIRST GAZER TODAY BUT IT DIDNT DROP A [bleep]ING HEX sorry had to get that out, so sad, guess i have to get another 20m dung exp :angry:~1/16 drop rate from soulgazers, don't get ur hopes up that easily ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirIzenhime Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 in short, Desperado bonus doesn't stack with hexhunter bonus on Mobs, but does on bosses. So when shooting a demon, you ONLY get he hexhunter boost, and nothing from your desperado ring?That's pretty lame...

xpx Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 in short, Desperado bonus doesn't stack with hexhunter bonus on Mobs, but does on bosses. So when shooting a demon, you ONLY get he hexhunter boost, and nothing from your desperado ring?That's pretty lame...Na, the way hex work is that it gives you a range level for every mage level your opponent has, but desperado gives you a percentage to your own range levels, thus, the basis is that sniper does stack with hexhunter bonus, bot desperado only does so for bosses. Had some banana floors with Tui today, trying for some faster floors.First one wasn't a complete map as noone could pot up to 104 agil, but it didn't seem as thee were too many doors left unopened.No battle mage on this floor(noone got it), was a nice one though.Last floor everyone overloaded at the start and i keyed a beast floor while Tui obviously ragequit. All keys were done but i couldn't bother opening the last door. First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20. March, 2014.First to 4664 Port Score on 2. March, 2015.

SirIzenhime Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 so basically, desperado gives you 20% of 99 range, not 20% of 198 mage (like if the opponent has 99 mage)?
